⚠️ SPOILER ALERT

The inspiration for the name "" are 2 Persian language words:

"sabz", and
• "sabi".

The Persian language word "sabz" means green.

The Persian language word "sabzi" is the name of a food — which continues the pun of naming things after food.

An inspiration for the lineage from includes:

the green sea slug (also known as eastern emerald elysia, and elysia chlorotica),
• the leaf slug (also known as leaf sheep, and costasiella kuroshimae), and
• the solar-powered sea slug (also known as sacoglossan, and sacoglossa).

All of these slugs use chloroplasts that they take from algae that they eat. This enables all of these slugs perform photosynthesis. The "food" for organisms that perform photosynthesis! is water.
