Most mispronounced monster names

I've never heard Brits having trouble with "lich." There's a town called "Lichfield", and everyone just pronounces it that way. My scenario idea set there will have to wait for the right campaign...

Well, 17 years is impressive for necro-ing a thread, @Zhaleskra . Last post in 2005.

And because of things like this, we have a Pronunciation guide now.

I have a friend who insists on pronouncing lich as "lick". He just does it to be annoying, though.
Actually, it's the Middle English for "body" and a correct pronunciation for either of the spellings (lich, lik,). Note that the Scots form is indeed the same sound as in German for the ch diglyph.
I'm one of those who prefers the ipa: lɪx instead of the more common lɪtʃ ...
Bullette. That E on the end means it is not the same as bullet! :p
Ah, yes, DIdn't Mr. Kask say there wasa no official pronunciation?
