Gaggle of geese, pod of whales... eyefull of beholders? [Archive] - Wizards Community

Ok, heres a new little game for giving names to groups of D&D monsters.

I know that there is a name for naming groups (a murder of crows?!) but it escapes me at this moment. What I'll do is start out with the name for a group of a certain monster, and then below it I'll give the name of another monster and the person below me names it and gives their own to be answered and so on and so forth. Also, if you think you have a really 'great' idea for the one the person above you answered, put your additional idea as well.
Try to make these realistic, and try not to do common usages like a 'flock of rocs' or 'a herd of centaur'. Something original that rolls off the tongue ;)

In 2e Spelljammer, there was an entire planet that had three main lifeforms: illithids in the underground, some giant lizard things, and multiple tarrasques to feed upon them. The rest of the world was dead because of the tarrasques.

Dire corbies are evil birdmen. Imagine a big anthropomorphic raven, with arms instead of wings, though.

I'd say a croak of slaadi, but salad could go if there are mixed types of slaadi.

Actually, it's Ixitxachitl, it doesn't terminate in -tal but in -tl.

For pronounciation, you'll find it's much more easy when you replace the x and ch by how they're supposed to sound. (I.E., in most European languages, the x is supposed to sound like "gz" or "ks", but when transcribing old Latin-American words into the latin alphabet, weirdly, the x is used for the "sh" sound.

In fact, it is "Ishi tsha kittle". Do not write it in a single word, the boards' censor filter would not like it.
