Terrakion appears to be based on the character of Porthos from the novel The Three Musketeers. Like Porthos, Terrakion is the heaviest, largest, and strongest member of the trio. It also has traits of big horn sheep and oxen. Like the other members of its trio, its nose resembles that of a sheep, goat, or other hoofed animal.
Terrakion is derived from terra (Latin for earth), or terracotta (a clay-based material, as well as its respective color), and possibly takin or champion.
