Simisear is based on a monkey and a flame, though its midsection’s pattern, cloud- or steam-like appendages and flame-like appendages make it similar in appearance to an active volcano. Simisear eating sweets for its fire within its body to burn could be based on the effects of carbohydrates giving energy for the body. It, along with its two contemporaries, seem to inspired by the three wise monkeys motif; with its large ears, Simisear represents “hear no evil”.
Simisear may be a combination of simian, sear, and ear. Ear may relate to the “three wise monkeys” motif of the elemental monkeys.
Baokkie may be a combination of 爆 bào (Chinese for burst/explode), バースト bāsuto (burst), and monkey. It may also involve けっき kekki (vigor).
