Etymology[]
Dreisang's name is likely derived from the Anglo-Saxon elements "dreó" (meaning "magic") and "sang" (meaning "song" or "singing"), which may reflect the way he casts his spells.
In the Japanese version, his title, 魔大公, is composed by the kanjis of 魔 (magic, demon), 大 (great, huge, vast) and 公 (uncommon kanji for monarch, ruler, sovereign, duke, master).
Trivia[]
- Because the advanced-job boss quartet are godlike beings, their designs lean toward fantasy in contrast to the game's realistic medieval setting. As such, their composition of their clothes and accessories is intended to exceed human comprehension.[1]
- Concept art depicts Dreisang with three alternative eye coverings: a blindfold, a cloth veil, and bushy eyebrows.[1]
- All of the other seated bosses in Octopath Traveler command a tilted pose to add energy, but Dreisang is an exception. He may have caused the sprite animators a headache with such few parts to work with.[1]
- Although Dreisang does not appear among the gods of Solistia, certain townspeople in Octopath Traveler II reference his name in the skill "Nocturne of Sang," suggesting that he has since faded from legend.
- In the OTRPG, Dreisang's divine domains are Magic and Transformation, and his sigil is a Cane.
