Monster Names

The "Wyrm of the North" column in old Dragon mags and on Wizards' website provides a good list of dragon names and nicknames.
 

Here are a few from Return to the Tomb of Horrors:

Ferranifer (female vampire scion)
Blaesing (vampire)
Absalom (vampire)
Harrow (vampire)
Desatysso (male human wizard)
Isafel (medusa)
 

And, I finally find my password! Huzzah!

I think I'll go through the random Dragon magazines I've got in my dorm... bear in mind that the majority of my collection is back home... If I omit a gender, assume that it wasn't given. Likewise, Dragon doesn't always give a setting for things... generic D&D/Greyhawk is probably the best assumption in those case, if it matters... And if someone posts an illithid or other asexual monster that the source attributed a gender to, assume I'm throwing dice at its head. This means you, Athaekeetha.

Dark Sun MC Appendix II has a surprising amount of named NPCs...

Xanaxorath, female brass dragon
Tilizorril, male green dragon

Paul S. Kemp's FR novel Twilight Falling had a pack of gnolls. Some of them were named: Dreeve, Gez, and Nurm.

and i'm surprised that Gez missed that one. ;)
 

I think his name was Gimble or something like that... ::shrugs::
