Daedalus was a sculptor working on the statue of a dragon when his soul got trapped inside his work of art. Now he's a fully functioning dragon, but his spirit remains the one of an artist and contributor.
In Greek mythology, Daedalus was a skillful architect, craftsman and artist, noted for designing the Labyrinth containing the Minotaur and for being the father of Icarus.
Design likely inspired by the female MUTO, a creature from the 2014 Godzilla film.
