Trivia

Origin

Lampent is a combination of Hitodama (a blue, black, or purple-fire associated with ghosts and youkai, equivalent to the western will-o'-the-wisp) and an oil street lamp.

Name origin

Lampent may a combination of lamp and lambent (softly glowing, with connotations of otherworldliness) or repent (to feel sorrow or regret). It may also refer to lament (to feel sorrow or grief), a corruption of rampant (to be violent), bent (referring to Lampent's bent arms), or entity (based on Lampent's supernatural origins). It may also involve pent (to be trapped).

Lampler is derived from lamp.
