When the writing is removed, the creature would be weakened, or even killed in some legends. Regice's face that consists of seven dots may be based on Braille alphabet which was necessary to use to encounter the legendary giants for the first time in Sealed Chamber. The geometrical shapes that make Regice's body resemble naturally occurring crystals.
The five legendary giants may be collectively themed after historical epochs, with Regice representing the Ice Age.
Name origin
Regice may be a combination of regis (Latin for royal) and ice.
