Trivia

Origin

Minccino is based on a chinchilla. Its tail may be based on feather dusters or brooms, as they use their tails to clean their dens.

Name origin

Minccino may be a portmanteau of mini, referring to its minature size, or mink, an animal known for its fur and its use in women's clothing, and chino cloth.

Chillarmy is derived from chinchilla and charm.
