Profile
Origin
- Main section: Hades § Origin
Plouton,[a] Latinized as Pluto, is an alternative name for the Greek god Hades derived from the word πλοῦτος ploûtos, meaning "wealth."[1] In his dialogue Cratylus, Plato has Socrates hypothesize that the name Plouton is preferred in common speech out of fear of Hades.[2]
Under Greek cultural influence, the Romans identified Pluto with Dis Pater[3][4] and occasionally Orcus,[5][4] and the name Pluto was also used in Latin literature.
Design
Pluto is a tall humanoid possessing a skeleton's head with a red bat-shaped symbol on his forehead, and has purple hands with sharp red fingernails. He wears a black trench coat and black boots, and carries a scythe with a curved red eye.
Pluto was a winner of a contest for fan-submitted devil designs held for children at Tokyo Game Show 2001 Spring.[6] According to the game's credits, its designer was Shōtarō Tanoue.
