Trivia

Origin

It appears to draw much of its inspiration from a rhinoceros, aspects of various dinosaurs (such as the triceratops) and a tank.

Name origin

Dosydon's name is deceptively complex. The Do part that is at the begining may be from the word 土 do, which is Japanese for ground/soil, or 怒 do, which means anger, or ど do, the Japanese prefix that makes a noun sound stronger; サイ sai, Japanese for rhinocerous; and don, a Latin word meaning tooth, commonly used in the names of dinosaurs.

Rhyperior comes from the "Rhy" of its pre-evolutions and "superior"
