Ok, doing research of my own, this is what I've found.

For both the Light and Night Fury, I can see he just looked up their names in google translate for latin.

Night fury, Furoros is a direct google translation from Fury as is Night and Noctius, though some of the letters may have been changed for name fluency.

The light fury follows the same principle. The Latin word for light is Lux, the take Luxia was definitely a more fluent take on it, however, it could have also been an attempt at writing Lucia, which is based directly on the same word, but expanded for naming purposes. Since X and C are right next to each other on the keyboard, it's hard to tell if this person simply parodied Lux or used more intriguing research for a more interesting take on the same word, but mistakenly misspelled it due to x and c's close keys.

The skrills name I can tell requires more effort. I as of this moment cannot find the definition for Procienis, mainly because I don't know what this person was going for, but Tonitura is a take on Tonitrua, which means Thunder.

Personally, were I to make Latin/Greek species names for these, I wouldn't use old English translations of old norse names given to them by a small group of Vikings from the early century. But using broader traits from their habitat to their skills to their appearances, not just their old Norse names.
