Trivia

• Chasmo's name is derived from Chasmosaurus, one of the ceratopsians that Bastiodon is based on. It is also potentially derived from "chasm", referencing Chasmo's Egg move Fissure.
• According to Goldenheart388, Chasmo's Hasslemon handle is reliableBastille (RB). The handle falls into the same category as Freddie's and Elton's, where the handle serves as a description of Chasmo's personality; the word "bastille" is part of Bastiodon's name origin and serves as the name of the famous French fortress that was demolished on July 14.
• According to Goldenheart388, Chasmo's English character theme is "100 Years" by Five for Fighting, arguably their most famous song. The song, according to Goldenheart388, is supposed to be Chasmo reflecting back on his life before he became a Fossil and was revived by Owen, which he does extremely often, while the chorus is a reflection of his anti-nihilistic view on life. His Japanese character theme, meanwhile, is "Boku wa Koko ni Iru", which is Alphonse Elric's image song from the original version of Fullmetal Alchemist.
• Chasmo is the second member of the Jura6, after Stipax, to have his character theme be a Five for Fighting song, as well as the second member of Owen's team overall to have a Five for Fighting song as his character theme.
• Chasmo is the first character that Goldenheart388 has written for who knows a one-hit knockout move to have said one-hit knockout move as an Egg move (both Peechee and Dio learned Guillotine via level-up).
