Name origin
The English name Gorebyss comes from gore and byss. Gore means 'to stab' and also 'blood' which refers to this Pokémon's behaviour in sucking the blood from its foes. Byss refers to the fibres which hold bivalve marine creatures to walls which is probably a reference to Gorebyss' pre-evolution Clamperl. 'Gorebyss' could possibly be a play on the English 'gorgeous' meaning 'beautiful'.
