Glycina /

Name Romanization: GU RI SHI NA

Name Origin: The word "glycine" in Japanese is "gurishin" and so the name "gurishina" must be "Glycina." The words, incidentally, are derived from the Greek "glykeros" which means "sweet." The word "glycina" is part of the name "Glycina max" which is the binomial nomenclature of a variety of soybean. Different types of food derived from soybeans enjoy much popularity in Japan; tofu is by far the most famous of the soybean products.

DESCRIPTION: Glycina is the name of the monster with the green legs that grows from the pink flower near the beginning of the movie.
