Yeah I agree too, all of Raizekusu's names are pretty stupid. "Astralos" sounds like "astral" which has nothing to do with electricity, "Asta" is spanish for "horn", Fulgalos sounds like "Fulgurbug" (cuz he's an oversized fulgurbug amirite? xd) and Nitralos sounds like "Nitro" which again has absolutely nothing to do with electricity. Also the reasoning for the -Los suffix is dumb as hell, Seregios was the original Rathalos rival and they still gave it a decent name, like there's no reason to just go with "Cortalos" for it. Why Astalos then?>While the monster’s wings do resemble that of an insect’s, we didn’t want to focus on that in the localized name. Just the wings? Yeah, let's just forget Raizek is based on insects from (literally) head to toe. > insects have the connotation of being small pests that can easily be swatted away. Yeah, let's also forget 4th gen is notorious for introducing many insect bosses. And also *gasp* -Do I dare say?- Gore Magala was very insect-like as well. Yeah, small easy pests indeed. Better just take Rathalos and change two letters, that's much better.

Now on the other side, I really like the name Larinoth. Anything based on ocarinas is awesome on my book. Because, y'know, Zelda. And it's an original name with the classic MH feel, not to mention it also sounds pretty good.
