Everything else has already been mentioned. By the way, is the "Helmet of Heavenly Grace" (or something like that) called a "teapot" by everyone?:D

By the way, this is a very interesting topic. It would be useful to somehow combine all the personal humorous names into one post (I think that translations from English to Russian also fall under this category). Castle. Archers - Achers. Crusaders - Crusaders. Fanatics - fans. Champions - pony-boys. Rampart. Elves - Elves. Dryads - trees, stumps. Unicorns - horses, unicorns (although they are supposedly unicorns in English). Stronghold. Rooks - birdies. Fortress. Gorgon - cow, Moo-moo. :D Dungeon. Minotaurs - bull-calves. Manticores - lions. Tower. --- Inferno. Imp - little bug. Gog - sinners. Cerberus - doggies. Demons - bee-bee, mee-mee. Devils - devils. Necropolis. Zombies - slowpokes. Death Knights - old knights. Bone Dragons - bone-boys. :) Conjugation. Fairies - pixels. :D Air Elemental - breeze, Storms - storm-boy. Fire Elemental - little fire, Electricity - electrician. Psychic Elemental - psycho. Firebird, Phoenix - both are firebirds.

I'll add a few more from my favorite Tower:

Gremlins - galley slaves (because they are in shackles)
Golems - plain golems; stone ones - stones, statues; steel ones - scrap metal (no offense, if you apply a speed buff, they are very good warriors)
Master Djinns - genies (in English, "genie," which is quite fitting - they need to know so many spells :) )

And neutrals (there aren't many of them in this topic):

Snipers - sharpshooters
Boars - wild boars
Fabled Dragon - dragonfly (because of its wings)
Rusty Dragon - acid spitter (it spits acid)
Emissaries (from WoG) - missionaries
