Basilisks - Vasyuki, Great Basilisks - New Vasyuki
After the demons (I don't even remember the name) - Zhopocheosy


To summon elementals during a battle - to "v...bat govna."
A tedious fight with slow monsters, where you have to wait, attack, and run away - "Disco."

I'll add more as I remember something.

I play with a girl, and we have our own little system:
*birds - rocs, griffins, phoenixes, harpies, wyverns, sometimes swamp dragonflies
*dog-like creatures - goblins, riders, cerberuses
*girls - nagas, medusas, ghosts
*boys - elves, archers, orcs
*lizards - lizards and basilisks
*horses - centaurs, unicorns
*dopes - pegasuses
*skeletons - bone dragons and spectral dragons

I think that's all.

I always called the dragonflies from the swamp "worms".

I always called those creatures hippos :) because in *The Restoration of Erathia* they were called hippos.

I also call monsters "hippos." In some early version of the game, they were actually written as "Begemots" :D And I call fairies "pixels" :D
