Origin
Morgrem's name implies it is based on gremlins, with potential inspiration from other malevolent fairy-like creatures from European folklore, such as goblins and boggarts. It also shares similarities with the redcap, a murderous goblin from English legend that carries a pike staff, which Morgrem's hair seems to be shaped like.
Name origin
Morgrem may be a combination of morbid or morgue, and gremlin. It may also come from grem, an old English and old German word for "to anger or to enrage". It may also come from Morgan le Fay, a witch from the King Arthur mythology.
Gimō may be a combination of 欺罔 gimō (deception), 毛 mō (hair, fur), and demon.
