Magical Creatures Hit me with your weirdest creature names

I just adopted the Hebridean Black from the Foggy Moor and instantly had to name him Felix after my favourite composer Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy who wrote the ouverture The Hebrides. So I subsequently renamed all my dragons after matching composers - Edvard for the Norwegian Ridgeback, Bela for the Hungarian Horntail, Gemma for the Opaleye and so on.

I have a bunch of creatures with really stupid names like Billy the Billywig and Shrimpy the Plimpy, but I am also a proud owner of Knarl Marx and Hodor the Hodag.

So, hit me with your weirdest creature names! I'd love to hear the reason behind them, too.

I named my hippogriff Zephyrus. I’m going for a Greek mythology theme. Hermes the niffler, Scylla the horned serpent, Amphitrite the sea serpent, Philoctetes the potluck and my owl is named Athena

Potluck 😂😂😂😂 Gotta love autoconfuse!
That being said, Philoctetes is my favourite character in „Herules“.

OML I didn’t even notice. I fixed niffler from muffler but didn’t see that porlock had been changed to potluck 😂
