I haven't actually played Mamanyonyo myself so I take your word in what they are called. Take into account that Widenyo's translation is a little old by now and from a different person than the ones that translated the Rance games so translation terms differ for that reason.

1. Honestly I'm not sure about this one. It might be a reference to something else I'm missing. The japanese wiki lists it as プル・ラタニア (Pul-Latania) but I don't know.

2. This one is on the Gal Monsters page named as Fish Snake. It's unrelated to the Sea Cuisine. She appears in Rance 01 as well, I'll leave you a pic below.

3. Thunder Fish is a literal translation because 雷 means thunder and 魚 fish, but when you combine kanji in japanese you get different words altogether (sometimes very different to the meaning the original kanji would suggest). 雷魚 does refer to a species of fish named snakehead. If the monster is a robot fish then it was probably a joke that was using the literal meaning of the kanji.

4. I don't remember seeing that monster in another game. 肩ぐるま is pronounced the same as 肩車(kataguruma), which means to piggyback someone. It's might be a pun with 肩ぐ(to shoulder something) and だるま (the daruma dolls that don't have limbs) since the monster is literally just a head.

5. Yes it's Kurome. The メ (me) can also mean "eye". The naming convention for that monster class is to combine it with a colour, which is why you got Akame(red/crimson eye) and Kurome (black eye). The widenyo translator probably missed the convention since it's written in katakana rather than with the kanji of eye (Chrome could have been a valid translation in another context).
