#i actually thought about a similar topic before

I headcanon that Edison was summoned with the lion’s head because of Helena.

The Yagas and the Oprichniki, Ivan, Koyanskaya, Dobrynya, Viy looking like a weird rabbit… See the pattern here? Yep, the rest of the Russians are all furries associated with animals in some way, but Helena is an odd one out. Even Zouken is connected to bugs! So, it only makes sense that it was totally because of Helena being summoned in America that Edison ended up with the head of the most famous American lion.
