Did you know?
- Many Chinese players use the term 内鬼 'inner ghost' to describe the 'imposter' role that leads to the use of 阿莫格斯.
- Because the phrase is a phonetic loanword, many Chinese internet users will use it in a completely different context than the game, often to describe any 'suspicious' or 'untrustworthy' person in a joking way.
- The term 阿莫格斯 is rarely used in spoken conversation and exists almost exclusively in digital spaces like Bilibili or Weibo.
