Topic: Cryptozoology in the Zero series...

[Yllisos Zanon]

Just to name a few to start this.

Pheonik Magnion= Pheonix: an ancient mystical bird born from ashes, dies by fire.  Is said to be a symbol of resurrection.

Tretesta Kelverian= Cerberus: the three headed hound that gaurds the gates of Hades. 

I know there is quite the list in this series alone, once I get a complete listing, I'll post it.

Anyone can help with this.

That's all I can remember right now

... You mention a demi-god like Hercules and an entity such as the Grim-Reaper yet you don't consider Vampires and their relation to other bloodsucking creatures such as the Vampire Bat to be worth mentioning?

Aside from that, ALL Mythos Repliroids have some mythological and folkloric roots. Eels, Stags, Stag Beetles, Rabbits, Panther, Falcon. All are creatures that have appeared in stories with possibly special powers and/or are worshiped in some manner. Even a cactus is mythological in some parts of this world.

Honestly I'm not a fan of the Reaper-Mantisk thing, but I couldn't find much pointing towards Schilt's vampirism other than being a bat, and having that aristocrat personality of his and his obsession with manners. I chose to stay on the safe side.

Sorry. I missed the conclusion of the Mythos vs. Mutos discussions, and I ignore where that rules comes from.

I dug my own grave as consecuence of the previous rule and by saying "possibly none" instead of "None I've been informed of". As true as your statement is, I'm not completely checkmated since you didn't give a list of possible suspects to fill those gaps, so right now your claim sounds more like "what are the chances of some culture not having already mythified all these creatures?"

[Zan]

Sorry. I missed the conclusion of the Mythos vs. Mutos discussions, and I ignore where that rules comes from.

ミュートス

Mythos beer uses the same symbols. Also:

Message from Dr. Weil. Get equipped with MMZOCW.

Mutos Reploid
Reploids created by Neo Arcadia to protect humans. Their designs are based on divine creatures.

Based on figures from various mythologies and fables, they exude the very essence of guardians.


By the connection to mythology and fables, Mythos is the more accurate term. Vile Numbers are also considered Mythos Repliroids.

[RMX]

Good, but we still don't know the concrete myths.

Also, what was the name of Ragnarok's core, the one Weil fuses with. It was named after some Norse sword owned by some (ice?) giant.

[Zan]

Laevatein.

[Saber]

Uh, wasn't Laevatein, according to the drama tracks, the control room of Ragnarok instead of the core? The very room you fought Kraft in? The symbolism of Ragnarok core being a sword pointing down to Earth more makes it seem like the well-known Sword of Damocles, then again, Damocles is from Greek mythology I recall, not Norse like the entire Ragnarok thing.

[Zan]

Quoting MarshmallowMan:
Laevatein is Ragnarok's sword-shaped core. The control room where Zero fought Craft was where the control module for Laevatein was operated and regulated from.

....

I believe it's literally the station's computer brain. The diagram in Vile's Incident shows Energen stores surrounding the center of the station, so it probably isn't directly related to power supply/output besides the regulation of it. But once Vile is connected to the brain of the ship, it would all in essence sort of become part of him, perhaps.

[Flok]

Some of them are pretty obvious mythology references, others are not so, but still, I prefer to call all of them Neo Arcadians instead.

I really doubt that Glacier le Cactank has one though.

[Flame]

besides being Glacier + cactus + tank.

[marshmallow man]

Laevatein is Ragnarok's sword-shaped core. The control room where Zero fought Craft was where the control module for Laevatein was operated and regulated from.

What I said. The track description is very clear that Laevatein is the sword-core thing. The control room is where it can be interfaced with, without plugging yourself in. Probably a bad analogy, but if it were a starship like the Enterprise, using computers they run the ship's functions from the main deck, but the actual means which perform these tasks are in other places, computing and engineering decks and what have you.


I remember Kamrous is was from Ainu culture.

I really wonder what the significance of the cactus is, if it's a myth somewhere or just pop culture or what. Dash and ZX also have talking cactus references. Amingo of MvC2, who seems to be a kind of guardian of nature. You'd think there'd be an origin somewhere, but I don't know what it is.

[Yllisos Zanon]

I usually go to pantheon.org for this sort of thing, now if memory serves me right, the stag and rabbit do have a reference, through native american legends.  Plus they are part of the native american birth signs and/or aztec signs. 

In fact, I think I know where I can find a bat referance.  I'll get back to you all on that one.

--edit--
A quick little something I just found.  Click on Adaox on the page.

http://pantheon.org/areas/mythology/americas/native_american/articles.html

First Found bat finding. Click in the Find box in the top corner, search for Fu-xing. no comment 
I am sure there are more bat findings.

[Align]

Lucky Star, huh?

[Yllisos Zanon]

Even though it's ZX, I laughed hard at this...

Bifrost:
In Norse mythology, Bifrost is the bridge between Midgard, the realm of man, and Asgard, the realm of the gods. Since it is the only way for the giants to enter Asgard it is closely guarded by Heimdall, the watchman of the gods.
Bifrost was made of three colors with magic and great skill by the Aesir and is incredibly strong. It is also called Asbru, referring to its makers. At the end of the cosmos, this rainbow-bridge will collapse.

Fits him quite well. 

[Align]

It does? Not seeing the similarities...

[Yllisos Zanon]

While in Bifrosts battle, the door to the left leads to his stage along with the other stage, along with Hunters Camp, being Midgard.  To the door on the right, leads to the teleporter to the second to last stage, containing Pandora, Prometheus and Albert, being Asgard.

Plus, while in Bifrosts room, you can see those GIANT robots similiar to the beginning boss. (name escapes me right)  Bifrost himself is white, blue and pink.  Three colors.

[Tickle Buffalo]

So heaven is a volcano underwater, and the gods are a trio of crazy robots?


You're pretty easy to please.

[Yllisos Zanon]

The name Bifrost in general is the connection I found.

Albert does mention the words "I am a God" towards the end, that's part to why made that last topic.  But in general, just brain farting an idea out. 

[Night]

I believe Childre Inarabitta comes from the white hare of Inaba tale...

I can't find an article of it at the moment...

[Flame]

he obviously comes from there, as Foxtar is the nine tailed fox, and Kelverian is Fluffy.

[Acid]

Listen to my vast knowledge of mythology:

Laevatein was on of the two swords of Surt/Surtr the fire giant who would end the world with his flames during Ragnarok. The other sword being Surtralogi.

[MassKiller1]

So we are wondering why Veil chose the name Laevatein instead Surtralogi...?

(or does Veil have ANOTHER ragnarok named Surtalogi O.O ... jk xD)

[Klavier Gavin]

Veil

Who? >>;

[MassKiller1]

Who? >>;

In the Japanese version of Roackman Zero, Weil is actually called Veil (and Vile in Rockman X Series is called VAVA).
