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.

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"...)

Oh, you mean this one, right?
As soon as I saw the name of this thread, I thought "Diablo II". Obviously, I'm not alone! :D

- I met a "Fantôme fantômatique". That's right, a "Ghostly ghost". How more spiritual can you get?

- The Rusty foam (L'Écume rouillée)?

- There was also a demon named "Peau chair" (Skin Flesh). In the south of France, "peuchère" is a popular expression conveying some degree of pity. Just imagine a demon speaking with a thick regional accent and you'll get the idea. "Té, couillon, je te dépiaute un paladin en deux coups de cuillère à pot, oh, peuchère..."

- Dungeons of Dredmor: (see attached image) The "Queen of Communism" has a moustache, and... FUCK, she's trying to kill me!

No, a weapon with the name I quoted above really exists in Diablo 2. :-)

I already mentioned it in this forum. See this thread.

I believe you, I just made a parallel between the... alternative meaning of the name and that webcomic.

Well, if you want more, you can always find it here. Mind you, not ALL monsters have puny names, but many do.

Thanks for the link! I've only played DQ IV but DQ IX seems funnier, maybe I'll unearth my DS as it's been a couple years since I last played anything on that.
There are some really great things in the Mother 3 fan translation.

Also, some great things in the Penny Arcade games.
I just remembered another funny monster name from a game.

El Pollo Diablo!

So next time you are in the mood for some fried chicken...THINK TWICE...because of El Pollo Diablo!

Wow "Cruelcumber" ... that might take the cake right there!

My first thought was "Ceaseless Discharge" - is this an RPG or an STD???

Also I remember the names of a few enemies in Persona (4 I think?) being pretty funny in the "Oh wow, that's so terrible it's funny" manner

And Shadow Hearts had some bad enemy names as well. I literally spit my beverage all over the screen when, I shit you not, an enemy slapped me upside the head with a massive engorged phallus. God I wish I could remember the awfully wonderful names of some of those baddies.

Ixamyakxim: Wow "Cruelcumber" ... that might take the cake right there!
Actually, that did indeed take the cake but Grargar already has Serious Sam and graciously declined the prize which means there are still 2 codes for Serious Sam in this for the funniest monster names.

tinyE: Ceaseless Discharge from Dark Souls.
That's very much in the spirit of this thread so I'm giving you one of the 2 codes I have here for Serious Sam, congrats & check your PM inbox.

To everyone else, 'make a funny' and win a code!

PS: I surprisingly ran into "Stink - Fetzer der Schlitzer" again just one day after I first met him, this time he incarnated in Act IV as a ghost but he still stinks so I had to put him on ice, again.

EDIT: tinyE already has Serious Sam as well, so yet again I'm sitting on two stupid codes...if this goes on like this I'll just copy-paste the darn codes into this post and be done with it :D

Let me get another one.

Prophallus
It's probably a mistranslation of Pro(to)Force, but it doesn't make it any less funny.
