As expected of Saren's puchi.

"Chun"? Why is Suzume's puchi called "Chun"-chan? Is there some kinda Japanese wordplay I'm missing here?

'Suzume' also translates to 'sparrow' in Japanese, and they're known to make the 'chun-chun' chirping sound. Also, her puchi made that sound.
Therefore, Chun-chan!

I thought there was something I was missing. Thanks for clarifying.

Ahaaa. I didn't immediately get it either, but this make perfect sense now. Clever, abstract wordplay like this sometimes takes me a second and I didn't really have time to stew on it yesterday when I cranked the translation out before work. Thanks for enlightening!
