Bender is part of a Hookworm prophecy; The Salamander with the scar will... ...defeat the serpent in the battle for Eden... However, there's one problem; Bender has no scar. Eden is obviously referring to somewhere lovely, perhaps Mascot Land. The Serpent, however, is unknown. there are few snakes in Mascotia. perhaps Lil' Charlie? The jury is still out.
SPOILER ALERT![]
In Bender Beyond, Bender turns out to be the reincarnation of a great hero. With the help of the hero's sword, Bender slays the 8 guardians, Archelys, Avuthis, Spufo, Cahernoth, Befne, Edelon, Kecksi, and Seppen. The truth of the prophecy, however, is that its only fragmentary, as the gall stone-tablet that the hookworms wrote it on was fractured and lost. The Prophecy really goes: The Salamander with the scar will be reborn to defeat the 7 beasts, and then defeat the serpent in the battle for Eden's Destruction, and piece to Mascotia.
