Based on its Pokémon Ruby Pokédex entry, Corphish is probably based on the red swamp crayfish, which, like Corphish, are invasive pests in many areas.

Corphish may be a combination of corps (a branch of military servicemen; pronounced as core) or corporal (a member of the military or police force) and crayfish (the species it is based on). Alternatively, it could derive from the archaic Newfoundland fishing term corfish, which are a type of dried fish.

Heigani is a combination of 弊 hei (a bad habit or to harm) or 兵 hei (army/troops) and ebigani (crayfish).
