The family's name, 'polyocular slug', contains the prefix 'poly-', meaning 'multiple', and the word 'ocular', meaning 'eyepiece' or 'connected with eyes or vision'. These words together mean 'multiple eyes', which is in relation to the six eyes that the Bogswallow has. The second word, 'slug', is likely a reference to the [[meerslug family]]. | The family's name, 'polyocular slug', contains the prefix 'poly-', meaning 'multiple', and the word 'ocular', meaning 'eyepiece' or 'connected with eyes or vision'.
