One prevailing theory on the word is that it is a portmanteau of ''cell'' and ''alien'', owing to their typically amorphous, cell-like appearance and otherworldly, invasive character.

Although it is understood that they are born from Sandstar coming into contact with inorganic matter, the details of Ceruleans' origins aren't fully understood. They were discovered at approximately the same time as the Friends themselves and much of what is known about them comes from research conducted on specimens captured early in their developmental stages.
Ceruleans were present early in Japari Park's history, but were considered a only minor threat to the staff, Friends and park facilities. Early reports equate them to "vermin", but (correctly) make the assessment that larger specimens, which were at that point rarely seen, could pose a much more significant danger.

In the anime, a Cerulean is usually defeated by striking an exposed stone somewhere on its body, at which point it bursts into blocks as usual. It can be assumed that the reason they burst into these cube-shaped fragments is because of the "LEGO block"-esque composition of their bodies.
