Those aren't Japanese words. They'd be Nezumi, Kamakiri and Tokage. The names being used have no specific clear meaning, which is the conundrum.

A weird thing I can point out is that the Progrise Key the mantis kaijin uses appears to have its name printed on it in lieu of a key name (like Rising Hopper, Flying Galcon etc.) It's not the clearest image but it looks like it could be "Berotha Magia." "Berotha" does have a meaning, it's an insect genus, but one that has nothing to do with mantises from what little I can find. So I don't know what's up with that.
