[TokuKnight89]

We're all taught about various mythological creatures and stories when we're young. As such, it's no great surprise when tokusatsu riffs on the same thought process.

Super Sentai has predicated much of its own history by adapting various mythologies, but it took years to reach that point. Zyuranger was one of the first to really double down on real-world mythology as a primary source of inspiration.

Some mythological adaptations in any toku, be it Zyuranger or not, can rely on both obvious mythologies and more obscure creatures of legend.

For example, Dora Circe (Pudgy Pig) is a reference to The Odyssey, right down to the helmet it wears and the use of moly. Other Dora Monsters might be a little harder to peg. If Dora Guzzler is a reference to anything, I can't place it.

The purpose here is to help with identifying the obvious and the obscure. Not everyone will catch what, if anything, a monster is a reference towards. Sometimes the myth is related to the Rangers themselves and their weapons and allies and "Mecha".
