I've found myself unexpectedly attached to one of the green plaguehounds. I originally just tamed him sporadically so I could take a closer look at them, but then he kind of stuck.

I'm having no luck finding a name, however, so I'm hoping you all can help me brainstorm. I'm not precisely sure what I'm looking for...probably something either demonic or toxic/plague sounding...I have the 'mood' of the name in my mind, but I can't find one that clicks.

Anyways, thanks for any ideas!

He's now called Mortifer!

Whoa... you guys look amazing together! Let me try and think up some demonic, poisonous-sounding names...

Acrimony
Affliction
Bane
Blight
Faust
Malice
Mephisto
Pestilence
Plague
Rancor
Smog
Spite
Toxin
Venom
Virus

For some reason the name Spunk/Spunky comes to mind.
Let's see what else:

Rune
Havoc
Arsenic
Toxic
Verne
Daldan

Hmm lets see

Furea meaning flare
Doku meaning poison
Hiyasha meaning fire demon
Waru meaning Evil
Ekibyou or Densenbyou meaning epidemic

I'll edit with more if I can think of some

Carmeles, perhaps? It comes from the Latin words Carmina Fideles, which mean Loyal Demon. Or maybe some other sort of combo of them.

So veph what did you end up naming him

I'm going to recommend the name Xenon. Xenon is a type of nuclear chemical used in laser and neon fixtures. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenon

I saw the glowing green skin and immediately thought of radioactivity and nuclear fallout.

Oh wow, thank you everyone for the fantastic ideas! They're all exactly the sort of ones I'm looking for.

I'll have to muse over it for a while and see what I end up choosing, these are all incredibly helpful though.

bubonic? (sp)

of course when i cant think of a name i generically name them PINGAS (usually resirved for a rhino)

He matches our tabard! Hmm names ...I usually like using this list for more evil sounding names.

Mine is named Lillith.

This is turning out to be one of the most difficult pets I've ever had to name.

I look at him and a flood of perfect descriptive words comes to my mind (putrid, toxic, blight, plague, noxious, mutagen, etc), but none of them are quite name quality on their own.

Radon is a radioactive (mutagenic!) element.

Success!

Thesaurus.com came to the rescue as I waded through all sorts of delightfully gruesome words. Mortiferous caught my eye in one listing. I shortened it to Mortifer, and suddenly it just clicked.

Thanks again everyone for steering me in the right direction, the ideas you all listed helped me get a grasp on the sort of name I was looking for. ^_^

Woo Morty!
