They could have called it platypus and that'd have been just as creative. The job of localisation is to make something foreign to the audience understandable.
Before you say blah blah poison two swords two fangs, platypus are a mammal that lays eggs encompassing the two/one motif and have a venomous spur. Maybe they'll put more information out which makes viper seem a sensible or appropriate name, but the trailer did not convey that.
