Rendchinus
Combo of “Rend” + “Brachinus”
Pronounced: Rend-chi-nus
A combo of “Rend”, referring to it’s strong offenses and most prominent physical feature, being it’s jaw, and “Brachinus” referring to the scientific name of the bombardier beetle. Not sure if the prononciation is off, but that can be fixed later on. I also wanted to go with a name that didn’t focus too much on the draconian aspect of the mon’ as suggested by others here and give it a name based off of it’s major aspects.

Metamawrtar
metamorphosis+maw+mortar
Pronounced: mé-ta-móur-tar
Metamorphosis comes from the the process that most bugs realize (including beetles), but also from the book by Franz Kafka, "the meramorphosis" were the protagonist turns into a giant bug (mostly despicted as a beetle)
Maw comes from the obvious and giant maw on its tail
Mortar from the way it can use its tail to shot stuff in a way similar to a mortar
I disnt add anything based on dragons because to be honest i dont think that fits at all with the desing, its definitely more buggy than draconic

Bombargon
Bombardier + Argon + Dragon
Pronounced "Bom-bar-gone"
Argon is a noble gas, which while not "neutralizing" per se, is definitely neutral. It also combines Bombardier Beetle with Dragon, tying together cap28's insect qualities, dragon qualities, and primary ability

Scorpheus
Combination of scorpion and Orpheus, a figure in Greek myth associated with the Scorpio astrological sign. The myth part covers the dragon typing.
Pronounced: SCOR-fee-us
EDIT Oct 14: I decided I liked Scorpheus better than Scorphic because it sounds older I guess.

Beelzalisk
Beelzebub + basilisk
Pronounced "Bee-Elz-Lisk"
The first part of the name hails from Beelzebub, a demon known for being the "Lord of Flies". Not only does this cover its Bug typing, but one could argue that it covers its Neutralizing Gas, due to both flies liking for bad-smelling things and their connection to sickness. The second part of the name hails from the mythological basilisk both for its serpentine/draconic design and its Compound Eyes, as a basilisk is able to kill with only a glare.

Megarhyssa
Pronounced: "Meh-gar-iss-ah"
It is the genus for a wasp with a really long tail. Also benefits sounding like a name for a bad bad dragon.
