Names to Run Away From Really Fast/Mix And Match: Difference between revisions

m (update links)
Line 99:
* The nuttier villains in ''[[Geneforge]]'' are prone to renaming themselves as the adjective one, adjective, or verb, but may combine them, as with Unending Purging. Also note Monarch, who doesn't strictly belong under any of these categories but chose his name because he wants to [[Take Over the World]].
* ''[[Sly Cooper]]'' - Krusher. It's bascially a junior Kracken with a scarier name. It's got crush( a violent nown), a hard k sound, ends with r, and is somes times called The Krusher. I wonder if crush being spelled with a "K" helps. Yes it is feared and has a hundred tenticals.
* ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]''' with its [[Luke Nounverber]] style random name generator has (and very often uses) the capability to create surnames and titles such as Deathsucker, Chaosknight, The Wastes of Oxen, Otterthorny, and The God-forsaken Eater of Twilight, to name a few.
** And, of course, the infamous fortress [[Let's Play|Boatmurdered]].
* One of the villains in ''[[Blood Rayne]]'' is named Dr. Bathory Mengele. First, she gets the title of "Doctor"; second, her first name is the surname of the Hungarian serial killer Countess Erszebet Bathory (also known as "the Blood Countess"), reputed to have [[Blood Bath|bathed in blood]] in a bid to remain young and beautiful); third, she shares a surname with Dr. Josef Mengele, the Nazi "Angel of Death" known for human experimentation on Auschwitz prisoners. Needless to say, she's not very nice.
* [[Blaz Blue|Ragna The Bloodedge]]: [Pagan Mythology] the [Blood][Weapon]. To put it bluntly, [[Good Is Not Nice|he isn't really a nice guy]], but with that said, [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|he isn't bad either]]... However, in his Arcade mode ending {{spoiler|v-13 hijacks his body to become The Black Beast}}, which was just as bad as it sounds.
Line 115:
* [[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''[[Runescape]]'' gives another [[Luke Nounverber]] example comes within 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.
* The name of the final boss of the classic arcade game ''[[The Combatribes]]'' is named ''Martha Splatterhead.''
* The Final Boss of [[Sonic Riders|Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity]] is named Master Core: ABIS
