It's a piranha evolved after eating people!

The Marabou stork:

Basically, every single fact about this animal is disgusting; they look like an unholy cross between a stork and a vulture with a scrotum on their neck,
they are called "the undertaker bird" due to their gruesome appearance and habit of hanging out near dead things and eating carrion when they're not
digging through garbage at dumps, they poop on their legs to keep cool and even their name, Marabou, comes from the Arab word for hermit because
of the birds being stinky and repulsive creatures driving people away with their gross habits.

And for some inexplicable reason, this is the animal Sweden's most popular chocolate brand choose to take their name from:

And even decorating their pralines with it's image:

They are just being honest.
Spoiler
Their chocolates are just like cool poop on your legs.

I think that the origin of that word is from islam. Marabout. A marabout is something like a saint/holy person and the bird got the name from marabout and then that declicious chocolate was named after the bird. Just sayin' :D

I remember reading that from wikipedia,  it's named that way because the birds looked somber and lonely or something, though I'm still stumped as to what that has to do with cocolate!
