I need a name for a villain. He is extremely large (about two hexes) he has massive ammounts of strength, and a negative INT. For his name, I was thinking of having his name be a big word that he does not know the meaning to. I have had some other ideas on the name as well, such as M because, "It is the prettiest letter of the alphabet." There should definitely be some humor value to the name.

Ideas?

Trex, because he read somewhere Trex was the king of the dinosaurs.

Sesquipedalian.

(it's a big word, and he's got big feet, see?)

(or: Hippopotamonstrousesquipedalian)

I'm also thinking of Holdernesse. Holdernesse is the name of the village in the Friar and Summoner's tale from Canterbury Tales.

Feet sinking into the straining pavement beneath him, the gargantuan combatant fixed his beady-eyed stare upon the frightened camera crew on top of the parking deck. He draws himself up, one hand placed upon his hip in his best dramatic pose and boldly declares, "I... AM... MANOPAUSE!"

Something like that, Squirrel?

"Heyoo", cuz people always sez "Heyoo, c'mere a minute."

"Ox". Becasue two letters is all he could manage.

"Duh scientists callz me Pb and sez dats what means "Lead" on duh idiotic table of elemements. He sez I'm smart as Lead."

A negative INT? Are you sure he'd even be able to remember a big word? :rolleyes: Interesting idea, as long as you don't mind him trying to make an INT roll every time he has to make a decision on his own.

Whoever controls him might commonly refer to him by a perjorative term which he would take as his name, such as "Brute," "Oaf" or "Troll."

If you do want a big word, how about "Gargantua?" It was good enough for a real gorilla, so why not a metaphorical one.

For something a little different, he could have watched a popular fantasy film and adopted the name of the character he most identified with: "Fezzik." ;)

Oh, man ... this looks like a fun one.:D

I'd be tempted to give him a partner with an impossibly low DEX, who is a total klutz, thusly creating the team of:
Thud And Blunder.

Though, if you want something that starts with M, I'd be tempted to suggest 'Moron', with a negative INT.:eek:

Mattock?

Bob the Nagging. This is what he heard when his mentor called him "Brobdignagan".
