Interview with Game Freak in London by Bisafans (Page 1) (German) Ken Sugimori further clarified this in an interview with Nintendo Dream, stating that Haxorus was designed while was still in development, at a time when the development of Pokémon Black and White had barely even started, by a newly-hired female designer. Haxorus's pre-evolved forms were designed later, based on its design.Nintendo Dream Vol. 204, April 2011 (Shellspider's blog (Japanese), Translation by Dr. Lava)
===Origin===
Haxorus is based on dinosaurs. The design came from the idea of a Pokémon that swings its axe-like fangs to attack instead of biting, a behavior reportedly stemming from actual dinosaurs. The specific dinosaur may be the , a dinosaur from the early Jurassic period, named for its unique teeth that protrude from its mouth, much like Haxorus. Haxorus's tusks in particular resemble blades.
====Name origin====
Haxorus may be a combination of hack (to chop or cut down), axe, -saurus (common suffix in names of dinosaurs and extinct reptiles derived from the Ancient Greek word for lizard), and possibly hazardous.
Ononokus may be a combination of 斧 ono (axe), 戦く ononoku (to tremble), アックス akkusu (axe), and possibly -onychus (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for claw).
