Double meaning here, folks. Keep that in mind. Basically the rest of this post is made up of "pet names"/"nicknames" we IVAN veterans have for some of the named characters in the game (that I've heard anyway Confused

), but this is also a place you can post names you've given your pets. Just thought it might be handy to somebody eventually Wink

Genetrix Versana the mother carnivorous plant = Trixy, Mom, Jenny
Rondol the kobold patriarch = Ron
Guugzamesh the goblin king = Gus
Golgor Dhan = Danny
Sherarax the mistress queen = Raxy, Sherry
Ischaldirh the dark archmage = Izzy
Vladimir the gigantic carnivorous mutant bunny = Vlad

No reason for new members to be confused as to who the older members are referring to now, eh? Razz

This almost deserves to be stickied. Great idea Chaos.

Though, you didn't mention Elpuri. I've heard him called Kermit in the past, and I suspect Elmo will come up eventually. Then again, I don't believe he's encountered often enough to really need a pet name, and his name isn't that complicated anyways, but still.

I don't think so, other than things like "Khan" or "Golgor". They're pretty short and uncomplicated. Also, they don't spawn often, and aren't as rediculously powerful as Raxy or Izzy.

Thanks to blob for "Danny" Very Happy

Thanks to Freelance Berzerker for "Jenny" and "Sherry" 8)

I'll add to this list of thanks as I know who came up with those pet names!

Is there one for the Enner Beast? I usually think of him as "mouther" when I can't remember his name.

As i m always bound to find EXTREMELY ORIGINAL NAMES, i called him Enny. Im so creative.

Freelance Berzerker · Posted: Mon Sep 04, 2006 10:46 am Post subject:

I use "Ennie" sometimes, but that's so close to the original name.

I think "Chunk" "Sloth" or even "Mouth" works for him.

Goonies rule, wheee!

Call me crazy but it seems like the Tips Tricks and Secrets forum and the General Discussions forum have swapped places. Under Tips we find such spoilers as Pet names and under general discussion we find such ulitmately non-spoily topics as how to attain permahaste by getting the attribute clock above 66536 ticks. Confused

You are right. Moved this topic to General Discussion and made it sticky.

A thread of mine, Stickied?!

I'm honoured, holybanana.

UPDATE: New name for Sherarax
