(portmanteau of "meteor" and "iya", the latter of which is Japanese for "no" or "bad") "iie" is actually "no" in Japanese... the main monsters are usually portmanteaus of Japanese words, aren't they btw? You might be right; I'm far from fluent in Japanese. However, I thought that "iie" and "iya" both meant "no"; "iie" was just a more formal way of saying it. I am sure that "iya na" means "bad" (e.g. "iya na otenki" means "bad weather", and "sore wa iya da" means "that's bad"). That would mean that Metiya would still work as a monster name.
