- The name "Bathin" comes from The Lesser Key of Solomon, a 17th-century grimoire compiling texts on sorcery, angels, and demons. The first book of the grimoire, the Ars Goetia ("Art of Witchcraft"), lists a hierarchy of demons that rule over Hell, listing Bathin as a Duke of Hell. In the original text he is described as a muscular, serpent-tailed man with vast knowledge of the properties of plants and stones, and rides a pale horse with which he can transport others over great distances.
- Witness Bathin keeps the trend of frog theme in Anura with the frog like legs and croaky growl at the beginning of the fight.
