Suggested names for boss monsters?

Post by Bugbo »

This thread is for players to suggest names they would like to see given to boss monsters. Something more interesting then "elder" or "enraged".

cow - Raging Bull, Bessy
Reaper - Old Cedar, Sprucewood
shark - Jaws
squid - Kraken, Calamari
sandtrap - Ankle Nibbler

Other ideas?

I'd like to see random names for every boss, period. I don't know why some bosses only have Elder, and Like Golems they have a set adjetive to describe them... It may be because egg was lazy, or he didn't want to, or just never got around to it, but Random names for Golems is the main thing I want to see, and possible golem drops, and alot more golem stuff.

Why would golems have individuality? Although, why some otherwise identical golems would be bosses doesn't make that much sense either...

Following the idea of having themed drops (certain types of monsters have increased chances of droppin certain types of items) you could have golems drop more heavy armor... they're sorta like animated armor anyway.

Shadow mages should have their names too, possibly after some recognized dark wizards.

I think it would be cool if boss monsters were occasionally named after players with that monster avatar. For instance, a boss spider could be named DrBiggie, a boss devil could be named Raiden, or a boss cow could be named Rusty :)

Nah a cow name would be Rusty's Mate or Rusty's Nemesis or how about Rusty's Ex. Ohh Rusty's Ex might XC only Rusty :).

Use Diabloish names, like maybe few static names and mostly random suffixes and prefixes. Like make a list of prefixes and suffixes:

prefix:
-john
-david
-timmy

suffix:
-the usurper
-the defiler
-the bastard

So the system would pick up a prefix and a suffix, like a minotaur boss called "timmy the usurper". These randomish names could be ideal for low / worthless mobs like minotaurs. Stuffs like balrons/slords should have something more epic.

I think it already works that way for most monsters.

yeah, but my point was to use more imagination. The same names occur a lot.
