One thing I love is how it revealed how Namazu domestic servants work. They're acknowledged as terrible servants, since they're clumsy, lackadaisical, and not very bright. So instead of Namazu servants being highly prized at actually doing their jobs, they're a sort of status symbol. Having Namazu servants around is a sign of one's wealth and generosity, since it shows the home can afford (and are nice enough) to keep around servants that either don't help very much or actively make things worse. It's comical enough to fit the race, and fits into historical examples of keeping around 'exotic' servants or slaves as a sign of one's sophistication and wealth.
