I may have made a typo there. Pooka is the right spelling. I also love the names for the monsters. I love the Tepes name for the Vampire MC. For the Pooka character I was thinking of last names like Goodfellow, and Aberon, (Goodfellow is Puck Goodfellow, Aberon is a bastardized version of Oberon.)

Yeah I love of the suggested names, the goblin has Seely which I really liked as a reference to the Seelie courts of the fairies. And Filius is funny too, Professor Flitwick allegedly being related to goblins. And thereās Bogart for the last name which I like for nostalgic reasons, one of my favourite childrenās books was about a Boggart. Itās great to see so much thought put into the names.

I wonder what names the author would give us for a merfolk character. For a mermaid I would expect to see Ariel for one of the choices. LOL Iām a Disney geek.
Piers Anthony have a family of Pookas in hi Xanthe books. They are ghost horses who are real only if they have chains wrapped around their bodies. Their names are Pook (the dad), Peek (the Mom) and Pookie (the baby).

Ariel is probably the only decent name I can think of for a merfolk character as well. Unsurprising as she easily one of the most popular mermaids in fiction. I remember I even had The Little Mermaid game on I think it was the Sega? So sheās all over the place. I canāt come up with any decent names. Fish related is probably a good idea, maybe Piscine or something similar. And merfolk are always associated with Atlantis so maybe Atlantean for a last name. Female demons get Lilith which is brilliant because Lilith was pretty much the mother of all demons in lore.

For the cannon Merfolk character I would go for a mermaid named Ariel Piscine, and sheās a redhead with green eyes and a light tan. The character should use a wheelchair to get around, because of being basically a fish from the waist down when in water and have legs on dry land would make her rather clumsy and weak on legs.

For a male merman Iāll use Arthur Curry, because of Aquaman. Or what about witch as a race of monster? Thereās a ton of names for a witch character! Thereās Morgana and Evie for girls and for boys thereās Merlin, and Ged for boys.
hmmā¦ Marie Laveau or maybe Nessarose
for the guys Abramelin or Adam Warlock
Edit: Elvira would be the cliche response

It is my educated opion that without a doubt absolut factā¦i donāt know, magic maybe i wasnāt paying attention. Blame the wolf he kept taking off his shirt every 5 seconds distracting me.
I think people are just speculating about what names some monsters might have if they were ever introduced as characters.

Oh right, that makes sense.
Or a Zombie character! For male Zombies thereās only one name: R!! LOL
It would be pretty hard for a zombie to blend it with humans,thoughā¦
Then again,a bit of makeup can do wonders.

So even though everyone else kinda glossed over the idea I really liked the devilfish monster from haida folklore XD just wanted to get that opinion out there. Even though my favorite playable race is the wendigo Iād absolutely love something that leans (or i could just imagine it XD) toward lovcraftian monsters like cthulhu or the king in yellow
