NAME: Maneuray
PRONUNCIATION: Man-new-ray
ETYMOLOGY: (Manta Ray + Neuro) OR (Manta + Neuro + Ray)
INFORMATION: I think the reason I picked "Manta Ray" is fairly obvious, but I do feel I need to explain "Neuro". If you sent "Neuro" through a spellcheck you'll discover it's not a word, at least by itself. Many of you may recognize "Neuro" as being a prefix. "Neuro" comes from "Neuron" which is the name of nerve cells, cells which are electrically charged. BUT that's not my only reason why I chose "Nuero", as I said it's often used as a prefix and you may possibly know of one of the words its a prefix for: Neurotoxin. As the name implies, a neurotoxin is a chemical that negatively affects nervous cells and tissue. So I put the two together and viola, I got a name which describes what animal the Pokemon is based upon as well as reference to both of its types. (yes, I'll shorten this down for my Final Submission, just want to clearly state my thought process here in the planning stage)
