The Arrasate is a neo-Basque name of Mondragón. That name Mondragón was creatively given him by a king Alfonso X the Wise. Later people converted the name using it for a created figure of Herensuge, a dragon that lived in the mountain of Santa Barbara and terrified habitants of Arrasate till he was overwhelmed.
