Hi
I don't know the meaning of reglet.
Please don't ask for the context because it's a comic. The chapter is about a "monster" capable of "eating" persons and having their memories and powers and make multiple copies of the different person. The chapter title is "Legion of the reglets".
I know what's legion, but reglets????
Thanks in advance

I might not be a lot of help on this one...

I hadn't heard the word before this, but according to wikipedia and a couple of sites, a reglet is a type of moulding as in moldadura. Possibly, a reglet is also a typeface/font measurement/size. Ok, so that doesn't help us much.

The remaining option is that it's a "made-up" word that the author created to describe these creatures. That's the most likely case here. If that is the case it makes me think of "little kings" "legion of little kings", since "reg" as a Latin prefix means "royal" or "king" and the suffix -let means small.

Let's see if any other literary experts want to voice their opinion.
