ElHefe Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) We have all come to expect and delight in how DE makes use of historical, mythological and technical references in Warframe Well, Archwing is no exception ... 1. Odonata (from Greek odontos "tooth") refers to the order of flying carnivorous insects (dragonflies/damselflies) whose mandibles have prominent projections resembling vertebrate teeth 2. Elytron (from Greek elytra "sheath") refers to the hardened anterior forewings of beetles 3. Imperator (from Latin "commander") refers either to a beetle where the male has impressive mandibles used in courtship and fending off rivals OR the Emperor (Blue) dragonfly Haven't found where Onorix, Veritux or Corvas (from the Spanish?) were derived from yet ...

ElHefe Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 More bugs! More shiny bugs! Haha! I was hoping someone would pick up on that ... Still, I am not sure whether DE intended that to be foreshadowing or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
