@Dracosaurian; No. That's just the westernised/romanised name. As "Goa" is probably pronounced "Gowa", all in one (I tend to say "Go-A"), it comes out as "Gore". As for "Magala", that's because Japanese R's are usually English L's.

Ragiakurusu = Lagiacrus.

Magara = Magala.

They did the same stuff for Zinogre, too. Probably something to do with Japanese fans and names in English, maybe it's easier to print than katakana/hiragana/kanji/whatever.
