Now I just found two interesting things.

1. Dark Sun is a concept in Mexican myth, and it seems to involve this black sun as a feminine entity. Perhaps, since his headpiece says he adores the sun, that he is a sun god whose link to moonlight is so strong that his light is darkened. You could think of him as a being of sunlight, but reflected off the moon: moonlight.

2. Dark Moon is the phase right before and right after a new moon. During a dark moon, the moon is invisible in the morning sky. Though I do not know how that relates to Gwyndolin, I found that the dark moon is sometimes considred a psychic fuel for women, and that a "dark moon" for humans is a stage of agnst and melencholy associated with greif. He is described by a ring in the third game to act like "a sullen brooding goddess" due to the moon energy.

But I like the idea of the eclipse, because it is interesting that there does not seem to be a time in which he directly identifies as female, so he could simply have the feminine biology. With this, he apparently knows his apperance, meaning his tentacles are common knowledge, so they are indeed part of his deific physiology.
