*[[Goriath]] is a possible reference to Saiyan warriors from the ''Dragon Ball'' franchise. This includes the change in hair colors similar to the Super Saiyan transformation and the beam attacks being a nod to the Kamehameha Wave. Additionally, Goriath's primate traits are connected to the Saiyans themselves (hinted at by their long tails resembling those of Goku's inspiration, Sun Wukong, from the 16th Century Chinese novel ''Journey to the West''), especially their Great Ape transformations on nights of a [[wikipedia:full moon|full moon]]. | *[[Goriath]] is a possible reference to Saiyan warriors from the ''Dragon Ball'' franchise.
