Trivia[]

  • "Ouroboros" is a Greek word that means "tail swallower," referring to the snake swallowing its own tail. Its origins were in Ancient Egypt as a solar symbol that represented the travels of the "sun disk." In Gnosticism, it is associated with the sun god Abraxas and symbolized eternity due to its circular shape. It is associated with other cultures as well, such as the serpent JormĆ¼ngandr from Norse mythology, the Aztec serpent God Queztalcoatl, and alchemical dragons from Chinese folklore.
    • On a more relevant note, the ouroboros symbol represents the spirit of Mercury, an element that signifies continuous renewal, the cycle of life and death, and the harmony of opposites; this is because the snake is often used as a symbol of resurrection or rebirth due to a snake shedding its skin.
      • This could be a reference to the modified mercury used to turn genetic chimeras into pseudo-supernatural ones, the fact that the Dread Doctors' green serum that can be used to renew dying cells and resurrect the dead, or the Chimera nature itself, which involves components of two separate supernatural species within one individual.
