When the party first discovers the [[Rimland]] shrine, Ramia is only an egg being guarded by a pair of twin sisters. In order to hatch her egg, the hero and his/her party must gather the [[Six Orbs]] from around the world and place them on pedestals surrounding it. Once hatched, Ramia serves as the series' first aerial transportation, allowing access to such places as [[Baramos]]' castle and the Dragon Queen's castle in the central continent. However, Ramia cannot travel to the [[Alefgard|~~World of Darkness~~]], nor can she land where the player cannot walk, such as high mountains and bodies of water.

*The ~~twins~~ who accompany Ramia in both of her main series appearances are a reference to the faerie-like attendants of Mothra known as the [https://wikizilla.org/wiki/Shobijin Shobijin]. Both sets wear clothing reminiscent of Pacific islanders, speak on behalf of a divine begin, talk in unison, and pray for the hatching/manifestation of their holy one.

::Mothra herself is mentioned by [[Yuji Horii]] as a part of his trivia quiz in the developer's room ending of ''Chrono Trigger''.

*The [[Erdrick Equipment|iconography]] of Erdrick bears a distinct resemblance to Ramia, appearing on the sword, shield, and armor of legend. Even the Hero's emblem bears Ramia's visage, likely owning to her significance in ''III's'' chain of events.

*With the exception of [[Fluffy]], all of Ramia's synthesis components in ''The Dark Prince'' are monsters that debuted in [[Cloudsgate Citadel (bonus dungeon)|the bonus dungeon of the remake of ''III'']]

*Akira Sakuma, the creator of the ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momotar%C5%8D_Densetsu| Momotaro Densetsu]'' series, was the first person outside of the ''Dragon Quest III'' development staff to see Ramia's finalized design when he visited Yuji Horii's home<ref>https://archive.ph/HFJyC</ref>.
