Editing Orochi (section)

==Trivia==
*Orochi is revealed to be female by speaking to NPCs in ''Dragon Quest III''.
*If the {{Hero 3}} does not chase Orochi through the portal upon her initial defeat (instead leaving the cave), she will be standing in the same spot later, forcing the player to battle her again. She does not drop the Orochi sword more than once, though.
*The dreadful beast and the events surrounding [[Jipang]] and the arrival of the {{Hero 3}} are based on the Japanese legend of the [[wikipedia:Yamata no Orochi|Yamata no Orochi]]. Yamato no Orochi is an eight-headed and eight-tailed dragon who demands human sacrifices, and who is slain by the thunder god [[Wikipedia:Susanoo-no-Mikoto|Susanō no Mikoto]]. The Orochi sword is likewise a reference to the [[wikipedia:Kusanagi|Kusanagi]], a sword found within the body of Orochi.
