  1. I've got a BIG problem with naming my monsters.
    There are 3 names i've got a problem with. (These names are Dragon Quest III styled, so i want a Dragon Quest III NES-styled name! Less than 10 chars!)
    Name 1
    BEE
    Just unoriginal. I want a new name for it.

    Name 2
    DARKBEE
    Don't like it either.
    DARKBEE is just a recolor of the bee above.
    Name 3
    STINGER
    Yup. I just want names for my bee enemies.
    STINGER is yet again, a recolor of the bee above.
    Here are examples of Dragon Quest III enemy names:
    BLACKRAVEN
    HUMANABAT
    MADHOUND
    RAMMORE
    FROGGORE
    CATULA
    DEMONITE
    AVENGERBEAK
    TORTRAGON
    LIONHEAD
    HOLOGHOST
    MAGIWYVERN
    SWORDOID
  2. Stingwing
    Drillbee
    Prickle
    Buzzkill
    Thornfly

    Hope these help!
  3. SCARABEE (If you're a fan of Stryder II)
    BUMBLEBOMB
    WYZBEE

    Yeah, I'm no good at this...
  4. Latin name for bee is Apis

    So for the regular bee I'd say Buzzapis
    Dark bee I'd say Umbrapis (Umbra is Shadow)
    Stinger I'd say Ictapis (Ictus is Sting)

    But if u have to name them like Dragon Quest

    BUMBLEBUZZ
    DUSKBUZZ / SABLEBUZZ
    BLADEBUZZ
  5. So, i've decided to use Raijinn's names for the bees! Now i need names for these 3:
    MADAPPLE
    MADAPPLE.png
    TONGUEAPPLE
    TONGUEAPPLE.png
    and EVILAPPLE.
    EVILAPPLE.png
  6. Any skills/traits that differ them other than the color?
  7. Well, the purple one uses poison, the white one uses paralysis and ice, and the red one is just an apple.
  8. OKAY so these names are because of the tongue, but feel free to change the end part to whatever.

    Lick Endings:
    MADAPPLE: MADLICK/POMMELICK
    TONGUEAPPLE: TOXLICK/TOXICK (Toxic + Lick) VENOMLICK/BANELICK
    EVILAPPLE: STUNLICK/FROSTLICK

    Apple Endings:
    MADAPPLE: JUSTAPPLE (Self explanatory)
    TONGUEAPPLE: SNAKEAPPLE/SNAPPLE (Snake + Apple)
    EVILAPPLE: FRAPPLE(Frost + Apple)/STAPPLE(Stun + Apple)

    memz:
    MADAPPLE: REDBOI
    TONGUEAPPLE: LICKBOI
    EVILAPPLE: BADBOI
  9. @Raijinn though it's True that apis is latin for honeybee it's also An egyptian God depicted as a Bull so that might confuse People

    Then again it's probably Just me lol
  10. Make it have a second form of a bull :D

    But in all seriousness, Apis is a deity so if the name is added with anything it wouldn't be the same, or so I think
  11. @Raijinn youre probably right. It was the first link I made but I studied the stuff so yeah... Totally Just me haha
  12. So, i used them! How about these guys?
    URSAMOUSE.png
    URSAMOUSE.
    A recolor of my RATBEAR enemy.
    It likes looking at the night sky.
    GIANTSNAIL.png
    GIANTSNAIL.
    Another poison boi.
    HIPOROPE.png
    HIPOROPE.
    Likes tripping humans with its rope that it had since it was born.
    POISONLEAF.png
    POISONLEAF.
    A flower thing.
    Yet another poisoner.
    And lastly, the MEANPLANT, a recolor of the above plant.
  13. Names I could think of on top of my head:
    URSAMOUSE = BEARODENT
    GIANTSNAIL = POISNAIL
    HIPOROPE = ROPPO
    POISONLEAF = VENOMFLORA
  14. Thanks! Those are all the ones i need help with.


    For now...
  15. Clark Ashton Smith invented names by rearranging the syllables in the names and surnames of his acquaintances. When I need to come up with a name, I just switch the keyboard layout and type some word, for example cerf,kzlm = Ceraph Kazalum.
    This is primitive, but I like it.
  16. I kind of think that the name 'Majorbear' for the Ursamouse is pretty neat--like Ursa Major, but also that it's a bear, and also since Ursa Major is supposed to represent a bear. Plus it sounds neat. I'm not sure about the others, though.
  17. Yeah, I would stay away from using anything related to "apis" for the bee names. I mean...I see where it's coming from, it just...well, it's got the sound "piss" in the name. Umbrapis could literally read as "shadow urination" and I just can't take that seriously. Maybe something like Buzzthrill, Buzzkill and Buzzdrill would be better. I'm not the best at naming stuff myself but I really would stay away from the apis/piss thing.

    APPLEJERK(it's a pun on applejack)
    RED MALICIOUS (get it, like red delicious?) /too long
    HESPERICREEP (the golden apples of Hesperides) /too long
    BRUTE ROT (pun on fruit rot)
    WORMTUNG (because I'd expect an apple monster's tongue to be a nasty worm)
    BADAPPLE (this is at least a reference to bad apples spoiling the bunch)
    D. CORED (pun on Discord apple, the apple Eris used to cause the Trojan war)

    I didn't see the character limit but I'll leave these for you to mess with.
