It's a slang word, and Sophodra despises it. Not only does it encapsulate vertebrates, but also some slugs and flying jellyfish that get about that size. (Macrovolutes and other arthropod demivolutes always get kaiju-sized, and so do most invertebrates, but there are some exceptions that get around human-sized.)

The term is a little like "bug," but honestly used a little more like the Japanese mushi. There is such a thing as a true bug (Hemiptera), but no such thing as a "true gub."

(also what color is he)

He's a modern bug! He was raised by his grandparents which is why he talks like he's a hundred million years old.

He's married to muse and is a researcher! He studies languages and knows quite a few! He actually knows quite a bit of roach, while not fluent, he is the foremost expert in bugaria.

When Kabbu and Vi go to snakemouth den, instead of getting trapped, they get chased out by the spider. Kabbu knows Leif, and that he's interested in roach stuff and mentioned what they discovered. Leif of course, like any sane person with a special interest, immediately demands that he come on their next incredibly dangerous excursion.
