Both Zamazenta and its counterpart Zacian are based on the common belief of Wolves in several Celtic Mythology and English Literature. They were also based on both Geri and Freki, two wolves who accompany Odin in Valhalla. Zamazenta's Crowned Shield form is also based on a knight wielding a shield. Its shield motif is also based on the Prydwen, the holy shield wielded by King Arthur.

Name origin
