Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • The bow's zebra accents may be a reference to Cairon, a centaur from Michael Ende's The Never-ending Story, who is described as being a zebra from the waist down. Cairon himself is an homage to Cheiron of Greek mythology, being a sagacious centaur who tutored such heroes as Achilles and Hercules.
