Rust monster name?

[ZanzerTem]

One of my ettins has a pet rust monster who he wuvs sooo much. But, I cant think of a good name he would give the little guy. Ideas? Has to be something a boneheaded Ettin would think up.

[Lamontius]

one head calls it Crusty and the other calls it Flaky

[Lincoln Hills]

Snuffles!
Ziggy!
Bunny! (Ettins don't have Knowledge (nature), do they??)
Any name with the wrong gender honorific attached, i.e. Mr. Nibbles for a female rust monster or Miss Kitty for a male!

Rusty seems like the obvious choice :)

[Ganryu]

I approve of Rusty. Was going to suggest it myself but got ninjad by Are :D

[pennywit]

Pair your Ettin with a hobgoblin named George.

"Tell me about the rust monsters, George."

[darkwarriorkarg]

Name: Flee

Why? Because it's what the giant hunters yell out when they see it.

Definitely.

I had a dog named Rusty once too, so it's not unheard of as a pet name even disregarding puns.

Rusty is on my list, but it seems too obvious for an ettin. I like tickles too for some unknown reason.

Whenever I've presented a 'domesticated' rust monster in my campaigns, I've based its behavior patterns on certain Labrador retrievers I have known. I've often said to my PCs, "Remember - the rust monster is the only monster in the Bestiary that doesn't hate you. In fact, it loves you, just as a dog would love a man who was wearing armor made of bacon!"

(You may also find inspiration for rust monsters at www.rustyandco.com - an odd comic but it has its moments.)

perfect name, and exactly how an ettin would think: If everybody yells FLEE when they see it, than that is probably it's name

And if it's smart enough to be trained to recognize its name, it'll come when people call it! :D

While I really like Flee, I would say that each head should name him something different.. then do things like have one head command 'Flea' to 'come', then have the other head when noticing him following be surprised and say 'Flo, STAY!'.

The collar should be leather with a destroyed/eaten metal tag...

-James
PS: Full name would be 'Flea Fly/ Flo Flom'
