>>45823080I think a lot of you in this thread have to search online before posting their theories, because some of them are just "limited" interpetration while there are better and more faithful to what gamefreak was actually thinking.
>>45823813>is definitely based on common depictions of a hydraNo, this is wrong. Not every multiheaded "dragons" are hydras. There are "Yamata no Orochi" too, but Eternatus isn't either it.
Eternatus Eternamax is probably based on the Shesha, the king of Naga, a giant Serpent depicted with multiple heads, most of the time he has 5 heads, and the tails is coiled as a spiral with Visnu resting on it.
It could as be based on the Ancient Serpent, or also known as the Apocalypse Dragon (which is Satan), which is depicted as Seven-Headed dragon who brings destruction and the end of the days, exactly like Eternatus.
My headcanon is Eternatus being one of the "thousand arms" of Arceus, who helped to shape the universe.
