Grargar: 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=Badboon
An exploding smiling rock=Grinade...
OK, I'll stop right here.
No, don't stop! You're killing me with those, especially the 'cruelcumber'...that's pure gold. Reminds me of a classic German joke that goes like this: What's green and dead? And the answer is a "Sterbse" (sterben = to die, Erbse = green pea), there's a ton of those and we generally call them Sparwitze (low budget jokes) because they're so terribly campy.A spearman=Pokesperson
A werewolf=Bewarewolf, Scarewolf
A walking cucumber=Cruelcumber
A cat wizard=Clawcerer
An agressive=Badboon
An exploding smiling rock=Grinade...
OK, I'll stop right here.
monkeydelarge: AHAHAH "Stink". I'm guessing he instantly dies if you spray deodorant on him(or use water magic on him)?
Pretty much, I used Holy Freeze on him and shattered him to pieces before he could stink up the place (even though it was out in the open). Many of those undead monsters tend to die in a poisonous green cloud, fortunately I have maxed resists so no big worry. Spot on! That always cracks me up :)
Geralt_of_Rivia: If you think the German Diablo 2 boss names are funny then wait until you find a weapon called "Tödlicher Schwengel des Stoßens". ;-)
I hired an Act II defensive merc so I can give those Schwengels to them and don't have to touch them myself. UNfortunately, he dies all the time despite having a long and strong Schwengel. (For English speakers, "Schwengel" means dick in German, so the weapon Geralt just described translates to "deadly dick of penetration"...)
