Trivia
Origin
Carracosta appears to draw inspiration from Archelon, the largest known species of sea turtle from the Late Cretaceous period. The fact it eats steel beams draws from the fact sea turtles are able to bend metal bars with their jaws.
Name origin
Carracosta is likely a portmanteau of the words carapace (a hard, protective covering, ie. a shell), and costa, meaning coast in Latin, Spanish and Portuguese, a reference to its habitat. "Carra" may also refer to the Carrara fossil formation, which contains numerous trilobite fossils.
Abagoura is most likely from 暴れる abareru, to trash or act violently, 肋 abara, rib cage, and 甲羅 kōra, shell.
