  • This monster is based on Barbas (also spelled "Marbas"), which is a demon described in the Ars Goetia, a work of Christian demonology and the first section of King Solomon's grimoirea. Barbas is depicted as a great lion that, under the conjurer's request, changes shape into a man.
    • This card's name, "Barbaros", is Greek for barbarian, and is also likely derived from Barbas; both names are also derived from "barba" (Latin "beard" or "hellebore", a plant used in witchcraft, especially to invoke demons).
