I see. I just also read that it might represent the World Serpent due to the ring it has, although it looks far from being a "serpent" .Adding with the possiblity it might be based on a fusion reactor, Volcanion is surely a interesting Legendary in terms of design. Looks like the modern version of Heatran of sorts, minus the cat-like head it seems to have.
In the norse mitology, the world serpent is called Jörmungandr, which I believe would be Zygarde, the name kind of resembles it, and the ground type would make sense with the world thing, which makes me think, there's no Nidhogg in the game, and according to it's description in the legend it would be just perfect for a poison/dragon type legendary... but if they didn't find it yet, guess it won't be there...
