Talk:Degil
Species
I'm pretty sure Dejiru is actually based more on a white snake, rather than an eel. A direct translation of ジール, jīru or ジール is zeal. I found it rather interesting that there is a Chinese legend called Legend of the White Snake. While the story of Densetsu no Starfy 4 doesn't quite match up with the legend, there are some similarities with it, namely the way that Starfy falls in love with Mattel, although Mattel isn't revealed to be Dejiru.
I think Dejiru is more of a snake is the way that she coils up in her own body mass (video by Messhi), and how Dejiru wasn't always seen underwater. (though I might be mistaken) She also slivers like a snake at the end of the best ending.
I thought it was also worth mentioning that King Delarin, the main antagonist of For the Frog the Bell Tolls is a snake. It might be coicidental though... as I don't know what 'de' means. --Torchickens 04:14, 8 May 2012 (CDT)
