-Something that is "shaggy" has a lot of long hair. Its Japanese common name comes from {{j|毛玉|kedama|hairball|f=tp}} and {{j|くも|kumo|spider|f=tp}} making it the hair ball spider. However it's also a joke on the [[Beady Long Legs]] which is called {{j|ダマグモ|Dama Gumo|Orb Spider|f=tp}} but starting with {{j|ケ|ke|hair|f=tp}}, making it {{j|ケダマグモ|Ke Dama Gumo|Hairy Orb Spider|f=tp}}. This creature shares its internal name with the internal name of the Beady Long Legs in the past games, <code>damagumo</code>.

+Its scientific name is ''Pseudoarachnia capillum'', with ''capillum'' being derived from "capillus", which is Latin for "hair". This is, once again, in reference to its long hair.
