........

The impression I got from the volume 1 commentary was that the King Taijitu was created when they were like


 * How about a snake Grimm?


 * Yeah, sure, and let's give it two heads, since there are two-headed snakes.


 * Grimm have a color theme of black, white, red, and sometimes a little yellow (They said this in the commentary), so we'll make it black and white with red eyes and red markings on the mask pieces.


 * Hey, there's a type of King Snake that's black and white!


 * Perfect! And Taijitu is the word for the YinYang symbol! (Literally, they said that's the origin of the King Taijitu's name. It's just King Snake + Taijitu.)


 * I guess we'll put the second head where its tail should be, then? That'll be really YinYang-like, eh?

Basically, the King Taijitu is just based on... a snake.
