Etymology
The Dream Eater's name uses the Japanese word for "bear" (熊), which its English name spells phonetically.

When Riku and Joshua arrive at the Second District, Beat appears and claims that after defeating Joshua, he and Rhyme would be able to go back to where they belong, and despite being warned by him, Beat summons a Kooma Panda to fight Joshua. Although, the Spirit, alongside several Nightmares, attacks Riku instead.
