• Oddly, despite its serpentine appearance and its Japanese name containing the kanji and furigana used for the Sea Serpent Type (海（かい）竜（りゅう） Kairyū, "Sea Dragon"), this monster is not a Sea Serpent nor a Dragon monster.

• This card's name, "Leviair", is a combination of "Levitation" and "Air".
  • It may also be based on the Leviathan, a sea monster referenced in the Tanakh, or the Old Testament.

• This monster could be based on Quetzalcoatl ("feathered-serpent"), a deity of the Aztec mythology.
  • This supported by this card being WIND-Attribute and Aqua-Type (although Reptile and Sea-Serpent would also be as appropriate Types).

• The kanji Koku (虚（こ）空（くう）, "Empty-Space") in this card's Japanese name may be a reference to this card's effect of Special Summoning banished monsters on the field.
