Hi guys. I have a Zerg hero that uses the Fatty model. Here's the Fatty model, for those of you who don't know about it:
I want it to have a Zerg name such as Infestor, Defiler or Corruptor... but I can't think of a good one. Is there a creative person who can help me? The hero has similar abilities to the Infestor and the Defiler from Starcraft 1.
I sort of assumed it would be large with these names and mostly expanded on its largeness and appetite but some are good for almost any zerg unit. If any of these helped just a simple thanks is all I need. :)
Thank you very much, Deathcage. Whopper made me laugh. Unfortunately, Devourer is the name of a Brood Wars unit (a flying unit). I like Desecrator! I'm going with that one, unless someone can come up with a better one. I really like Desecrator! I'll credit you too, and personally PM you when the game's done.
Befouler sounds, Devious >:) and makes me feel its like a deciever style unit. Also if I havent add Deciever to your mental list of applicable names.
My tip to naming units is just think of their roles and what the emotions you want the player to feel towards the unit, you could name a rabbit Grishgin and it would sound more like a possesed rabbit capable of unnatural powers or you could call it a stereotypical cutesy name like Alice. If you still need more impulse on your decision invole the units abilities and traits, a Lizardman with poisonous spells could be called a Venommancer for example and that gives the player an immediate idea of the style of play that unit employs.
lol at "Devious". That was funny. I like Venommancer for a Lizardman. You're right, the name gives me a clear idea of the unit's abilities. I think I'll go with Befouler. I like Desecrator, but Befouler seems to fit the hero more. The Befouler can cast infested terrans, neural parasite, corruption and fungal growth. Thanks for your help, Deathcage. I will credit you.

Hmmm... V from V for Vendetta? I like Victimizer too. I might use that for one of my Ultralisk hero's abilities. He already has a name. Torrasque. Thanks for your help! I'll credit you too.

Oooh. Just thought of a good one while looking up Desecrator in the dictionary. Befouler. What do you guys think? What's the best name?

Nah... those are the 7 Phlebiac Brothers, from the Spawn Comics. You don't need to credit me for an ability name :P
@BorgDragon: Go
Spawn, that's cool. Well I'm already crediting you for helping me out with a Data Editor issue a while back. Thanks for the suggestion.
