==Trivia==
*The fan is named after and features the [[Wikipedia:Black Tortoise|Black Tortoise]], one of the Four Symbols of the Chinese constellations. In Chinese, it is known as Xuanwu and in Japan, it is known as Genbu. It is often depicted as a tortoise intertwined with a snake, though in this game it is a tortoise with a large viper in place ot it's tail, not unlike the Greek chimaera. In any case the celestial being represents the north and the season of winter.
