Trivia
Origin
Nacli is based on a rock salt crystal embedded in a small sedimentary rock.[3] Its body shape resembles mushrooms, particularly those of the Agaricus bisporus variety. Considering that it originated underground, it might also draw inspiration from truffles. Additionally, its mushroom shape may be a reference to mushroom rocks, which are naturally occurring rock formations.
The scraping of its body along the ground leaving salt trails might be a literal interpretation of salt roads, trade routes upon which salt was transported to foreign markets. Its glowing eyes may be based on Himalayan salt lamps.
Name origin
Nacli may be a combination of NaCl (chemical formula for sodium chloride; table salt) and little or salty. The -i at the end of its name may also refer to iodine, a common element added to salt to prevent iodine deficiency.
Kojio may be a combination of 小 ko (small) or 子 ko (child), 塩 shio (salt), and geo- (prefix for earth).
