Help me name my Ranger's followers
My ranger has just acquired 3 falcons and a cave bear as followers. Can you suggest names for them?
My ranger is an Athasian Thri-Kreen with a non-Athasian elf as a good friend, and they're currently exploring the northern reaches of the Grand Duchy of Karameikos on Mystara. Yeah, yeah, I know.Last edited by Lord Torath; 2013-04-22 at 08:17 AM.

Re: Help me name my Ranger's follwers
Why not?
How poetic is your thri-kreen?
If he's very literal-minded you could have things like Chirpy, Screechy, Shrieker and Growler. It's been a while since Iread up on thri-kreen, so I can't remember what they are like.
Alternatively you could give them thri-kreen names from the list in honor of your old pack-mates.

Re: Help me name my Ranger's follwers
Thanks for the help, everyone!
Probably leaning in the direction of literal-minded names. The Thri-Kreen-to-Common dictionary is limited enough that it's hard to come up with meaningful names in Thri-kreen (At least the one in Thri-Kreen of Athas is. Not sure if there are any others out there...)
So is there actually a difference between the Male and Female names in your generator, Erasmas?
Still, I get the idea that Thri-Kreen generally only use pack/clutch names on new Thri-Kreen. Given their 'religious' views and racial memory...Warhammer 40,000 Campaign Skirmish Game: Warpstrike

Re: Help me name my Ranger's follwers
As I said, it's been many years since I looked at thri-kreen. I'm working off memory and the fact I'm too damn lazy to get up, walk 4 meters and get book off my shelf.

Re: Help me name my Ranger's followers
Name them after his clutch-mates from Athas, or do the Athasian name theme.
Alternately, I see Thri-Keen as being rather practical/literal-minded, why not just call them Bear and Bird One, Two and Three?Last edited by Driderman; 2013-04-22 at 11:11 AM.

Re: Help me name my Ranger's followers
The tharks never struck me as insectile. Slightly reptilian, maybe, but never insectile.

Shemp? I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with that. A fourth Stooge?
