Talk:Trepak Dragon/@comment-38077244-20190115152554

I have a few definitions for what the name might be referencing

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, Trepak is a “ a fiery Ukrainian folk dance performed by men and featuring the leg- flinging prisiadka.”

And according to findwords.info, Trepak “is one of the several consecutive ethnic dances in Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's famous ballet The Nutcracker. It is based on the traditional Ukrainian folk dance known in Ukrainian as the Tropak or Tripak. The "Trepak" often also goes under the name "Russian Dance””

This would explain why this dragon resembles a nutcracker in some ways, at least in my opinion.
