Apparite in Interlingua is the past participle of "apparer". Apparer in Interlingua means "to appear, show up".

Provoker's Japanese name is Pooka. Pooka is primarily a creature of Irish folklore. Considered to be bringers both of good and bad fortune, they could either help or hinder rural and marine communities. The creatures were said to be shape changers which could take the appearance of black horses, goats and rabbits.
