Background Information

At least two members of this species are known by an adjective followed by "Merp". It is unclear whether these are nicknames or a naming convention used by the species.

Merps are likely a reference to Smurfs, as they have similar naming conventions, are blue, and "Merp" is pronounced like "Smurf" without the 'S.
