Trivia
Origin
Barbaracle seems to be based on the goose barnacle, due to their general shape and use of a connective "stalk" to cling to rocks. Considering one "main" Barbaracle survives together with others, it may possibly reference to the rarer, same species symbiosis, in particular conjunctive symbiosis due to their fusion into a single body. Considering its hand-like limbs and bodies, and its eyes within its many hands's "palms", it may have also been based on the hamsa. Its limbs having minds of their own may be a reference to alien hand syndrome.
Name origin
Barbaracle may be a combination of barbarian and barnacle.
Gamenodesu may be a combination of 亀の手 kame no te (barnacle) and death.
