During the late [[Gate Rune War]], following the [[The Last Battle (Suikoden)|Last Battle]], many monsters appeared in [[Gregminster Palace]]. Of these, the Ekidonna is said to be one of the most formidable of all enemies. Even a battle-tested warrior would struggle against the height of its vitality and magic power. But those who were able to defeat the Ekidonna had a chance to obtain the [[Windspun Armor]], the best armour at the time. Warriors fortunate to get this armour unscathed would have obtained impregnable defensive power. | During the late [[Gate Rune War]], following the [[The Last Battle (Suikoden)|Last Battle]], many monsters appeared in [[Gregminster Palace]].

The name Ekidonna comes from the Japanese "エキドナ" which refers to the Echidna. In Greek mythology, the Echidna was a half woman half snake creature, known as the "Mother of All Monsters" because most of the monsters in Greek myth were mothered by her, including Cerberus, the Chimera and the Gorgon. She is also the name sake of the slightly less horrifying real life animal, the Echinda. | The name Ekidonna comes from the Japanese "エキドナ" which refers to the Echidna.
