==Trivia==
* El Condor’s design appears to draw inspiration from several South American cultures and mythologies:
:* The bird emblem on the upper half of its closed ball form resembles the famous Nazca Lines <ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazca_lines</ref> “El Condor” geoglyph, which may also be the source of its name.
:* The name ''El Condor'' is Spanish for “The Condor,” a vulture species native to the Andes and considered a national cultural symbol.
:* Its skeletal face and ornate body patterns resemble Mesoamerican crystal skulls<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_skull</ref>, often associated (incorrectly) with pre-Columbian artifacts.
:* El Condor’s tall, deity-like humanoid form may be influenced by Aztec or Mayan depictions of gods, especially those portrayed with large headdresses and symmetrical ornamentation.
:* The skull motif and decorative elements on its toy version have visual similarities to imagery associated with Santa Muerte<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Muerte</ref>, a Mexican folk figure frequently shown as an ornate skeletal figure.
* El Condor’s ball form is notable for featuring a complete, stylized symbol across the top, making it unusually detailed compared to most early Bakugan.
* In the anime, a short flute melody can be heard whenever El Condor stands.
