Trivia

Origin

Kilowattrel may be based on a frigate bird. Like frigate birds, Kilowattrel has a hooked beak, angular wings and forked tail. Its large wingspan and size might also reference the fact that frigate birds have the largest wing area to body ratio of any bird. The throat sac of Kilowattrel also resembles the gular sac found on male frigate birds.

Name origin

Kilowattrel may derive from kilowatt and petrel. It may also derive from frigate-petrel - an alternative term used to refer to frigate birds.

Taikaiden may be a combination of 大 tai (large), 海 kai (sea) and 雷電 raiden (thunder and lightning).
