Cute line. Wish they weren't scrapped.
Without the context of a non-cut Pokemon like Karrablast, I can only so far when it comes to naming. Tani seems to mean some sort of gorge or mountain river. Not sure on anything except the last of the line, which literally has "King" in the name. I dunno Japanese that well, and someone better can try their own attempt to name them.
Physically, these guys resemble either conch snails, whelks, or cone snails.
Later in my research, I found that the culprit might be a species of land snails called Karaftohelix which may be found in the Kuril Islands, the same place where our wife can be found.
