- "Hawwa" is based on the stars of "Ophiuchus". In medieval Islamic astronomy (Azophi's Uranometry, 10th century), the constellation was known as Al-Ḥawwaʾ "the snake-charmer". That's what the name of this monster came for.
- Due to this monster is based on Ophiuchus, which is symbolized by a man carrying a snake so this monster is holding a staff that looks like it binded with a snake, similar to the Rod of Asclepius.
- A symbol commonly associated with Ophiuchus is the Caduceus, which is a staff with two snakes wrapped around it.
- The inclusion of Ophiuchus may have been included due to the popularity of the Ophiuchus sign in Japan.
- The symbol of this constelation looks like a letter U with a superimposed tilde (U̴ ) as seen at the back of this monster. It was a stylized representation of a man carrying a snake. Ophiuchus has sometimes been used in sidereal astrology as a thirteenth sign in addition to the twelve signs of the tropical Zodiac. Ophiuchus is one of thirteen constellations that cross the ecliptic. It has therefore been called the '13th sign of the zodiac'.
- This card appears in the artwork for "Constellar Star Cradle".
- According to the Duel Terminal Storyline in the Duel Terminal Master Guide 2013, "Constellar Rasalhague" used the power of the "Gishki Aquamirror" to fuse itself with the 3 corrupted "Ice Barrier" Dragons to become "Evilswarm Kerykeion" in order to defeat "Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth" together with "Constellar Sombres", which means that it is not a true "Lswarm" monster and also is not completely corrupted per se as compared to the other Duel Terminal monsters infected by the virus of "Lswarm", and thus explaining the "Constellar" symbol that can be seen on the Aquamirror staff that it is holding.
