I must confess that the disease names (Marfan, Asperger, Tourette) Or
the beast names (Dragicorn, Chupacabra, Woodwoose, Barmanou), are rather
out of place... Especially the disease one... If you take into account
what each of these syndromes affects, what's the message?. Since
Werewolf, seems like mythic fauna has been set as a theme, of these new
names I like Dragicorn the best, as the others have rather... odd
associations (do we really want to link Fedora to a 'Sasquatch' or
'hominid' ape? Not to mention to the bloodsucking 'Chupacabra'?). The
heroic character Chingachgook could be good name, but are we the last of
our kind? Wouldn't 'Kingsport Town' infringe on copyrights due to the
Song of the same name (by Bob Dylan for the curious)? And what's the
reasoning behind the Mayonnaise name, anyway? I don't see Fedora being a
'condiment' of any sort.
