Trivia
Origin
Binacle seems to be based on the goose barnacle due to their general shape and use of a connective "stalk" to cling to rocks. Considering it survives together with a second Binacle, it may possibly reference to the rarer, same species symbiosis. Considering its hand-like body, and its eyes within its "palms", Binacle may have also been based on the hamsa.
Name origin
Binacle may be a combination of bi- (meaning two) and barnacle.
Kametete may be a combination of 亀の手 kame no te (barnacle) and 手 te (hand).
