Monster Names

[lololink]

I wonder how devout Hindus feel about Garuda and Shiva being vicious monsters worshipped by beast tribes and needing to be defeated by mere mortals. Probably about the same as Christians would if one of those monsters had been named Jesus.

Well in FFXIII the last boss is kind of a representation of the christian trinity. I think all religion have one god as a monster in FF, and also sephiroth is something from the jewish religion too.
I always wondered if Shiva was based on the verb shiver, more than the god Shiva.
