Nick names for monsters

[Hama]

Do you name various creatures and then use their nick names?
My girlfriend is a genius at this, when she thumbs through my bestiaries (skipping any entry with more then 4 legs) My two favorites are:

Redneck dragon for the jabberwock
Midget stripper for the brownie

Popcorn for Halflings. Because that's what they are for giants.

We called one Plant-Bear-Pig. I don't know which monster it was, but If you play Feast of Ravenmoore then you will meet the Plant-Bear-Pig.

So then if a halfing took as a skill craft(popcorn) would that mean he gets laid as a craft check?[/snark]

I recently bought an adventure that includes an odd cult that created zombie animals full of flower petals, that explode when they're killed. Picture animal guts and flower petals flying everywhere! I keep thinking of them as "undead pinatas".

I'm looking forward to GMing that adventure and seeing the players' reactions.

To be fair though, we've only encountered them three times, so our general attitude towards this particular monster may change.*

*We'll likely have to start making up new expletives, honestly.

This guy has been our "Native American furry gay pride mascot on acid" for years. D&D 3.5 had some seriously awful monster concepts.
