    So I did a search and was amazed to not find a thread already on the subject! Maybe I missed it, and if so point me there, but this thread must exist!

    What are the best special enemy and artifact names you've come across? If you've got a good artifact list of "additions", that qualifies too! Didn't even think of room names until after I posted, but those can be pretty funny too.

    For example:
    Enemy: the "Pounder of Ales"
    or from Narwhal in the death thread: the "Sahmosifer the Dominatrix Over Gears"

    I'll post more when I'm at home and remember to screenshot them...

    It's not an enemy or artifact name, but it's a room.

    I think it was "The Non-Euclidian Bakery of Sausage Rolls".

    When I got the quest, I had to screenshot it.

    I named it "Some artifacts are just TOO magical."

    My favorites were the monsters "Consumer of Coffees" and "Incoming Tentacles".

    I think I had one involving incoming tentacles too. Aren't randomized names fun?

    Anything with "XYZ of Canadians" in it. I've seen several.

    There's a few good ones like that, but it's not random.

    All artifacts: Maslech, the Eater of Beatings; Eyjalla, the Extraplanar Marriage (talk about long distance); Unuspo, the Unimpressive Fork.

    I agree. (Click me, I'm a link!)

    I remember watching Cosmos with my dad on PBS when I was kid, and even then, I recognized its awesomeness. The fact that I still remember it a quarter century later after only watching a handful of episodes says something, if you ask me.

    I wonder if it's available on Hulu or NetFlix? Time to fire up ye olde interwebs and take a look...

    Again, nothing at all against Mr. Sagan, I love him too, but that's NOT a random name!

    You didn't specify random in the first post.

    I've had:
    Valcrajo, the Mangler of Grammars (found that kinda ironic)
    Argkulltwe, the Creation of Grammars

    Are we doing room names, too?
    I found The Portly Test Chamber of Pillars, which made me laugh. And The Beknighted Home of Kumquats, and The Dry Dock of Porpoises.

    OK, I checked the first post and you're right, I didn't explicitly specify random. But I did say artifact, which is the same thing in my head :p It might even be the same distinction in the code, artifact involves random stats.

    I love the irony of the first one :)

    Irony is when the intended meaning is an INVERSION of the normal meaning. If something is a mangling of grammars, and bears the title of "Mangler of Grammars" it's not ironic, it's apt.
