#340 Daikokuten’s Attendants
Originating from the Buddhist version of Shiva & conflated with the Shinto god Okuninushi, Daikokuten is a god of fortune & wealth.
His mice come from being associated with the northern direction, which corresponds to the Rat in the Chinese Zodiac.
#339 Super Bunyan
Super Bunyan has FOUR characters. Mike Fink (crocodile), Rider (implied to be Georges Méliès) & Assassin (implied to be J. Edgar Hoover). Because Méliès & Hoover have living descendants today, their identities cannot be confirmed for legal reasons.
#337 Trung Trac & Trung Nhi (The Trung Sisters)
The sisters were born in Jiaozhi, Vietnam of Lac ethnicity. Trac was the only queen regnant in all of Vietnamese history! Sources differ on their ultimate fates against China but they are national heroes of Vietnam to this day.

#335 Iskandar’s Shadow
Known as “Hephaestion Mnemosyne” in FGO, that’s not actually her name & she doesn’t have a real one. She debuted in The Lord El-Melloi II Case Files as the Servant of Doctor Heartless.
The real Hephaestion was her brother, and Iskandar’s lover in reality.
#334 Koyanskaya of Darkness
Originally, the developers planned to release Koyanskaya as a single unit, but decided to split her into two.
While being as vague as possible, the event that created her in lore is believed to have been a meteor that exploded in the atmosphere.
#333 Beast IV: L
Beast IV: L’s design is has many breasts, aligning her with the motif found in the Ephesian Artemis. There is debate if these indicate fertility, but much of Ephesus was destroyed by Christians, citing “the demon Artemis” as one of their reasons to do so.
#332 Dobrynya Nikitich
Based loosely off a historical figure, the real Dobrynya was the uncle of Vladimir the Great. There is not much known about him, but he seems to have been violent and controversial.
In game, Dobrynya takes heavily from the folklore inspired from him.
#330 Martha
Fittingly, Martha is the patron saint of butlers, cooks, homemakers, servants and so on. She is often associated with brooms, keys and of course, Tarasque.
In Eastern Orthodox tradition, she is also one of the myrrh-bearers who discovered the tomb of Jesus empty.
