Name
Whimsalot's name comes from Whimsun and Lancelot, the most famous knight of King Arthur's Round Table. Its name also may come from the fact that it "whims a lot".

Trivia

 * Whimsalot is part of the Reaper Bird, one of the Amalgamates.
 * Losing its mask when spared or killed may be a reference to the battles with Meta Knight from the Kirby series. When defeated, the character in question loses his mask, then disappears.
 * As well as Whimsun, Whimsalot has quotes and flavor text that may be interpreted as references to depression and suicide. Nightshade is a type of very poisonous plant, while bleach, normally used to wash white clothes, is ingested by people to end their days.
