Trivia

  • Zweilous is the last Pokémon in alphabetical order.
  • Of all the Pokémon that evolve by level alone, Zweilous evolves to its final form, Hydreigon, later than any other Pokémon, evolving at level 64.
  • Zweilous's evolutionary family, along with Shelgon's, are the only Pokémon exclusively in the Dragon Egg Group.
  • No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Zweilous and its evolutionary relatives.
  • While its Sugimori art depicts it having two tufts of fur on each of its necks, no other rendition displays this.

Origin

Zweilous is possibly based on Zmeys, a Slavic, winged, polycephal species of dragon. Its Shiny coloration may be a reference to the green colored Zmey Gorynych.

Name origin

Zweilous's name is possibly derived from zwei, meaning two in German, and jealous, as the heads are always fighting each other for food. Zweilous is also phonetically similar to the term zealous, which reflects Zweilous's voracious appetite and intensely competitive nature. Jiheddo's name is probably derived from 二 ji, meaning two, and head, literally reading as "two heads". "Ji" is also how the greek prefix "di" (two) is pronounced in Japanese, in words such as "dioxane" (jiokisan).
