*In the Rosharan ecosystem, minks tend to scavenge and skulk in the shadows,{{book ref|sa1|3}}{{book ref|sa4|i|5}} and they are colloquially used as a metaphor for sneaky or secretive people.{{book ref|sa3|10}} In the game of [[pieces]], the player who takes the role of the mink controls hidden information that the other players cannot see.{{book ref|sa3|40}} This cultural view of minks is presumably the source of Dieno's nickname, although this has not been explicitly confirmed.
