Aurafroth
Aura + Froth
Trying to keep it close to Aurumoth while not implying anything too specific about the mons details/basis.

Auremnant
(Aura) Aurumoth + Remnant
Keeps it close to Aurumoth, but with more emphasis on its Ghostly side rather than the Water typing. I feel its a good thing to keep it in line with the other convergent mons that retain most of the original design's name. Also changed from Aurum to Aurem as our golden origin is less important here, and make it seem like its more of a call on Aura, instead of the other submissions focusing more on the Moth side. I figured its better to drop that one as it's no longer a bug, and doesn't really look like a seamoth to me.

Maromoth
"Marrow" + "marine" + (sea) moth
I say make it well known that this is very much not Aurumoth. Inspired by the sea moth, a relative of the seahorse. Both of these fish have bony armour in lieu of scales. Lets it have a creepy skeletal design, and huge webbed fins let it imitate Aurumoth's wings, or the flowing cloak of a reaper

Oarumoth
"oar" + the letter u + "moth"
In keeping with the style of Wiglett and Toedscruel that don't change too much about the actual pronunciation of the original name thaaat much, I've actually opted for a homophone that is pronounced the exact same way as Aurumoth, while maintaining an aquatic pun. You could argue its shell thingies are oars or paddles or whatever.

Incomprehensible ancient horror rises from the seafloor to commit violent assault on local fishermen and many others, 50 reported injured
it has an angry shell on its body taken from the heikegani, a species of Japanese crab said to be the reincarnations of furious samurai who died by drowning

Auruwraith
Aurum + Wraith
Pokedex ideas:
Scarlet: (Name) haunts shipwrecks that carried Gold and other treasures. It protects them from scavengers like Arghonaut, until the ships are forgotten.
Violet: If you encounter a heap of empty Sea Shells on the Ocean floor, best leave it untouched! Lest you face the wrath of a sleeping (Name).

What I have so far. Very much into a scary spooky skeleton vibe. Probably gonna do some off cream to really sell the bony plating vibe. Real sea moths have skin and pigment over their armour, but this one’s gonna be more obvious

Maromoth
Water/Ghost
The Bony Armour Pokémon
Scarlet: Maromoth's body is covered in a bony protective armour. Though tough, it bares ill will on those that dare touch it.
Violet: Since it spends a good time around shipwrecks, it was assumed to have caused them. Maromoth sightings are still considered a bad omen.

Horrumoth
Horror + Aurumoth
Echoing MrDollSteak's take on this. I was considering Aurumaw except Miasmaw exists, and Aurumouth as a reference to "maw".
