I've had a dragon group called The Ignited Vomit. Very fitting if you ask me.

A personal favorite from the Legends entry in my newest world:



I guess he was too busy knitting cardigan pullovers and drinking brandy from a snifter to really get up to anything, despite his posthumous activities.

I really like the name "Nastymonster", a goblin who appeared to have slain a hydra.

Two perfect names in the new release.

An Elf capital, named Murdergrowth...so perfect, considering the Elves (as they are nowadays) were bloodthirsty fiends.

Second was some poor 2nd generation slave named Zolak Deviousincest. As if incest wasn't devious enough...

Note his sister and mother did NOT sleep with him, but were too busy murdering goblins left and right before later dying themselves. His wife, however, was named Song Charmwitch, another perfect name in my book.

Hah, a human town in the world I just generated:
Resmituthru, "Beardedsquirt", a town

Sounds like they had dwarves in mind.  ;D

Of course I had to look it up in legends since the town showed as having no population at the end of worldgen. Maybe the dwarves wiped them out?
As it happened though, it was elves. After 4 years of constant attacks by several megabeasts giving them trouble, the town was attacked by two elves from the elven civilization "The Leopard of Cremations" in the year 5 and destroyed in that battle. I say battle, but the attackers were uncontested by any of the 9 humans living there so the elves won by default. Four of the humans after the battle were drowned (not eaten, for whatever reason) and the rest fled. Thus ended the fledgling human civilization "The Grasping Confederation".
