"Aero" refers to the air or sky in Latin, and the adult form, the Vehemoth Phosbat, is seen to be able to fly. "Dentia" is related to teeth, possibly pointing out the adult Phosbat's teeth, and the young Phosbat's fangs. | |||
''Tectu'' itself doesn't have a Latin meaning, but its closest word, ''tectum'', means shelter. This could point to how the aerodentia family live in dark caves, which shelter them from the sun. ''Pervus'' also lacks a meaning, but may be based on the verb ''pervolo'', meaning "to fly through". | |||
All in all, the genus ''Tectupervus'' might mean sheltered flier. The family name "aerodentia" could mean "toothed flier". | |||
