The hydroe family's name is a play on the {{w|Hydra}}, a mythical dragon with usually three heads. This is likely because when its only known member controls the [[Berserk Leech Hydroe]], it turns into a monster with three heads. It even grows wings in the third phase of its battle, making it very dragon-like. Additionally, it might be a play on {{w|hydrogen}}, referring to the creature's watery structure (water is composed of hydrogen).
The hydroe family's name is a play on the word "hydra", which may refer to both {{w|Hydra (genus)|a real world genus}} and a {{w|Lernaean Hydra|a mythical dragon with usually three heads}}.
