“So snail is katatsumuri,” Taylor muttered to himself. “Not sure how to get a name out of that. Oh, Kaigara is a surname. Maybe I can do something with that?”

After looking at vaguely relevant Japanese words for a while and not finding any inspiration, Taylor decided to branch out to other languages. Scrolling through a list of translations of the word “snail”, one word caught his eye.

“Halazuna,” he muttered to himself. “That sounds kinda nice. I guess ‘Harazuna’ kinda sounds like a plausible Japanese name. Maybe I could do something with that?”
