Zweilous's name is possibly derived from ''zwei'', meaning two in German, and ''jealous'', as the heads are always fighting each other for food. ''Zweilous'' is also phonetically similar to the term ''zealous'', which reflects Zweilous's voracious appetite and intensely competitive nature. | Zweilous's name is possibly derived from ''zwei'', meaning two in German, and ''jealous'', as the heads are always fighting each other for food.

Jiheddo's name is probably derived from 二 ''ji'', meaning two, and ''head'', literally reading as ''"two heads"''. "Ji" is also how the greek prefix "di" (two) is pronounced in Japanese, in words such as "dioxane" (''jiokisan''). | ||
