Trivia[]

Hecuba is the former Queen of Troy, wife of Priam, who after being handed over to Odysseus as a slave, snarled and cursed at him, so the gods transformed her into a dog. Melinoë mentions Odysseus' dog is in the Crossroads with him, likely referring to Hecuba, implying Odysseus is also her owner.
Hecuba is the fourth animal Melinoë has the option to turn into a familiar and equip.
- Unlike the other familiars so far, Hecuba already belongs to Hecate who is only lending her to Melinoë for the time being.
- Hecuba is also currently the only one of Melinoë's familiars who was formerly human. All of her other familiars were presumably born as animals.
