New names for zombified animals.

[kevingranade]

I'm not sure if anyone is really a fan of the zanimal naming scheme, I just haven't seen anything I thought was significantly better until now, vultures had a few suggestions I really liked, so here they are, with a few additions in the same vein to fill out the rest of the list.

I'm ok with this, but people may feel disillusioned when "festering boar" turns out to be a zombified pig, or suprised when "decay cat" is actually cougar (a big and scary type of cat, not your typical house cat)

[KA101]

I know I kinda like the zanimal scheme. But wev.

[EpicOrange]

"Great, another lumbering terror..."

[i2amroy]

I'm fine with them all except the "decay cat", since in my mind that brings to image a normal house cat that has been zombified, not a large dangerous cougar zombie.

[Lain-]

How about "decay stalker"? Too fearsome for a zombified cougar?

[Rivet-the-Zombie]

I'm fine with changing them except for zombear. I think it should stay as it is now.

[Snaaty]

Yeah, those changes are nice!
I really like those names.

[grizzlyadamz]

I agree with keeping Zombear.

My favorite on that list is 'grim howler', I'd go with 'decaying pouncer' for the cougar, though stalker sounds good as well.

Do we really want to stay away from alliteration? Could make it easier to discern zanimals from /other/ horrors.

[Mshock777]

Yeah, zombear alternative should have some reference to bear.
But overall not a big fan of, i guess, "poetical" names, might as well call zombies stumbling primates.

OR, maybe at some point, there will be a system, that alternates names depending on PC intelligence!

[Barhandar]

Eh, fancy names. Can it come bundled with a mod that toggles them back to 'zanimal' scheme?

[Snaaty]

Making a separate mod only for the zombified versions of a few enemies seems a little overkill, don't you think? Then again, it's such little work, someone might as well do it.

OT: What about zombie dogs? Technically they're the same category and could use a "poetical" name.

[narc0tiq]

I like the zombear name, otherwise I find the zanimal scheme and this proposed literary scheme to both be rather poor. I'd be perfectly happy with just "zombie animal". That said, I'd be okay either way.

[VampyreLord]

Why not call them just "zombified bear", "zombified pig"... etc. Because really "zombear", "zougar"... etc sound ugly and uninspiring, it is like how a child nowadays would actually refer to such zombified animals. I mean "zig"? what the hell is that?!

[KA101]

I mean "zig"? what the hell is that?!

It was a dev who was familiar with Zero Wing taking what depressingly little pleasure he could still find in DDA dev work. My apologies.

[Rivet-the-Zombie]

For great justice.

You have no chance to survive make your time.

[KA101]

Oh, I wish, Narc.
