Origin/Name Origin
It seems to be based on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amargasaurus as that was a sauropod that had spines running down its neck like Amarusu has. Also the name Amarus just seems to be a contraction of Amaragasaurus. Zeb (talk) 09:00, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
- Completely agree with that. In Japanese, it becomes even more evident, as it's written as アマルガサウルス (AMARUgasauruSU).KurowaSan (talk) 03:15, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
- Now we now it's from the Sail Fossil, Amargasaurus should be under Origin too. In the link above the Amargasaurus was thought to have sails or spines - GF seemed to have gone with sails. Also the English name, Amaura, seems to contain aurora (look at the colours on the sails, it learns Aurora Beam and is an Ice-type).Zeb (talk) 13:58, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

- I'll get the name explanation in a bit. -- Nick15 (talk) 17:18, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah, if it isn't already obvious, it's just based on the Japanese name. -- Nick15 (talk) 17:52, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
