Is there the person knowing the origin of FLACK appearing in the tenth floor of wizardry#1?

This monster has ability of poison and the paralysis and the petrifaction and blows on a snowstorm and is an image same as BABBLY SLIME in the first appleII version.
From this thing, I suppose that it is JUIBLEX of AD&D1st.
Or will there be an origin for other Si-Fi novels or movies?

If I recall well at least one of the authors of Wizardry attended Cornell University so I found an explanation from a Japanese site that seems to connect all the dots:

Here is the Google translation:

Wizardry born in the United States has appeared a few unique monsters and items that are unknown to the Japanese origin, but the origin of the name of Flack flack appearing in the deepest layer of Scenario # 1 and 2 I found it now.

There was a famous poet (Cornell University) in the United States, Yves Meriam, but a passage called
"flick a flack fleck"
appears in one of the many poems she wrote, "weather ."
It is said that the sound of raindrops striking the surface of the window glass is expressed in an anomalous manner.

So, if you look at the flack visual in the apple II version of WIZ, the same graphic as bubbly slime etc. is addressed.

From these things, flack is a monster with a soft body such as slime, and it is guessed as it was named after the solution was scattered and thrown away to the adventurer, or that he was jumping from the adventurer's eye like a single drop of raindrops. To do.

By the way, in the D & D series that became the original draft of Wiz, a magical spirit like the slime parent ball that manipulates the magic of the freezing circle named Gauvillex juiblex has appeared, and the relationship with flack that exudes cold air breath is realized.

Actually,I wrote in the note of the search results before.(エイザムス=asamus)

On the other hand, soft body biology including Slime and Ooze and Blob comes up in various Si-Fi works.
Possibly I contributed it this time because I thought that creature of one's work not to know might be an origin of FLACK.
