Etymology[edit]
Sear's Japanese name onibi (おにび) refers to an atmospheric ghost light in Japanese legends and mythology. They are said to be the spirits of the corpses of humans and animals. Occasionally, they are also stated to be a manifestation of the resentful who became fire and appeared. The word onibi is often translated to English as "will-o'-the-wisp" or "jack-o'-lantern".
