Vicious six-legged weasel-like creature with fur made of actual gold. Beware! It's a high-level monster and is a lot more vicious than it looks, although it's a great find for AD&D players more interested in treasure hoarding than adventuring.

"aurum" sounds like a Latin word root and is adapted from the Latin word for gold. "vorax" is probably just invented (though again it has a definite Latin sound).

A cultural and aesthetic mind-state that prioritizes making money, even as an “underground” or “radical” creator. The work isn’t made for money, but it’s the money that matters the most.
