Etymology

His name follows the typical naming Scheme of the Shifters, being a word plus an extra sound. In this case Mosu ("モス") + Bii ("ビー"). "Mosu" means "moss" and is likely a reference to his appearance, as he resembles a mossball with elephant features sticking out of it. His name could also be a play on words because "ビー" may come from the Japanese word for "beam" ("ビーム)". His name literally means "Moss Beam".

His appearance in the anime in Russia, could also be a reference to "モスクワ", the Japanese way of writing the city name of "Moscow".
