Line 2:
Anyone whose name combines several of the distinct types of [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]] is generally someone you really, really, do not want to get mad at you. Or they're a [[Mary Sue]], which is arguably worse.
 
{{examples|Examples:}}
 
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
Line 113:
** ''[[Psychonauts (Video Game)|Psychonauts]]'': The bull El Odio who terrorizes a city in Edgar's [[Mental World]]. {{spoiler|True to his name, he's a manifestation of Edgar's resentment.}}
* Also in ''[[Psychonauts (Video Game)|Psychonauts]]'', Oleander. A poisonous plant. I don't trust this guy.
* [[Yggdra Union|Gulcasa, Emperor of Carnage]]. That he goes around riding a dragon and twirling a [[Sinister Scythe]] is bad enough, but he's an Emperor in a Japanese RPG (which is almost always bad), and Carnage, well, speaks for itself. Add to this that he's also referred to as Blazing Emperor, that his personal skill is named [[Kill 'Em All|Genocide]], and that he is a direct descendant of the evil dragon [[Sealed Evil in A Can|Brongaa]]... yeah. People actually run away as soon as they hear his name in-universe.<br /><br />Ironically enough, {{spoiler|Gulcasa is actually so sweet and good-natured it's downright pitiful. He doesn't get [[Sympathetic POV]] until ''very'' late into ''[[Yggdra Union]]'', though, so unless you've played ''[[Yggdra Unison]]'' and ''[[Blaze Union]]'', you wouldn't be able to tell}}. You still don't want to make him angry, though.
* Bad-to-the-Bone Pirates from ''[[Infinite Space]]'', said to be the most ruthless pirate gang in the universe. "Merciless Night Queen" Celina and "the Bloody Prince" Teodoro are odd cases; they're not villains (Celina even helps you several times throughout the game, and Teodoro can be recruited under [[Defeat Means Friendship]]), but they certainly won't hold back when anyone gets in their way.
* Another [[Luke Nounverber]] example comes with Nounverber-style titles for all Dungeoneering bosses in ''[[Runescape]]''. There are bosses with names like Plane-freezer Lakhrahnaz, Shadow-forger Ihlakhizan, Night-gazer Khighorahk, Flesh-spoiler Haasghenahk, To'Kash the Bloodchiller, Har'Lakk the Riftsplitter, Bal'Lak the Pummeller, and the behemoths don't really lack in the threatening name department either. After all, facing a giant hulking beast called the Hope devourer can cause a bit of a fright. And then, of course Jagex took these titles [[Up to Eleven]] and gave us ''World-gorger'' Shukarhazh. Due to the Stalkers being [[The Unpronounceable]], and attempts at pronouncing these often resulting in lots of [[Black Speech|guttural sounds]] certainly doesn't detract from the value.
Line 131:
** And now he has another nickname: {{spoiler|Bec Noir, from Becquerel, a [[Reality Warper]] dog who is named after the SI unit of radiation... ''[[It Got Worse|whose powers Jack now wields]]''.}}
*** Doc Scratch, aka the First Guardian of the Troll's session. Name X + Verb. {{spoiler|And is also themed like a rapper's name since he's based off Lil' Cal, who is a creepy sentient doll.}}
* [[Girl Genius|Gilgamesh Wulfenbach]]. Animal plus conqueror. He really does try to be polite, though. [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|It's not his fault that people don't listen to him until he makes the shit hit the fan]]. But when he says [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20071121 "Leave now, or you will die!"], [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20071126 you might want to run like hell].
** His father, Baron Klaus Wulfenbach (title, K-name, animal), is not a man to be screwed with lightly either. Especially not considering he gone from minor noble to benevolent dictator of the better part of Europe, and has clawed himself to the top of a pile of trigger-happy power-crazed [[Mad Scientist|Mad Scientists]] in the process.
** Meet Lucifer Mongfish and his three beautiful daughters. Lucrezia, Demonica, and Serpentina.
