New Reaper name?!

[MGs551]

So I was a bit confused at first but the Scanner Room is now calling the Reaper Leviathan a Cheliceratops. Sounds weird but have you also noticed something like that?

Computers prefer using scientific classifications rather then common names.

no they just has same names

[Zemecon]

Cheli- = Gk. "Claw"
Cerat- = Gk. "Horn"
ops = Gk. "face"

So Cheliceratops is most likely the Reaper's binomial designation. Like most real-life creatures they also have a common name so there is no reason to feel like you need to refer to Reapers by that new name, in case you were wondering.

But here is one good reason why we shouldn't be using binomials anymore: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelicerata

^^^ We are starting to run out of ideas for new names.
