Asla's appearance as a large, eight-legged horse owned by a king is likely a reference to Sleipnir, the eight-legged horse that served as Odin's steed. The name "Asla" may be derived from Aslaug, a queen from Norse mythology. Notably, Aslaug was the mother of Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye, while Asla was a wedding gift from Estrid, who would also give birth to a son with unusual eyes.
