References
- The name of this monster is a reference to the Dungeons & Dragons monster of the same name. Just as in Dungeons & Dragons, the monster is described as being ten feet by ten feet.
- The miss message about a "rube-ish cube" is a reference to the Rubik's Cube.
- The introductory haiku refers to the skateboarding movie "Gleaming the Cube."
