Trivia

Origin

Spectrier possibly draws inspiration from the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse with Spectrier representing the Black Horse of Famine given its ability to drain the life force of beings around it. It may also be based off of a kelpie, a mythological spirit that is often depicted as a horse and originates from Scotland, which the Crown Tundra is based on. Kelpies in mythology are also stated to hunt those that attempt to ride them. This is shown with how Calyrex is able to tame and ride Spectrier. Alternatively, it could be based on the Púca, a mythological shapeshifting creature ridden by the High King Of Ireland that often took the form of a horse. The Púca was tamed by a bridle made of its tail hair, like the Reigns of Unity, and it tended to come in either black or white, just like Spectrier and Glastrier. It may also take inspiration from the black chess pieces in the game chess, specifically the Knight pieces, which depict a horse's head. Spectrier may also reference the Old English Black, a breed of extinct horse who went on to become the modern Clydesdale and Shire horse breeds. Its hooves being detached from its main body may reference the feathering of the Old English Black as well.

Etymology

Spectrier comes from specter and destrier (a medieval battle horse).
