The article currently states that the Japanese name probably puns off of ''Gojira'' (Godzilla), but that didn't seem right, so I looked up "Godzilla Squid Monster," and found [http://godzilla.wikia.com/wiki/Gezora this]. Not only is it a closer species, but the name is structured more similarly (think "Octopus-ora" vs "Squid arm-ora;" both "Tako" and "Gesso" go into "ora" better). The problem, however, is that this creature is obscure enough not to warrant an actual Wikipedia page, so that brings down the likelihood a bit. Thoughts?
