Trivia[]
- Pyrope's name can be seen as a portmanteau of pyro (Greek for fire) and rope. However, since pyrope (from the Greek words for fire and eye) is also the name of a dark red gemstone in real life, a variety of garnet, it is more likely that Pyrope's appearance is a play on its name rather than the other way around.
- Pyrope also shares a name with (and may be referencing) Terezi Pyrope from Homestuck, which is a webcomic that Toby Fox produced music for.
- Pyrope's name and appearance may also be a play on the term "rope burn".
- Pyrope is one of the few monsters who rewards more GOLD if the protagonist spares it instead of killing it.
- Pyrope is the only randomly encountered enemy that uses orange attacks.
- Though there is no limit to how many times the protagonist can select the Heat Up ACT, the screen will no longer become more distorted after selecting it enough times.
