Capcom: “A look at concept art for the firey fanged beast, Ajarakan! The monster’s silhoutte was inspired by an ape’s long, massive forelegs and huge body.
The design motif is based on a spirit of legend often seen in Japan, with the rock-like shell and strong features in the front giving it a powerful look.”
