• {{nihongo2|クリーチャーズ ...... 神の獣たち}} = Kurīchāzu: Kami no kemono-tachi = Creaturers.The colophon shows the short Japanese title {{nihongo2|クリーチャーズ}} (Kurīchāzu) alone. The subtitle {{nihongo2|神の獣たち}} (Kami no kemono-tachi) appears nowhere other than the title page. Creaturers [sic] appears on the front cover and title page and also in the list of exhibitions. It appears to be a mistake, because (if it rhymed with "treasurers"), "creaturers" would have different katakana (most likely {{nihongo2|クリーチュラーズ}}); as it is, the pronunciation of the Japanese title matches that of "creatures".
