The word "Vehemoth" is likely a portmanteau of "vehement", which means to exaggerate, referencing the boss' wide variety of colors and bizarre facial expression, and "behemoth", which means enormous, referencing the boss' size. "Vehemoth" also contains the word "{{w|moth}}", referring to how the boss looks like one. In Japan, it is known as {{j|オオバケカガミ|Oo Bake Kagami}}, or "Giant Transforming Mirror". Its internal name, <code>ohbakekagami</code> matches its Japanese name. | The word "Vehemoth" is likely a portmanteau of "vehement", which means to exaggerate, referencing the boss' wide variety of colors and bizarre facial expression, and "behemoth", which means enormous, referencing the boss' size.
