Trivia

• Teryx's name is derived from a shortening of Archeopteryx.
• According to Goldenheart388, Teryx's Hasslemon handle is diffidentDefeatist (DD). "Diffident" is a synonym for bashful or timid, referencing Teryx's shyness and panicky behavior in battle, whereas "defeatist" references both Teryx's pessimistic nature and his ability Defeatist.
• According to Goldenheart388, Teryx's English character theme is "Superman (It's Not Easy)" by Five for Fighting. The song serves as a reference to Teryx's willingness to, according to Goldenheart388, "not be seen as a burden, to be braver in the face of adversity, and the fact that, due to his ability Defeatist, it makes life for him all the harder". His Japanese character theme, meanwhile, is "Sign" by FLOW, the 6th opening to Naruto Shippudden.
• Teryx is the third and final member of the Jura6, after Stipax and Chasmo, to have a Five for Fighting song as his character theme, as well as the third team member overall.
• Originally, Teryx's "v= ovo" part of his typing quirk only applied to words containing "ov" in that order, such as "cover", "remove", and "above". Later on, however, it was expanded to include words containing "vo" (if the "vo" doesn't start a word), and then further expanded to affect all instances of the letter, primarily because it looked cuter to Goldenheart388 and partly so that the typing quirk would be able to show up more prominently if the lyrics of "Superman (It's Not Easy)" were written in it (i.e. "eovoen heroes haovoe the right to dream").
