Her name derives from Ferdinand Magellan, the Portuguese explorer notable for his circumnavigation of the world, and the Magellanic penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus), the species named after the said explorer as well.
In her Shaved-Ice Memories outfit, Magallan notably changes her weapon and Soaring Dragons to something that appears to be fermented herring, or often known as Surströmming, which is (in)famous for its extremely pungent smell. Making this even more bewildering is the fact that it is a topping on a bowl of shaved ice like kakigōri.
Magallan has been a subject of several memes in the Arknights community:
There are jokes in which Skadi sees Magallan and Emperor as food, referring to the fact that orcas hunt penguins. This is also applied to Pudding as well.
In the CN community, Magallan's name becomes a joke by simply shifting it with any name that contains the character 麦 or 伦 such as "麦迪文 (the Hong Kong rendering of Matt Damon or the Warcraft character Medivh)," "哥伦布 (Christopher Columbus)," "麦当娜 (Madonna)," "周杰伦 (Jay Chou)" or even "麦当劳 (McDonald's)."
Magallan is the only Summoner Supporter whose summon is not ground-based, but instead she summons airborne drones.
