Trivia

  • In Generation 1, using the Goddess Morrighan Keyword on Aeira has her suggest that all three sister goddesses should have black crow wings. In spite of this, Macha has only been ever seen with red wings.
  • In Generation 3 Nele recites a song titled "Macha's Curse" when using the Macha the Goddess of Destruction Keyword that was said to have been her curse upon mankind for having been betrayed by her mortal lover.
    • "Macha's Curse" is a heavily edited version of the Morrighan's final prophetic poems in the real Cath Tánaiste Maige Tuired (The Second Battle of Mag Tuired).
      • "Macha's Curse" skips the first poem, where the Morrighan describes the events of the battle. The curse instead briefly summarizes the positive prophecy's second poem and then mostly focuses on the negative prophecy's third poem.
      • Despite their importance, the Morrighan's poems are often omitted from translated versions of the real-life Cath Tánaiste Maige Tuired.
  • Unlike her fellow deities, Macha does not use Demigod skills or have any form of attack; she only frequently Teleports and Summons Aonbharrs and Red Falias Floating Stones to attack instead.
    • Also, unlike her fellow deities, Macha has no animation for movement whatsoever.
  • Macha is one of two The Saga: Iria antagonists that has only engaged combat outside of a cutscene once, the other being Bhafel.
  • Macha's Battle Theme features a sound resembling an air-raid siren at the start, likely representing the danger she represents to Erinn.
