Mitite: Difference between revisions

The name "Mitite" is a play on the [[wikipedia:Mite|mite]], a small parasitic insect in the real world (although the enemy has five legs instead of the mite's eight). In Japan, it is called {{j|タマゴムシ|Tamago Mushi}}, which merely translates to "Egg Insect". Its scientific name is ''mitivius infiltratus'', in which ''mitivius'' seems made up, and ''infiltratus'' is similar to "infiltrate". It fits, as the creature infiltrates eggs to lay its own. Internally, this insect is called <code>tamagomushi</code>, the same as its Japanese name.
