How do you pronounce this word?

Sounds something like 'vulgar-pasta'...

It sounds like "Sunshine City." Say that 5 times real fast.


Clearly, you pronounce it "The Ugly", or sometimes "The Big Ugly".

If you wanted to use it's proper name, yeah I think that vulgarpasta is pretty close.

How about Zyrxog? Zerzog? Zercksog? Squid-face?

I pronounce it Zeer-ksog.

My pronunciation problem comes from Xyzanth. Is it "eks-i-zanth", or "zai-zanth"?

Surprisingly, that's what its tendrils actually are.


I say "UL-ger-stah-stah", and yes, it sounds like Vulgar Pasta. I acutally impressed my players with pronouncing it last week when I stumbled over the name the prior week.

I spent some drive time repeating it until I liked how it rolled.

Perhaps a pronouciation guide for some of the more difficult to figure out names would be a neat idea?

Rack-kin-knee-ann anybody?


Bulgar Shasta...Like some sort of Fizzy, wheat-flavored cola made in Bulgaria....or Burger-spa!spa!, a combination fast-food/tanning salon.

Vulger Pasta is pretty much right on, with the accent on the third syllable.

ul-gur-STA-stuh

That's how I say it, anyway.
