"Crying Moon Rabbit":

This monster is based on the moon hare (in Japanese, the word 兎 (usagi) more likely refers to endemic hares than non-endemic rabbits). Japanese folklore imagines pareidoliac figures of hares pounding mochi on the moon.

The Japanese name, 月（つき）涙（なみ）の兎（うさぎ） (Tsukinami no Usagi), contains a minor pun on the words 月次 (tsukinami "every month" or "monthly," also "tritely mundane") and 涙 (namida "tear"). According to the flavor text, the hare is reminiscing about its good old mundane daily routines (ありふれた日常 arifureta nichijō).

"Ancient Turtle Protector" appears in this card's artwork (hidden behind the Level star on the physical card's artwork [1]).
