Zevrad embodies the concept of a primordial serpent transformed into a dragon as many cultures can use these two creatures interchangeably when it comes to their symbolic functions. A serpent in some cultures represents the concept of rebirth, transformation, immortality, and healing through the traits of shedding their skin transforming themselves into legendary creatures known as dragons. Note that these creatures are viewed as Death and Destruction in Western cultures that must be slain but the East reveres them with Good Fortune.

The serpent was chosen for Zevrad since in Egyptian Mythology, the serpent was a god of Chaos and was the natural opponent of the Light. This concept was later transformed from Egyptian Mythology to the folklore in Slavic culture or Chinese Mythology of a creature transforming into a dragon through perseverance and determination. By fusing the lowly Gan'arg and Night Elf transformed them into one of the deadliest demon hunters as it unlocked Mal'akor's potential as a subspecies of the Mo'arg Race. Powerful and intelligent demons who are said to be the most diverse race in the entire Burning Legion.

To compliment this inspiration came the idea of how The Orphic Egg represents the cosmos in its most abstract conception. Here are some of the interpretations of the symbol:

• A Symbol of Creation – The Orphic Egg was the beginning of the universe in terms of Cosmogony, as if it were a kind of Big Bang Theory. It was the source the deity of procreation and life known as Phanes in Greek mythology and Orphic tradition. He is also called Protogonos, which translates to “first-born.”

• The Union of Opposites – The Orphic Egg is described as having both male and female elements which made the god who emerged from it, Phanes, characterized as both male and female. Giving them the ability to give birth to the gods and create order in the universe.

• A Representation of Orphic Mysteries – The Orphic Egg is based on an ancient Greek religion associated with literature known as Orphism and according to An Analysis of Ancient Mythology, the Orphic Egg represents the “the soul of the philosopher; the serpent, the Mysteries.”
