==Nomenclature== | ==Nomenclature== | ||
The name {{Term|Series|Spiked Beetle}} refers to the enemy's spiny shell. The name may be derived from {{Smw|Buzzy Beetle}}s, another turtle-like enemy in the ''Mario'' series that are similar to Spinies, but without spiked shells. Their Japanese name, "Togezō", comes from the word {{Exp|棘|toge}}, meaning thorn. | The name {{Term|Series|Spiked Beetle}} refers to the enemy's spiny shell.
