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 Ekidonna (エキドナ, Ekidona) is an enemy which appears in Suikoden.

The Ekidonna is also the only monster who drops the rare Windspun Armor, which is the best armour in the game for Blackman, Humphrey, Kessler, Kreutz, Kwanda, Pesmerga and Varkas.
