"Belching" is slang for "vomiting" or "spitting", so "sandbelching" means "spitting sand". The word "Meerslug" might come from "{{w|Meerkat}}", and "{{w|slug}}". Its Japanese name is {{j|オオスナフラシ|Oo Suna Furashi}}. {{j|オオ|oo}} means "giant", {{j|スナ|suna}} means "sand", and {{j|フラシ|furashi}} means "rainer" (as in to cause something to rain down). Internally, it is called <code>arijigoku</code>, which means "antlion pit", referring to it causing pits to draw in Pikmin to eat. | "Belching" is slang for "vomiting" or "spitting", so "sandbelching" means "spitting sand".
