Another possibility for the origin of the Dragon’s name could be the demon Taphthartharath who according to certain real life occult books (such as those written by Cornelius Agrippa) was supposed to be the demon associated with the planet Mercury.This bears resemblance to Tathamet and the seven Great Evils. In the Warcraft universe, Y'Shaarj, one of the Old Gods, was killed by titans and his seven heads each formed a sha prime.Just as Tathamet is a being of destruction and the "father/grandfather" of all demons, Angra Mainyu is a being of chaos and destruction who created demons to battle Ahura Mazda. Ahura Mazda, the counterpart of Anu, was the original "uncreated" god who is opposed by Angra Mainyu, the personfication of evil and the counterpart to Tathamet. The relationship between Anu and Tathamet may be based on Ahura Mazda and Angra Mainyu of Zorastrianism.There are other myths in mythology throughout the Middle East depicting a seven-headed dragon or serpent as an evil being of destruction. Tathamet's depiction and namesakes are possibly influenced by the Beast and the Serpent, two beasts who bring about Armageddon in the New Testament.In Dungeons and Dragons, Tiamat is often portrayed as a five-headed dragon. Tiamat is later killed by Marduk, and her divided body form the heavens and the earth, like how Tathamet's body became the foundation of the Burning Hells. Tiamat mated with Abzu, the god of fresh water, giving birth to the gods this parallels the clash of Anu and Tathamet creating the universe. Tathamet is possibly named after Tiamat, a chaos monster and the primordial, draconic goddess of the oceans from Babylonian mythology. ![]() This section contains facts and trivia relevant to this article. ![]()
