Swerls (Ankoknight in Japan) are a snail-like enemy in Densetsu no Starfy 4 and The Legendary Starfy. They apparently love to jump and stick to things, and for unknown reasons their shells are covered with paste.
Toy Description
"Swerl loves to jump and stick, stick and jump! See that ball on the top of his head? These guys run around with paste stuck to their heads! Nobody knows why..." (#005)
Name Origin
- English: Possibly a corruption of "swirl" for its spiral shaped shell
- Japanese: Possibly from 餡こ (あんこ/anko, red bean paste) and/or うんこ (unko, poo) for the paste stuck to their shells, and アンモナイト (ammonite). Its internal name romanisation uses "knight".
