Name origin
I think the "Torra-" in Torracat comes from "tora" ( 虎 ), the Japanese word for "tiger", as it's feline and has stripes all over. Nyahiito may derive from "nya", the onomatopoeic Japanese "meow" (also derives from Litten's Japanese name "Nyabbi"), "hi" ( 火 ), Japanese for "fire", and the English word "heat".
