Origin
Its appearance is similar to most animals in the weasel family, resembling stoats in particular based on its lack of a tail and the fur on its upper body being significantly darker than that on its underbelly. Its appearance is also quite close to a paca, a South American rodent with a slender body, spotted skin and tiny ears.
Name origin
Quilava is a combination of quill (a needle-like hair) and lava (extrusive molten rock).
Magmarashi is a combination of magma and 山荒 yama-arashi (porcupine).
