Minotaurus

The labyrinthian tunnels of the undersea prison Impel Down, which is itself a reference to the Italian novel The Divine Comedy, specifically Dante's Inferno, are already enough of a chore to navigate, irrespective of the guards that litter the place.

One of the most powerful jailers that protect the prison is Minotaurus, a gigantic minotaur that roams the floors. In Greek mythology, the minotaur is similarly confined to a maze to act as an unwitting guard that slays all who are foolish enough to enter.

Magellan

Magellan resembles a baphomet.

Baphomet is a deity allegedly worshipped by the Knights Templar that subsequently became incorporated into various occult and mystical traditions. The name Baphomet appeared in trial transcripts for the Inquisition of the Knights Templar starting in 1307.

The actual image of a goat in a downward-pointing pentagram first appeared in the 1897 book La Clef de la Magie Noire, written by the French occultist Stanislas de Guaita. It was this image that was later adopted as the official symbolโ€”called the Sigil of Baphometโ€”of the Church of Satan, and continues to be used among Satanists.
