===Origin===
Zacian may be based on one of the two {{wp|Chimera (mythology)|chimeras}} designed on the golden hilt of {{wp|King Arthur}}'s sword {{wp|Excalibur}}. This weapon was first named in ''{{wp|Culhwch and Olwen}}'', a Welsh {{wp|Matter of Britain|Arthurian tale}} about how the king slew the chief of the {{wp|Giants (Welsh folklore)|giants}}. Its role as a warrior aiding a king may take inspiration on the {{wp|Knights of the Round Table}}. In addition, Zacian's feminine nature may be a reference to the {{wp|Lady of the Lake}}, the character responsible for giving King Arthur his sword, and its relationship with Zamazenta may allude to the relationship between King Arthur and his sister {{wp|Morgan le Fay}}.

It may also be based on {{wp|Saint George and the Dragon|Ascalon}}, the sword or lance used by {{wp|Saint George}}, England's {{wp|patron saint}}, to slay a venomous dragon. On top of that, it may be based on the hero {{wp|Beowulf (hero)|King Beowulf}}, from the epic poem ''{{wp|Beowulf}}''.
