I think the key thing I'm going for is if I say "[blank blank]" and the players hear a short description from someone, they can figure out for themselves that they're Tazmanian Devils without me having to outright say it.
>>44868493
Dire Weasels.
Wolf-rats
Capybaras
>>44868596

>>44868717
Definitely cuddlebuns then.

Calf Shredders
Shriekers
Carrion Nesters (They've been known to sleep inside of carcasses so they can wake up to either ward off others of their kind or eat some more. Might make for a nice trap for a party every now and then if they're the sort to loot corpses.)

Come on man.
Like, a common nickname used by peasants or something.
Barbarian Rats
Make them climb trees and call them Drop Bears.
>>44870899
That implies that peasants have regularly survived meeting one.
>>44872220
>Australians think they're so badass because they have to deal with drop bears
Where I live we have drop lions.
>>44871075

>>44872236
What? Nah. Nobody survives that shit. Nobody common, at least. There's always that guy grampa's cousin's neighbor shared a beer with once. That guy was a certified badass. Well, til he ran into one of those buggers he was. Got away alive, that's better than most folk manage.
>>44868493
Vegemite Badgers.
>>44868493
"[Setting without Tasmania] devils"
Dire rats
Tasmanian devils are probably the only real dire animale
>>44872252
Australians don't have to deal with drop bears we all know how to avoid them. It's the tourists that have to deal with them.
>>44872252
arnt you more likely to be disemboweled by a kangaroos hindclaws than killed by a mountain lion?
>>44868493

Ass Maniac Devils.

This.
Or if a name is too difficult, you can always call them "The furry flesh rippers of <insert fantasy land here>".
>>44868493
Niggerbats
it kind of pisses me off that Tasmanian Devils are so psychotic, they're freaking adorable and I would totally hug one if it wouldn't end with severe bodily injury...
>>44872858
It's all the cancer. It makes them angry.

I would rather deal with a cougar or mountain lion than a bloody crocodile. At least its a mammal and I know cats but a croc is completely alien and brutal, there is no remorse.
>>44873402
Crocodile is easier to get away from once your out of the water and if they clamp their jaws without catching you. A man should be strong enough to keep them shut with his arms.
And if you have a tree nearby, well, a croc won't follow you there.
>>44873402
You think mountain lions feel remorse after killing?
>>44868493
It's pretty easy just to have a Tasman running around your setting.
>>44872252
>he believes in drop bears
Looks like someone's been taking a hit from a silk didgeridoo, mate.

>>44873128
why do the fucking slavs have a name for a near-extinct marsupial on the other side of the world in a tiny part of an english colony?
>>44873411
Mate, have you ever seen a croc in real life? They are fucking massive and quick. I would rather fight a lion and yes Ive seen them in real life too.
>>44873418
No but they are easier to relate to being a mammal than a croc is. There are more signs to look for and ways to get out of the situation.
>>44869662
>question not related to any existing threads or generals
>question nonetheless /tg/ related
OP is fully justified in starting a thread. Sorry if it bumped your FagQuest #74: Text-based Anime Soap Opera Simulator Edition out of the arse end of page 10
>>44873628
They are quick but they rely on surprise. If they don't catch you in the water you have a chance to run away far enough for the croc to decide to not bother. Or simply climb somewhere it can't go.
In most cases you're fucked either way though.

>>44868493
little fuckers
seriously, they're little assholes
>>44873628
>There are more signs to look for and ways to get out of the situation.
If the lion is going for you, then you are more fucked than if the croc goes for you. Croc does not like running around chasing monkeys. Lion will run around chasing monkeys, in a pack if it has to.
>>44873094
I love so many of these kennings, but this one is nifty.
>>44874794
Do you think fart squirrels fart defensively?
How about Komodo Dragon? What would you called them in a setting with no Komodo Island ( They are named after the island. Locals called them something else) and there are no dragons in the setting

Who died this time?
>85 replies
>not one fucker said "Fantasmanian Devils"
>>44875878
No one.
It's all gore so I won't post it but look up Devil Face Tumour cancer, due to limited gene pool Tasmanian Devils has developed a cancer that they hypodermically inject each other with in the normal course of their fights. It's kind of horrifying.
>>44873612
Soviet Russia has their own name for everything.
Giant jump rat, Long nose tire puncturing hedgehog, Pouched devil.
>>44874794
Duckpuppy and Fart Squirrel taken.
>>44876162
My favorite is that they call "Black Holes" a much more poetic and in some ways more accurate "Frozen Stars".
>>44876223
That would describe black dwarfs better though, right?
>>44873612
>Slavs
>English Colony
There's your answer to why the worst group of humans have it.
>>44875565
>Komodo Dragon
Dragon Lizard
Land Crocodile
Giant Monitor
>>44873612
It gets better: the highest peak in Australia is named Mount Kosciuszko, after a Polish national hero.
>>44868493
You could go mundane and just call them "brush devils"
>>44868493
Devils
Mastanian devil.

Frozen actually refers to time, rather than temperature, since the warping of spacetime would make make anything beyond the Schwarzschild radius appear frozen in time to an outside observer.
>>44875878
Almost all the Tasmanian Devils. They're on the edge of extinction because of transmissible cancer.
