*** Oz's [[Sacred Artifact]], the Emerald Bottle, is both a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Emerald_City|Emerald City]] where the main group had to reach to talk to the Wizard and the dish of an unknown liquid the Wizard gives the Cowardly Lion, saying that it was "liquid courage".

*** His desire of reaching space is a reference to the song of "[[Wikipedia:Over_the_Rainbow|Over the Rainbow]]" where the main protagonist [[Wikipedia:Dorothy_Gale|Dorothy]] longed for a place far from troubles, somewhere beyond the rain and behind the moon.

** As Oz's profile states that he ruled over a deep gorge in Olympus while Zo ruled a forest, Oz is likely also a reference to the lesser known [[Wikipedia:Lion_of_Cithaeron|Lion of Cithaeron]], yet another mythical beast, said to have been slain-- either by Heracles or [[Wikipedia:Apollo|Apollo]] depending on the myth, in a place called the "Ravine"

** Zo is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Nemean_lion|Nemean Lion]], a creature born from [[Typhon]] and his consort [[Wikipedia:Echidna_(mythology)|Echidna]]. One of the most famous stories involving the Lion was in the [[Wikipedia:Labours_of_Hercules|Twelve Labours of Heracles]]. The Lion was the first trial [[Heracles]] had to face and turned into a loincloth after its defeat.

*** Zo's body of not being able to be cut by a blade is a reference to how the Nemean Lion's fur was impervious to mortal weapons, so Heracles had to defeat it by strangling the lion.
