The creature's English name is a combination of helicopter and proppeller, coming from the way it flies, with a propeller. It's Japanese name translates to "Stash Bug", coming from the way it stashes various objects, and it is very bug-like in appearence. The Dutch an Spanish names actually a play on the word {{w|kleptomania}}, a rare disorder that causes one a powerful urge to steal things; perfectly fitting the enemy's behavior. | |||
