Regarding your last post: I thought the name “Murkrow” was derived from “murky” and “crow”, not “murder” and “crow”. Murky as in dark, yeah.

Pokémon researchers are admittedly no strangers to the abuse of puns in their naming schemes, and frequently, a pokémon’s name will have not one but multiple etymological origins. “Murky” and “murder” are both listed as the possible origins for the “mur” part of “murkrow,” and to be quite honest, both are equally fitting for such a … fascinating specimen, to say the least.
