    Pretty sure that this is supposed to alude to chiggers, a type of mite.

    FFXI had "Chigoe", for the same reason.

    Buoyant Oviform. You have Eorzean Scholars to blame for that.

    Buoyant Oviform (something that has buoyancy + ovi (Latin word for egg) form). Very interesting the lengths they go to in order to make these names.

    I always thought it was funny, the mob Pugil. When I am grouped with a PGL I ask them if they are related.

    I think throughout the course of Final Fantasy (and some other RPGs), the creators love to use European terminology for a lot of stuff. For instance, when I used to play Breath of Fire 3 and 4, I thought "Kaiser" was exclusive to that game alone. It wasn't until later I learned that a Kaiser is simply a European emperor or king. They could have called it the Mikado Dragon and had the same effect. I know in FF9, the main character's name (Zidane) is actually common in Europe, and there's a famous soccer player with that name.

    I love to geek out over naming schemes, they're so fun.
