ParanoidObsessive posted... Zeus posted... Venu = ....ummm, idk, but probably not Venus + saur = latin for lizard Venus Fly Trap. Plus, the -saur is probably just a reference to dinosaurs. Dinosaur in Latin means "Terrible Lizard." While it's probably where they got the idea, it's worth remembering that they incorporated only the "lizard" half of the word. Granted, physiologically-speaking, a Venusaur would almost certainly be a reptile rather than a dinosaur given its hip joints and the fact it's powered by the sun (a close parallel would be a dimetrodon, whose sail took in the sun's rays to heat up its body). faramir77 posted... Zeus posted... Ekans is snake spelled backwards! Snake backwards! (And Arbok is Kobra backwards, which is stupid since it should be Cobra and Arboc) What about Muk? Kek. Very good.
