@abubblegum I've got one!Do you know which creature's head is featured on the chit-chat forum icon?https://static.eggcave.com/forums/icons/chit-chat.pngThat's actually the Baistay! It was redrawn in 2015 due to looking too much like a Digimon. The forum icon was never changed.

I have found a fact too! 😊 @o_o, did you know that the word Gadfly, also a creature on Eggcave, means an annoying person? Oh, and I have never realised what creature the Chit Chat forum icon was!

@abubblegum Interesting! I've got one more for you. This one may be know by everyone already, but eh.. 😋Ever notice that the Essence of Litsdnats (the freeze) is Essence of Stand Still, just spelled backwards?

@o_oThe creature Odon likely gets it's name from Odonata, an order of insects that encompasses dragonflies and damselflies.I'm sure there's a meaningful origin behind the name of every creature but this is one i recognize XD

@zx-metalmonsterAnother etymology example: the Daisypus comes from Dasypus, a scientific term for certain armadillos.

This is not that exciting but it took me a surprisingly long time to realize these:Tenalp = planet backwords Nogar Ragon is a palindrome! (So Nogar backwards is Ragon, Ragon backwards is Nogar :'D) I've noticed a lot of etymology examples over the years that I can't remember now.

Ooh! And another obvious one is tidnab is bandit backwards.

@wigglytuffYeaaahThe Ami probably got its name from the French word Ami. Lycire is Lycan (werewolf or wolf I think) and Fire mashed together.:'D

The Manticore is a Persian mythological creature.

I think everyone already knows this but a Chimera is a mythical creature with the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a snake.@ammolite A lycanthrope is similar to a werewolf I believe.Also, lycaon is a genus of canid, and it contains only one existing species: the African Wild Dog. They look kinda similar to Lycires?
