See I'm kinda nearly finished with the "easy" to name things in my list of animal/humanoid babies and I'm not the best with coming up with names but I know alot of you guys are!

Like Sporebats and Sporewalkers are related and so most likely should be named the same or close to it. I'm thinking sporelings? what do you guys think? Maybe something fungal?

With Mana wyrms I allways seem them as like eels so elvers? Fry? Manalings? Doodlewoodles?......maybe not the last one :lol:

Shale spiders. Er Shardlings? I know theres babies in game I think but I forgot what they are called :/ Chiplings? Would they even breed? I mean they are elementals after all I can't see them laying eggs or anything. This most likely goes for Rock giants too.

Rockflayers? I mean they are humanoids but they are allso beast like more so than "human" like so maybe something beasty? Pups?

Makrura? fry? they are crustaions after all. I forgot what crabs are called when they are young but most likely end up going with that >.<

Yeah I know I could just go with "babies" but I like to spice things up if I can ya know :/

Anywho I'd like to know what you guys think!

Rockflayers I think Whelp or Pups yes..
Sporebats are trickier(I wouldnt do sporelings because iirc there is a race in WoW called them.) Baby bats are also called Pups but Sporebats arent really like bats in anything other than the name. Perhaps.. Spup! Spore+Pup :lol:
Sporewalkers I always think of their legs and I cant help but think of something like Younglegs or something having to do with them being all wobbly and having little itty-bitty legs. :)
Mana Wryms I think you nailed it with Manalings.
As for Shale Spiders while it is odd to say they reproduce given that we see babies they obviously do. I see it as perhaps an older Shale Spider has a chip of rock on him that comes off and a new Spider grows from that. I think Shalelings(dp?) would be good for them.

Hope this helps!

My interpretation:

Sporebat: Sporeling, Spore Pup
Spore Walker(Marsh Walker): Marshling, Larva, Marsh Nymph/Spore Nymph, Ephyna (they remind me of jellyfish)
Mana Wyrm: Wyrmling, Mana Larva, Mana Nymph
Shale Spider: Shardling, Spiderling, Sling
Rock Flayer: Whelp, Pup, Cub
Makrura: Larva, Fry, Nymph

I found young names for three of the species.

For Rock Flayers, there are Stonescythe Whelps. Rock Flayers also seem to have matriarchal packs lead by a den mother.

The Mana Wyrm minipet is a Mana Wyrmling.

The critter Shale Spiders are called hatchlings. Although shardling is an adorable name.
