With the 2015 localization of the smart phone version of ''DQII'', the Mean spirit's name was changed to that of '''Sekerleton'''. This lead to confusion, as the name had already been applied to the [[Sekerleton (Dragon Quest IV|skeleton]] in the first Zenithian game. The error arose because the two monsters share the same name in Japanese, being '''しにがみ''', and the team that was assigned to localize ''DQII'' did not notice that the group which adapted ''DQIX'' foresaw this issue and averted it ahead of time. | With the 2015 localization of the smart phone version of ''DQII'', the Mean spirit's name was changed to that of '''Sekerleton'''.

Curiously, the friendly version of the enemy encountered in the game's final chapter is still referred to as a Mean Spirit. | ||
