Etymology[]
"Flippit" is derived from flip it.
"Wendelin" is a given name, as well as a play on the word wenden (to flip over).
"Tornalmohado" is a combination of "tornar" (turn down) and "almohado", a corruption of "almohada" (pillow).
"Rovinasonno" is an union of "rovinare", (to ruin) and "sonno" (sleep).
Origin[]
Flippit is based on the makura-gaeshi, meaning "pillow flipper." They are youkai related to the zashiki-warashi (see Gnomey#Origin) who appear as children dressed like a Niō, a monk or a samurai. They haunt bedrooms and appear late at night, shifting pillows while people are asleep so that they will find them at their feet upon waking up or in other bizarre locations. They are normally harmless pranksters, but some sources attribute other abilities to them. These abilities include flipping people instead of pillows, tossing them around the room with the whole futon, or causing sleep paralysis. They are sometimes born from the ghost of someone who was killed in the very room they haunt.
