  • This monster resembles Cerberus, the legendary three-headed dog that guards the Underworld in Greek mythology.
  • This monster is named after Sirius, the brightest star of the night sky, and a part of the Canis Major or Greater Dog constellation. Sirius is also the dog companion of the huntsman Orion of Greek mythology.
    • The Japanese spelling of "Sirius" is based on its Greek spelling, "Seirios".
    • The Chinese name for Sirius is Tiānlángxīng (天狼星 "heavenly wolf star"), which is similar to the first part of this monster's Japanese name, "Heavenly Wolf Lord" (天狼王 Tenrō'ō).
    • This monster's effect activation upon being destroyed and sent to the Graveyard references the Pawnee creation myth, in which the wolf (represented by the Wolf Star, Sirius) was the first creature to experience death.
