The Japanese name of the monster, "Akairai", is a reference to the [[wikipedia:Achaierai|Achaierai]] monster from the Dungeons & Dragons franchise. | ||
==Origins== | |||
All three Beakon types are exaggerated parodies of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phorusrhacidae| Phorusrhacidae] family of flightless birds. More commonly know as terror birds, these walking hatchets possessed enormous beaks and existed as apex predators in the plains of South America roughly 2 million years ago in the Cenozoic era. | |||
