The name "Fiery" is, of course, due to its ability to spit out fire. In Japan, it is known as the {{j|ブタドックリ|Buta Dokkuri}}, which translates to "Tokkuri Pig". "Pig" part comes from its body shape and the sounds it makes. Its scientific name is ''Sus draconus''; ''draconis'' is Latin for "dragon", once again referencing its ability to spit fire. Internally, the creature is called <code>tank</code> in all games; the reasoning behind this name is unknown. | The name "Fiery" is, of course, due to its ability to spit out fire.
