Origin
Altaria is likely based on Peng, Chinese legendary birds of enormous size, said to travel 3000 Li (Chinese unit) in one flap of their mighty, cloud-like wings. They're often portrayed as having a dragon's head and whiskers.
Name origin:
Altaria is a combination of alto (Italian for high) or altus (Latin for high) and aria (Italian for air). Ária means melody in Portuguese, which may be related to Altaria's singing abilities. It may also refer to the star Altair, the brightest star in the constellation Aquila, the Eagle.
Tyltalis may refer to Tyl—also known as Epsilon Draconis—a star in the constellation Draco, the Dragon.
