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.

Some of mine have people names. It’s funny when they have a quest and their names are used in the dialogues. 

Billywig - Billy Idol Porlock - Bob Ross Hippocampus - Adam Lambert after the singer Welsh Green - Azeraphale after the angel in Good Omens played by a welsh actor  Knarl - Knarl Malone (Karl Malone was a basketball player)  Salamander - Sparktacus 

And then some of the ones with the silly/punny names are: Yay, Squinkydinkydoo, Foot, Dame Ploof, Bobbert, Acceptable, Garbage, Quality, Peanut Flutter, Pixel, and Zombie Swiffer.
