Medias Moritake (守武メリヤス/Moritake Meriyasu)is the stage 2 boss of the pagoda route. They was an Emperor Penguin In Mugenri To Command Humans From Now On. Medias was a soldier prior to arriving in Devanagara, although it is unclear what organization they were a part of.
Concept[]
Medias is a serious and diligent soldier who tries to act mature most of the time. However, their animal instinct shows through when someone mentions fish and do not take kindly when people refer to them as a pet.}
Etymology[]
Their full name is Medias Moritake (守武 メリヤス). Their first name Medias (メリヤス) is a kind of knitted fabric made from a technique similar to the stockinette stitch, which came from Spain and Portugal. In spanish, their name means "socks".
Their surname Moritake (守武) can be read as "Shou Wu" in Chinese, with the first character Shou (守) translating to "Keep" and the second Wu (武) translating to "Military", fitting with the fact that they are a member of an army. They got their surname after they were noticed by the emperor.
Though the names of many Len'en characters can be linked to various bird species, Medias' name notably contains no such references, despite being a bird youkai themselves; This is explained by JynX that Medias, as a penguin youkai, is merely a flightless bird, and therefore does not have as much significance as those who have a Bird's Name.
In the music section of the demo version, the katakana for their first name was written as "メディアス", which appears more fitting for their English name.
According to JynX, "Medias" is written as "莫大小" in Chinese. 莫大小, while not a traditional Chinese vocabulary, is a word borrowed from the Japanese to refer to the same kind of knitted fabric.
