So my friends and I are talking about starting a new campaign featuring an adventuring guild/mercenary band consisting of the following races:
- Catfolk
- Grippli
- Kitsune
- Nagaji
- Ratfolk
- Rougarou
- Tengu
- Vanara
- Vishkanya
- possibly a few other anthropomorphic races I didn't think to include
We were hoping to get some help brainstorming some names for our group.
We're still very early in the planning stages right now, so I apologize for not having more information to guide you.
Well, first off, with a Grippli, a Nagaji, a Tengu and a Vishkanya half the party seems to be scaly/rubbery, not furry.
Some form of address that isn't 'furry' might be a viable suggestion?
Beastfolk something something
Something something Beasty Kin?

DEVO (as in "Are We Not Men? We Are DEVO!" You know, since you're Not Men.)
Monstrosity Mercs

Beastie Boys is an awesome name!
The Menagerie.
Beastie Boys sounds like an evil bandit crew and not a bunch of mercenaries.
I'd rather go with The Feral Footmen.
General rule of naming characters with hair covering their whole body, inspiration may be found in the color of their hair.
I don't know what a Rougarou is and not really sure how a Vishkanya is a furry?
Catfolk - I find Ms anything seems to work, you know how people name their cats Ms something or other. For a less comic route you could use the Kajit naming conventions from Elder Scrolls.
Grippli - Nero, is the name of am emperor who was compared to a frog according to wikipedia. Prince is another good one because of you know, prince and frog.
Kitsune - Moxxi ... rymes with foxy xD literally the first place my head went to.
Nagaji - any name with a sibilant sound. Cecile is a nice one. For some reason Persephone is sticking out. Eve is quite a biblical snake related name.
Ratfolk - no idea.
Tengu - I have one idea and its so s!$& I don't care to share xD
Vanara - Sun, Wu or Kong.
Orang-Pedank - Louis.
EDIT: I may have missed the point of this thread xD

Pet Shop Boys then? Just kidding.
Chromantic Durgon <3, we're looking for help naming the group as a whole, not its individual members.
Well, first off, with a Grippli, a Nagaji, a Tengu and a Vishkanya half the party seems to be scaly/rubbery, not furry.
Fully half of the races listed don't traditionally have fur, true (2 have scales, 1 has rubbery skin, and 1 has feathers; out of the nine total), but I wanted to get people into the thread with an interesting title, so I used an internet buzzword.
Is it a general adventuring group, or is there a more specific purpose or expertise?
We haven't decided on a theme yet, if any, other than the fact we want to all play anthropomorphous races.

Lightning Strike Coalition.
Criteria didn't say it had to be animal related.
Taxa Opportunity?
Cause you're all different species...? Across different phyla...? And searching for opportunities...?
Ok. That's terrible. I'll show myself out.

Skinwalkers would fit too.
As to a name... Ferocious Furry Freedom Fighters or if they are all girls, Ferocious Furry Female Freedom Fighters!
hmmm that's a hard one...Fur Fighters?

Pest Exterminator Bait.

Does anyone remember the New Zoo Revue?
hmmm that's a hard one...Fur Fighters?
Kung Fur Fighters? Where they as "fast as lightning"? ;)
hmmm that's a hard one...Fur Fighters?
Wasn't that a group founded by Dave Growhl?
Does anyone remember the New Zoo Revue?
ugh..the scary s~*#, they got away with showing, on t.v. in the seventies.

Hey! Don't be hatin! That's a fond childhood memory there... At least use your Evil Kjeldorn alias :)
Beastie Boys is an awesome name!
Or just, the Beastly Boys, if you don't want to be quite, so on the nose ^^ .

Hey yourself, I grew up on this kind of "entertainment": Bamses Billedbog
| 3 people marked this as a favorite. |
Court of the Hunt
Fangs for Hire
Order of the Sunset Vigil
Underleaf Mercs. Incorporated
Regiment of the Wildfyre
Unsigned Militia of Beastly Races United (U.M.B.R.A)
But my personal choice would be:
Chosen Initiates of the Mercenaries Animilia (Ch.I.Mer.A.)
The Furious Five, if there end up being five members?
The Therianthropic Alliance if you are looking for that tone.

Wow.
I somehow feel like if I could just understand that (and I don't mean language barrier issues), I would correlate the contents of my consciousness... opening up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of my frightful position therein, that I would either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age...

Eyup, basic Nordic state-run t.v. children's programming at its finest.
The Animal House maybe? Monster Squad?
(okay I'll stop using movie names)
The Menagerie.
Dublin Zoo was opened in 1831 by members of the medical profession interested in studying animals while they were alive and more particularly getting hold of them when they were dead.
So now I'm thinking there has to be inspiration there, but I sure can't find it!
The Furry Force?
It's probably best if you don't look it up on youtube.
Stop. Don't. Come back.
You are a terrible person. Leaving that out for people to find.
Even Lamashtu worshipers fear going near that.
Scions of the Wild.
"Non-Apes"
(Vanara are monkeys, they have tails.)
I feel dumb .-. should not drunk reply.
Aww...Posting while plastered is so much fun!
The amazing meowcroakowoowoinks!
Friends of Humanity.
Middle-aged Anthro Adventuring critters.
can someone come up with a funny name which forms an appropriate acronym? that'd be funny.
The Muppet Show.
Hot and Cold Running Blood.
Zoological Society.

To match the all-male Beastie Boys, the all-female Grrrls.
Friends of Humanity.
Haha, I really like this one. Acronyms could be fun too.
Mighty Morphing Power Rangers? lol.
Mercenary Animal Team Extraction/Extermination Specialists (MATES)
Friends Of Everyone (FOE)
Yeah, acronyms can be real fun.
Wild Force was a later less dinosaur one xD also sounds more animally. Which isn't a word.
Acronyms are hard .-.
Demihuman Extraction and Termination Heroes (DEATH)
Legendary Tails.
Man, there's a lot of good ones in this thread! Keep 'em coming. I'll be sure to share them all with my group.
(And keep it going even if we settle on one; this list will surely help other groups with a similar theme.)
I quite like DEATH xD imagine introducing yourself to quaint villages.
