explosion/disease/sadness - to shit oneself

Exactly, based on the animation and sound, the explosion is essentially someone shitting themselves! :D A real explosion should look completely different (like the drawing in a spellbook)!
I don't have many nicknames of my own. I call Gorgons "cows," Centaurs "Kents," and Minotaurs "Mentonaurs." :)
If I remember anything else, I'll add it later.

A real explosion should look completely different!

Imagination, based on the fantasy literature read, allows one to imagine the "explosion" spell as inflating creatures to a critical state, in which they burst. In my opinion, it's done similarly.
In my opinion, the most informative and useful post for beginners, for whom the topic seems to be created, was Averna's post. After that, everything else can be safely considered as off-topic. I'm not very interested in finding out what someone calls a wyvern or lizard; a few examples are enough, but what GO, ramp-up, or split are – that's really valuable information.
In light of the above, I suggest closing the topic.

earth elementals - potatoes.
water elementals - herring.
golems - linoleum.
demons - goat-legged demons.
cerberuses - puppies.
unicorns - ponies.

our modest community (around 7-10 people, depending on the time of year) also uses some of its own slang.

Arch, also known as bearded guys

Didireds - well, that's obvious. I especially remember a game with 4 dwellings of dendroids. There were many of them. "I'll didired you now"

Goblins - old ladies (they look like neighbors at a country house)

Stocky - air/storm. Well, everyone understands the stocky American))

A rider named Perdy - dreadknights

Bears - Behemoths

Crunchies – skeletons. :)

Fire elementals are supermen (they fly because that's how it is). Magic elementals are strippers (I read it somewhere in this thread, and now I can't stop thinking about it. I laugh every time they attack).

In general, it's a fun topic, because sometimes you read what others write, and it's like they're speaking a different language.

Heroes gathering resources and everything else: scouts, explorers, busybodies, riffraff, small fry – they scurry around, bustle, stand in a line (to pass the army along), etc. Main hero: dad, mom, father, matriarch, big shot, leader... Those heroes that the party decided to switch to: grandma, grandpa. To merge with golems (color, black mark) – to be beaten/battered by a LOM (a type of weapon). Crusaders – crosses Boars – pigs Grass – lawn Swamp – bog Snow – snowdrifts Stones – expanded clay, fallow land Sand – desert Mud – arable land Also, to shorten writing in reports or during communication in a chat, they often indicate, for example, in Pandora, they gave 15,000 experience points – they write 15K. If you add experience next to it, it becomes 15HOOVES.

Zombies – rhombuses
monsters – hippos
all of the first level – idiots or punks)))
except for Spearmen – cops
Copperfield Devils (because they beckon with a finger, and the upgraded ones also have sparkling eyes=)))
