Do we really need anything about the Final Fantasy Bahamut here, besides the fact that the names are similar? Harryg (talk) 23:14, 1 April 2013 (EDT)
- Well if one inspired the other... speaking of which "Final Fantasy's Bahamut is most likely named after the Bahamut of Arabian mythology, an omnipotent being who rides on a whale's back. By extension, the Arabian Bahamut is also Bahamutt's namesake." There's a missing step in there. D&D had a Bahamut as well, likely the actual inspiration for the FF one (given how many early computer/video game RPGS were just ripping off D&D and LOTR), but itself likely derived from the Arabian one. 98.243.94.83 18:16, 23 July 2014 (EDT)
