It’s Terastal form isn’t actually a Tirtle, but likely a similar filter feeding, but ancient and extinct relative called a Henodus, pic related.
It’s abilities to create illusions actually match a Chinese dragon/shape shifter, called a Chen or Shen, whose abilities allow it to make mirages. This becomes relevant in my next point
Heath’s whole journey, sent by an Emperor into Area Zero to discover the secrets treasures of immortality held by a Wizard illusionist, stopped by a monster in their journey, but survived…hey all match a story of Mount Penglai from China that depict the mountain as a place that’s paradise and covered in jewels and gold and silver, as well as the Japanese parallel-but-contradictory, Kwaidan, which stets it’s not a place of Paradise, but filled with the fragments of souls and memories of the past, and home to little faerie people.
