well the most interesting is "the star spangled subligar", try googling it.

I think the mosquito monsters called "Djigga" is hilarious. Don't even know what's a djigga.

Pretty sure that this is supposed to alude to chiggers, a type of mite.

FFXI had "Chigoe", for the same reason.

Buoyant Oviform. You have Eorzean Scholars to blame for that.

Buoyant Oviform (something that has buoyancy + ovi (Latin word for egg) form). Very interesting the lengths they go to in order to make these names.

Anyone please remind me the names of Hunt monster B Rank in Hinterland for me ?

[Mykll]

I always thought it was funny, the mob Pugil. When I am grouped with a PGL I ask them if they are related.

I think throughout the course of Final Fantasy (and some other RPGs), the creators love to use European terminology for a lot of stuff. For instance, when I used to play Breath of Fire 3 and 4, I thought "Kaiser" was exclusive to that game alone. It wasn't until later I learned that a Kaiser is simply a European emperor or king. They could have called it the Mikado Dragon and had the same effect. I know in FF9, the main character's name (Zidane) is actually common in Europe, and there's a famous soccer player with that name.

I love to geek out over naming schemes, they're so fun.
