Trivia
Origin
Fuecoco appears to be based on a baby crocodile, although it has some similarities to theropod dinosaurs. The two tufts on its head and its overall body shape together makes it resemble an apple or a chili pepper.
Name origin
Fuecoco may be a combination of fuego (Spanish for fire) and cocodrilo (Spanish for crocodile).
Hogēta may be a combination of 火 ho (fire), ほげー hogē (onomatopoeia for being dumbfounded), and gator.
