Plasm Wraith: Difference between revisions

"Plasm" means "living substance" while "Wraith" means "spirit" (such as a ghost). The creature's Japanese name is {{j|アメニュウドウ|Ame Nyuudou}}, in which {{j|ニュウドウ|Nyuudou}} translates to "Monk", but {{j|アメ|Ame}} can either mean "rain" or "candy" (particularly, toffee). Both could refer to the creature's appearance, either during its humanoid phase or its [[Mysterious Life-Form|watery phase]]. It can also be noted that it always [[rain]]s during the Plasm Wraith's boss battle (provided that no exploits are used). {{j|アメ|ame}} can also be short for "amoeba" (written in katakana like "ameba"), a unicellular organism usually found in water. Finally, its name could also be an allusion to {{w|Wanyūdō}}, the guardian of the gates of Hell in Japanese mythology.

 

Internally, the creature is called <code>metaboss2</code>, which is a follow-up to the [[Mysterious Life-Form#Naming|internal name of the Mysterious Life-Form]]. The cubes it spits are called <code>metabuka</code>, where {{j|部下|buka}} means "subordinate".
