Name Origin
The original Japanese name for this creature was Desert Bulette. A bulette is a monster from Dungeons & Dragons, known as a "land shark". The name was changed to Baretta for the PSX and GBA releases, most likely to avoid copyright problems. Coincidently, Baretta was the name of a 70's cop drama starring Robert Blake.

NES Release In the original NES release of Final Fantasy I, the Desert Baretta was named Ankylo. This is short for ankylosaurus, a large armored dinosaur that lived during the Cretacious period.
