 ===Origin===
-Tyranitar is based on a meat-eating {{wp|therapod}} dinosaur, such as the ''{{wp|Tyrannosaurus}}''. Its penchant for shattering the countryside is similar to that of the {{wp|Tarasque}}.
+Tyranitar seems to be based on {{wp|Godzilla}}, a {{wp|kaiju}} known for its strength, tough skin and capable of shooting a beam from its mouth. Godzilla itself was designed by combining three dinosaurs: ''{{wp|Iguanodon}}'', ''{{wp|Stegosaurus}}'' and ''{{wp|Tyrannosaurus}}''.
 ====Name origin====
-Tyranitar is derived from ''tyrannize'' (to violently antagonize), or ''{{wp|Tyrannosauroidea|Tyrannosaurus}}'' (derived from the same root).
+Tyranitar is derived from ''tyrant'' or ''{{wp|Tyrannosauroidea|Tyrannosaurus}}'' (derived from the same root).
 Bangiras may be a combination of 野蛮 ''yaban'' (savage) or 蛮 ''ban'' (barbarian) and 嫌い ''kirai'' (hate). ''Giras'' may derive from ''Gojira'', the Japanese name for the character {{wp|Godzilla}}, or ''Angiras'', the Japanese name for the character {{wp|Anguirus}}. Both are dinosaur-like ''{{wp|tokusatsu}}'' movie monsters that share some characteristics with Tyranitar.
