Its design could also be based on medieval heroic tales of European knights, specifically on the poem ''{{wp|Cantar de mio Cid|El Cantar de mio Cid}}''. The poem relates the legend of the Spanish knight {{wp|El Cid}}, known for wielding two famous swords, {{wp|Tizona}} and {{wp|Colada}}; and is said to have won his most important battle after death, which would explain Ceruledge's Ghost typing. | Ceruledge may be based on a possessed suit of armor.
