|notes=Legend holds that as [[Rand the Unifier]] was celebrating the Unification of [[Overview|Mitralon]] and [[Overview|Katavyan]] under a single imperial banner, he hosted a fabulous costume ball. To signify this union, the King's costume was that of a great tree, with each of his fingers painted to resemble some of the fauna of both continents, in this case, a gigantic caterpillar on his right, and royal, thumb. A good-natured dispute arose as to the size of the actual caterpillar, which most felt was exaggerated. A live specimen was produced, settling the disagreement. The nickname 'Randshand' has been part of the caterpillar's nomenclature ever since. | |notes=Legend holds that as [[Rand the Unifier]] was celebrating the Unification of [[Overview|Mitralon]] and [[Overview|Katavyan]] under a single imperial banner, he hosted a fabulous costume ball.
