Trivia

 * The name Rhasta is based on the Rastafarians, a follower of a religious movement in Jamaica known as Rastafari. In DotA, his hero model and dialogue had a strong Jamaican influence and style. But in Dota 2, his theme and style have undertaken a more Native American influence, mostly evident in his attire and accent.
 * Rhasta is also a Persian name and word that means "truth" or "path".
 * Rhasta's Immortal Head item, Lash of the Lizard Kin, may be a reference to Pollywog Priest, who is Heroes of Newerth's direct port of Shadow Shaman. The Pollywog Priest is a frog-themed hero who, just like Shadow Shaman with the immortal, uses its tongue for its equivalent ability of Shackles (named Tongue Tied), instead of a magical net.
 * Some of Rhasta's voice lines may suggest he is well versed in the art of augury, an ancient form of divining the future. In some cultures, it is believed that reading the entrails of ritual sacrifice victims could predict the future.
