The Latin name for the Great King Tiger Armor is Mantichora Scabra, where Mantichora means a human-headed sphinx-tailed monster. Chinese translated it, and his name was Mandiko.
See how the ancient Greeks described Mandiko:
Huge teeth stick out of its throat... The tail resembles a scorpion. It will seduce you with sweet singing, grab you and then devour you. - "The Properties of Things"
The fact that a beetle can have such a name (Mantichora Scabra) shows that the ancient people at that time were deeply impressed by its ferocious habits, and felt that this insect did not come from the human world but from the center of the earth.
