Is there any reason why Darklight creatures drop Zao related equipments?

Question

It caught my attention that all Darklight creatures within the Rotten Blood Quest drop a Zao related equipment. Is there any reason for that? Does it have any lore related meaning to this? Perhaps just a coincidence?

Here are the creatures and their Zao equipment drop:

• Darklight Construct: Zaoan Shoes
• Darklight Striker: Zaoan Helmet
• Darklight Emitter: Zaoan Armor
• Darklight Source: Twiceslicer (not unique from Zao but also drop from Draken Elites and Paiz the Pauperizer)

Answer 1

Most likely this is a fluke. For example the Mean Lost Soul drops Warrior's Ax which is an item attached to the Sprite and Loot of the creature Deepling Warrior. If there is any deeper meaning to this it is likely that only Cipsoft knows the reason and meaning.

In the field of theories it is possible to think of many variables. For example "Rotten" could be a reference to Zao's "Corruption". Another reference to Zao is the Mycobiontic Beetle creature. This, for example, is part of the creature's official description: "Their exoskeletons glow with a strange iridescence, hinting at the corruption that permeates their bodies."

In any case, all this could be merely a coincidence and it is unlikely that we will have more specific information about it from Cipsoft, since they must consider it a trivial matter or of little relevance to be able to provide many details.

most of the loot that i have seen is related to a meaning, say for example the crown items in nightmare scion, the leather whip on vampire bride, etc i won't say cip does perfect but i think they take care of the lore part of their game so if all these mobs drop zao related stuff and there are lancer bettle corpses  it could indeed mean that is related to zao, the only thing that i hate from that new hunting place is that there aren't too many sources of information for low levels so if there's anything to be known in there, should be hidden inside the hunting grounds awaiting for any mysteriando to find it eventually, but this place, their lore, and the relation it could have mostly come related to something OR they relate it in further updates.
