Trivia
- The Revolving Beast may have bee inspired by Voyage of Máel Dúin, a tale of a sea voyage written in Old Irish around the end of the 1st millennium AD. One of the islands Máel Dúin visited was "the island of the "Revolving Beast", a creature that would shift its form by manipulating its bones, muscles, and loose skin; it casts stones at the escaping crew and one pierces the keel of the boat."
