Etymology
"Gil Turtle" (ギルガメ, Giru-game?) is a spoof of zeni-game which literally means "money turtle," usually refers to the cub of pond turtle. Gil replaces the "zeni" in the name of the animal because it is the currency in the Final Fantasy series. The name doubles as a play on Gilgamesh (ギルガメッシュ, Girugamesshu?), which starts with the same four syllables.
