Prismantus Japanese name comes from the fact that it makess a booming noise when it moves.<ref>{{Cite person|quote= [...]but then we realised that the "Cyclops" also makes a booming noise when it moves, and we thought that the name "Dum-Dum" would probably fit it better.|name= Mikiharu Oiwa|url= https://miiverse.nintendo.net/replies/AYMHAAACAAADVHkosKaUUA|title= Tri Force Heroes Miiting part 2}}</ref> This was the original Japanese name of [[Gigaleon]], but was changed as it fitted Prismantus better.<ref>{{Cite person|quote= It's the mid-boss of the Sky Realm, which is called "Gigaleon" in the retail version.
