Hello all!

Thank you for the feedback. The "loverly" in question here is not a typo (though I have been known to make many), nor was it intended to be the adjectival form of "lover." It is, in fact, a Cockney pronunciation of the word "lovely" (see the Oxford Dictionary of Modern Slang). While I can most certainly understand the confusion (I, for one, would never take a ladybug lover), I believe we are going to stick with the current spelling.

Thank you again!

While I understand that it is a slang word, why was it used in this instance in a mid-level leve quests? I can't think of many other slangily named critters in leve quests. Wouldn't these slang words be better suited for rarer monsters? Just my opinion/thoughts about the matter. It will become cumbersome if every word you use has a double meaning in some unheard of dialect. In a recent post, it was said that more often than not, the North American English will be used over the Queen's English, so why use such a confusing word on a less meaningful monster?

Edit: And before anybody calls my post something negative, it is just an inquiry to the process of the localization team. I major in English and love the language. I like special uses of special words, but only specifically if it is a special occasion. But also not especially on specific special occasions either. As said, just an inquiry!
