Trying to name a monster.

I'm trying to name a monster but I keep drawing a blank. I plan to make him with a rehash of my behemoth rules. This is what he basically looks like.

The idea is that he'll be some ancient long forgotten god's or demon lord's creation/pet. Maybe an eons old primordial beast, older than most modern gods. This guy's also about 40 feet tall and at least twice that long, not including the horns.

To give it a really ancient feel, I'm thinking a Sumerian type name, such as Humbaba / Huwawa, Asag / Assaku, or Utukku.

While the Fred suggestion is essentially the beginning and end of the joke, I'd be remiss without adding the name Fluffy to the proceedings. :D

I'm also thinking about modeling Humbaba's creator off of either Cecelyne or Malfeas in terms of powers, personality and portfolios, just not quite in terms of scale.

If only he came from a time and place where that was common. It would have saved me some time. Now I'm starting a seperate Humbaba origin/personality thread.

I've changed my mind, he'll be known as Gugalanna, The Bull of Heaven.
