So, I'm sure Mammon sounds ominous and cool to you English speakers, but ins Spanish that name threatens to cause my players to burst in to giggles.
Mamar: to suckle
Mamon: Somebody who suckles.
If that wasn't bad enough, in CHile it is slang for a couple of things.
Eres un Mamon = You are a Momma's boy
Dame un Mamon = Asked the boy to his girlfriend. I leave exactly what he is offering her to suckle to your imagination.
Hence, I will not be using Mammon as the name of the Lord of Erebus. I need another name. Ideas?

I've got those covered...it's his name itself I'd change (Mammon). Maybe an alliteration: Ammon?
