Changes: Azura (G1)

Revision as of 09:57, 15 May 2012

Azura is a scarab beetle belonging to Nefera de Nile.

Azura is a light blue and gold male scarab beetle with jewels around his neck.

"...Scarabeus sacer, to be exact, he brings me the sun."

Scarabaeus sacer is a species of dung beetle. When Nefera says that Azura will "bring her the sun", she refers to the way that the Ancient Egyptians compared the way that dung beetles rolled dung to the way that the Egyptian god Khepri rolled the sun across the sky.
Azura comes from the word "azure", which is a shade of blue that is somewhat similar to his color, and also that of his "pet" Nefera's hair.
In Nefera de Nile's Diary, Azura is referred to as a 'she' in one of the entries.
In myth, "Azura" was the wife of Seth, one of the sons of Adam & Eve, from the Bible. "Azura" is also the name of one of the major characters in The Elder Scrolls video game series.
