What are the silliest, most ridiculous and downright nonsensical monster/boss names you've come across in your games so far?

Just playing Diablo 2 and the random names for certain local bully / boss monsters crack me up so much I sometimes almost die in-game. Sadly, most of them perish before a screencap can be made but I did attach one such example.

This isn't intended as a giveaway thread but I'm giving away 2 codes for Serious Sam for the monster names that crack me up the most.

PS: I'm playing the German version of Diablo 2 which has much funnier sounding names, English just sounds too pleasant somehow.


EDIT: First code was offered to Grargar but he already has the game, so there are still 2 free codes for Serious Sam which will be handed out here soon.

I remember from the game Blue Dragon for Xbox 360 a minor enemy called a "Poo Snake". It looked like a coiled turd with a snake head, lol. There was a boss version later in the game called "King Poo". Dumb, childish humor, but it made me chuckle.
Psychonauts' lungfish called linda
The Dragon Quest series in general have a tendency for extremely puny monster names, such as:

A spearman=Pokesperson
A werewolf=Bewarewolf, Scarewolf
A walking cucumber=Cruelcumber
A cat wizard=Clawcerer
An agressive baboon=Badboon
An exploding smiling rock=Grinade...

OK, I'll stop right here.

This reminds me of the great mighty poo, you know the one that throws his shit at you :D

AHAHAH "Stink". I'm guessing he instantly dies if you spray deodorant on him(or use water magic on him)?

Funniest enemy name I have encountered in games is "Abobo" from Double Dragon. What kind of name is Abobo, seriously? If I had a fight a person in real life named Abobo, he'd probably win because I'd be too busy laughing my ass off at his name.

Final Fantasy series has the Marlboro (like the cigarette) as one of its staple recurring monsters. Its trademark attack is 'bad breath'.
I'm playing Terraria (without using a guide) and was attacked by a wizard/sorcerer called Tim. :-D
(I don't know if he was prodigal or even an enchanter. I was giggling and killing him.)

The Pigtunia has a tendency to snort a hallucinogenic pollen at the player's party...resulting in a dream of Cattlesnakes and Kangasharks.

To sum up: Earthbound and related games have an rather interesting selection of enemies.

Aww, now I have to link to this clip!
Sacrifice has the best names . Manahore...
Ceaseless Discharge from Dark Souls.
If you think the German Diablo 2 boss names are funny then wait until you find a weapon called "Tödlicher Schwengel des Stoßens". ;-)

His full name doesn't make it any better. It's "Stink - Shredder the Slitter", or something like this :/ Sounds a bit stupid in English, but it sounds completely ridiculous in German. Fetzer der Schlitzer... I'll have nightmares tonight...
I'd say Lickilicky from Pokemon.
