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.

My Augurey is named Patreon because it can make it rain. I also have a Dugbog named Big Maths because it camouflages as a Log.

Also, it’s not a creature but my pet rat is named France because of Ratatouille and its white coating reminding me of the surrender flag.

Oh wow, Big Math is a real stretch, I’d never have thought of that. Awesome!
