>based on Fafnir

That's fucking amazing. I named my zard X fafnir, it's a really brutal sounding name. Not to mention its fantastic lore.

>UHF

Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to merge an abbreviation with a name, not to mention leaving the capitals in

Not to mention Chinese (even though the Chinese names are literally "suction cup clown" for Cantonese and "suction cup magical puppet" for Mandarin).

It's Talon+INflame, not just mashing up Talon+Flame. Although they still could've come up with a better name.

Are you retarded. Are you actually retarded. I'm angry at you for making the dumbass thought that "Talonflame" is composed of the words TALON and INFLAME.

What the fuck is wrong with you.

Not necessarily « lévitation », but « léviathan » with -or like in Terminator, since Gyarados is a fucking unstoppable death machine (lore-wise).

Pyro+peregrine. Talonflame is in part based on a peregrine falcon anyway
Just because you don't know what a peregrine is doesn't mean it's an opaque name
