What's a good name for a race of incorporeal tentacle monsters?

[RangerWickett]

They can possess people's bodies and mutate them. Eat your brain to take your knowledge. Something short and snappy that the GM and players won't stumble over?

 

[Wiseblood]

Snaveeze

My first choice was.

Gnihtontogi

 

[Aberzanzorax]

Vermicious Knids?



Octophasms?

Squiks?

Phantopi?

Wrigglies?



Need to know the "genre" of naming for your campaign for better answers. Is it kitsch, but serious? Deep horror? Highly Lovecraftian? etc....

 

[fireinthedust]

I know what my name for them would be:

"(points) AAAAAAAhhhhhh!"




Short and to the point.

 

[Kaodi]

Ilbirathim.

 

[pming]

Shlaboogalorg

It just sounds...icky. Kind of an undead version of Urosukidojo (please, do *not* go look for that DVD...just think depraved tenticled demons and innocent school girls...*shudder*...).

[Hand of Evil]

[steeldragons]

The Clutches.

or the Fog.

Alternately: the Fog Clutch/-es.

You can't see them. You can't touch them. But you find yourself in their/the Clutches.

ooOOoooOO. shhhhpooooOOOkyyyy.

Just the first thing that came to mind.

Have fun and happy brain-eating.
