**Several Paradeus units have names referring to Christian lore: the {{enemy name|Pyxis}} is named after the box containing the Eucharist, the {{enemy name|Hymnal Organ}} is a traditional instrument for organized prayer, and the {{enemy name|Quill of Patmos}} is named after John of Patmos, purportedly the author of the Bible's Book of Revelation.

**Paradeus' {{enemy name|Garmr}} is named after a monstrous dog acting as the guardian of the underworld in Norse mythology. Moreover, the Garmr units are associated with the Avernus base, named after a gate to the underworld in Roman tradition.

***Two other Norse references associated with Paradeus are [[Shadowless|Ráðgríðr]], named after a Valkyrie, and Project Hela, named after the Queen of Hell.

**Paradeus' {{enemy name|Gebbennu}} appears to be a combination of the Egyptian gods Geb, the Earth god associated with snakes, and Bennu, the Sun and reincarnation deity in the form of a heron.

**According to a now-deleted Weibo post by former [[Sunborn]] writer Jano, {{enemy name|Mercurows|boss}}' name is made of the words “mercury” and “[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merrow Merrow]”, a type of mermaid.
