Big fans of clean air and a fresh breeze, they are keen climbers, but don't care for Upover on account of its close climate. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Etymology
An embellishment of the basic "beakon" pun, referring to Belisha beacons - the illuminated orange globes at the top of the black-and-white striped poles marking zebra crossings in the United Kingdom.
The Japanese name of the monster, "Akairai", is a reference to the Achaierai monster from the Dungeons & Dragons franchise.
