I am working on a pulp action sci-fi game set durring WW2. The Germans play a major part of the game and were the first to name some of the creatures. So what I am looking for is the German translation of these following names. Thank you.

Energy Sphere
Stealth Soldier
Grass Lion
Stalker
Guardian Robot
Storyteller Robot
Soldier Robot
Maintance Robot
Grass Blind
Golem
Sink Hole
Blood Sickness
Apeman
Plains Raider
Ancient Technology
Tusk Ape
Zombie
Mummy
Grass Viper
Maggot
Death Ray
Stun Ray
Ant Hill
Energy Shield

Translations out of context aren't always the best.

Stealth Soldier - Tarnkappen-Soldat
Grass Lion - Graslöwe
Stalker - Schleicher (I'd need some context for a better translation)
Guardian Robot - Wachroboter
Storyteller Robot - Robot-Erzähler
Soldier Robot - Kampfroboter or Robot-Soldat
Maintance Robot - Wartungsroboter
Grass Blind - (I'd prefer some context here, the following assumes a blind for a window) Gras-Vorhang
Golem - Golem
Sink Hole
Blood Sickness - Blutkrankheit
Apeman - Affenmensch
Plains Raider - Ebenenräuber
Ancient Technology - Antike Technologie
Tusk Ape - Haueraffe (ugh)
Zombie - Zombie or (Lebender) Leichnam
Mummy - Mumie
Grass Viper - Grasotter (viper can also be a Natter or Viper in german)
Maggot - Made
Death Ray - (as in manta ray, or in ray gun? I'm assuming the latter) Todesstrahl
Stun Ray - (same as above) Lähmstrahl or Lähmungsstrahl
Ant Hill - Ameisenhügel
Energy Shield - Energieschild

Nice job Knight Otu...but for a long-term solution Dan, I suggest you check out this little service:

Babel Fish

 

[Thanee]

Sink Hole - Senkloch

Stun Ray - (same as above) Lähmstrahl or Lähmungsstrahl

That would be a 'Betäubungsstrahl', rather.

Here are two very good online dictionaries for english-german translations:

LEO
DICT

Translations out of context aren't always the best.

Stalker - Schleicher (I'd need some context for a better translation) As like a stalking beast.

Grass Blind - (I'd prefer some context here, the following assumes a blind for a window) Gras-Vorhang. Grass blind such as not being able to see due to very tall thick grass, a slang term that would be used by German soldiers.
