Need a cool monster name

[Ravilah]

Okay, I need an intimidating name for a cloud/ice dragon (a cross with a white dragon and a cloud drake). Not a species name, but a personal name. The dragon is female, and she's so powerful that a group of titans have to keep her in check.

The PCs aren't actually going to face her (at least not now at 8th level) but the threat of her is going to hang over their heads.

Anyone out there better with names than I am?

Grendlesmodor.

Contraction of "Grendles modor" -- Grendel's mother, arguably the most singly dangerous of Beowulf's opponents. She is not named in the Saga of Beowulf.

It rolls off the tongue as something ominous yet familar as a single word. And you can play with the pronunciation, e.g. "Gren-dless-moo-door". (Or "Grindell's mutha" if you want to be silly.)

In these old myths, the concept of species is a little vague so some kind of terrible monster can spawn some other kind of terrible monster.

A touch of Norse would seem to fit.

Some off-the-top-of-my-head suggestions:

Sleetstorm (invokes both ice and clouds, after the dragon types)

Borealix (patterned after "Aurora Borealis" - the northern lights)

Johnathan (not a suggestion, just me signing my posts like always)

Oh, and I second Johnathan, it sounds kinda ominious

I like Doug's suggestion (Winter)

"Johnathan" would be too scary. What if your players met a "Johnathan" in real life? They might scream and run away and fail the job interview.

Some synonyms for cold:

Combine these with a dragon-related noun and you get names like:

Also, some of the names of the sample white dragons in the Draconomicon:

Todeisig - roughly icydeath from the German. You could add an "a" on the end to feminize it a bit.

 

[awayfarer]

Incintil. Sounds vaguely like "icicle" and has a aguely frosty, tinkly sound to it.

 

[noretoc]

Snowflake.

and have her blast the first person who laughes.


Tempest.
