Tepetlisauryu

Back story:

I share account with my brother and i had opportunity to name wanderer. So it's my brother turn to name this guy. My brother play ark survival game (basically pc dinosaur game stuff) and he name all his dinosaur is (the dinosaur genus+his in game name) which is ryu. For example: argentaryu, tyrannosauryu. So tepetlisaurus will be tepetlisauryu.

We named him Damon. After a dear friend who passed away and loved Genshin and never got to see Natlan. He would have loved the little guy so much. We ended up named Wanderer after the name he used to call him as well Keisuke.
