Conceptualization and Origin

 * The trauben fruit's name may be derived from the German word for "grapes", with the fruit being consistently portrayed as grapes; Elphegort, the fruit's native country, is fittingly inspired by Germany.
 * The Green Onion and its first usage in the novels by Michaela may be a reference to Hatsune Miku's character item, the green onion.
 * The ziz tiama is also referred to as aotako (アオタコ), which translates to "blue octopus", possibly alluding to its blue color.
 * The Rollam bird's name, "Rollam" (ローラム), is likely a reference to the road roller (ロードローラー), a vehicle often associated with the Kagamine twins.
 * The Nechuha tree's characters, when reversed, forms ハチュネ (hachune), likely a reference to Hachune Miku; the Clockworker's Doll, which is made from Nechuha wood, is fittingly represented by Hatsune Miku.
 * The pome fruit's name may be derived the French word pomme, meaning "apple".

Curiosities

 * The ziz tiama shares its name with the Ziz, a giant griffin-like bird in Jewish mythology; it is unknown if there is a connection between the two.
 * In Epic of Evil: The Daughter of Evil Fanbook, the Trauben Fruit was voted as the twenty-sixth most popular character in The Daughter of Evil series by Japanese fans, along with Abyss I.R., Shaw Freesis, Mikina Freesis, Eve Moonlit, and Sateriasis Venomania.
