-The RedSting can be found in the [[Mardra]] region in the past, the [[Basin Cave]], and the [[Lefa Fane]] in the past. It is also one of the possible forms that a [[WonderEgg]] will become when hatched.
+==Etymology==
+Pterygotus is a genus of sea scorpions that lived in the Devonian Period in the Paleozoic Era which lasted from 416 million to 359 million years ago.
+==Trivia==
+It is unknown why that Pteryogtus's remake sprite is red instead of the artwork's green, but it is possible that [[ArtePiazza]] simply recycled the Scarlet Scorpion sprite for convenience.
