## Trivia

* Oberon (also spelled Auberon) is classically portrayed as a king of the fairies in medieval and Renaissance literature. He is best known as a character in William Shakespeare's play *A Midsummer Night's Dream*, in which he is Consort to Titania, Queen of the Fairies.
	+ As of The Silver Grove update, Oberon's Renaissance bride Titania has been made into a playable Warframe.
* Oberon used to share his name with a mission node on Uranus, which in astronomy corresponded to one of Uranus' moons — Titania follows this same trend.
* Developer Digital Extremes has described Oberon's ability design as based around the idea of a Paladin or Druid.
	+ Oberon was first constructed under the name Paladin. *(internally, Lotus/StoreItems/Powersuits/Paladin)*
* In its first conception, Oberon's Hallowed Ground ability was called "Stairway to Heaven".
* Oberon's visual design is likely modeled after the white stag, a rare, pale-pelted deer that plays a mythological role in many cultures.
	+ In Arthurian legend, the white stag was said to be nearly impossible to capture and seeing a white stag was an omen that it was time for the knights of the kingdom to pursue a quest.
	+ Oberon bears the white stag's likeness with his pale coat, antlered default helmet, and cervine hooves.
* Oberon's close ties to the ไฟล์:Madurai Pol.svg Madurai polarity — a sharp, sweeping symbol linked primarily to damage mods — reinforce his theme as a zealous warrior.
* ไฟล์:BPDrop.png  Previously, Oberon's blueprints were obtained in the Everest, Earth assassination mission by the old model of Councillor Vay Hek. (This changed in Update 13.0 (2014-04-09) by which the blueprints are now dropped by Eximus units in any mission they appear.)
	+ This marked Oberon as the second Warframe to have replaced a previous Warframe from a boss mission, preceded by Valkyr having replaced Volt.
* Compared to the construction materials of other Warframes, which are often similar, Oberon's assembly is the only one requiring two Orokin Cells and two Gallium.
	+ He is also one of four Warframes to not use Neural Sensors in construction (the others being Zephyr, Atlas, and Mirage).
* Oberon is one of the only 3 Warframes whose component blueprints are dropped from non-boss enemies.
	+ The other two are Ash and Harrow.
* Oberon shares a similar physical build with Nekros, having slender arms and legs in comparison to most male Warframes.
* Oberon has two separate idle animations for primary weapons.
* Oberon is the 3rd tallest frame, surpassed only by Limbo and Chroma.
* The curving spikes on Oberon's shoulders are considered customizable Armor parts; equipping alternative arm plates will replace them.
	+ Oberon shares this characteristic with Volt, Banshee, and Frost.
* Prior to Update 29.10 (2021-03-19), Oberon's component blueprints dropped from Eximus enemies.
