Etymology

Egil could possibly be synonymous with Egil, a figure in Norse myth. He and his brothers captured three swan maidens (possibly valkyries) bathing without their wings and made them their wives for several years. Eventually the maidens found their wings and flew away. Egil, devastated, searches endlessly for his lost wife, but in vain.

Tiamat is a Mesopotamian ocean goddess.

Trivia

• The monster bears a very close resemblance to the eponymous "Alien" of the Alien franchise.
