Name That Pet: Korrupted’s Undead Boar
Final Name: Frankenswine
Korrupted, hunter and frequent visitor, writes:
I recently tamed one of the Undead Boar from Eastern Plaguelands (I love how they charge. It rocks.) … but my naming skill have apparently vanished for a while.
I always use names that have meanings. My 70 Aqua Tiger (rare spawn Rak’shiri) is Avalanche, due to the cold. I have a Crab (Rare spawn Crusty the Red Crab) is Cakes. I’ve had Leviathan the snake. But this one … is difficult.
If anyone can help me find a good name for this guy, I want to keep him! Anything that has to deal with him beind undead … or Mythology … anything Fantasy-ish. Here’s a picture!

Go with “Ribsy”. I always thought boars should have vaguely cute names.
i think “NoEyes” is a great name for the undead boar. :)
Husk?
Porksaken?
Baconator?
“guina” (Elvish for undead, and by coincidence looks like ‘guinea’)
Altakarka (”Big Tusk”)
Wikipedia has an interesting section on boar mythology.
The Norse “Hildesvini” for ‘Battle Swine’ seems kind of appropriate.
Spoiled
ToughJerky? you know, after the food
FrankenFurter?
FrakenSwine?
I agree with Spoiled, great name :D maybe porkchops?? OOO Frakenswine is also good!!!
In the ‘undead’ theme, how ’bout Porktergeist?
I’m partial to “TipperGore” as a boar name… but that’s just me.
Frankenswine fa show!!!
All boars should be names MsPiggy. Thats what I use.
Carisma=Latin for charge
Baconstein
“Frankenswine” is great! ?No one has suggested “Rancid” yet . . .
My other half named her plagues swine
“Mouldy”
Also applicable.
BadPorkRoll
Samonella
BadBacon

Porkchop
felpork
(thats a demon boar not undead)

porkilicious
I used to have one named Toht, after the creepy guy in Raider’s of the Lost Arc who’s face got melted. It also happens to be similar to the German word for Death “Tod”
Mooyang.
Means “Roast Pork” in Thai.
Hmmm, i like frankenswine, that was a great suggestion.
But how about…
Trichinosis
Wormy
Zomboar
Hampire
Hambone
Oh… how about Lokuloku? The unbreakable pig toy from Japan. It kinda has something in common with your Plagued Swine pet.
How about panic? I named my boar (bellygrub) panic cuz you kinda panic when you get charged lol. Or maybe Hades, the god of the underworld from greek mythology.
Oinkinator.. the terminator of boars
Boaring :P cause so many ppl got boars ?
Boaromir imo
Hey Kor, hehe.
Well for a name…
Cat, because most hunters have that name, hehe, maybe not fantasy-ish though… perhaps Socket? Rothoof? Rotsnout? Fester? Porkpox (pox from Polashuzz).
Hehe.
Bones
Frankenswine is too cute to pass up. Thanks a bunch Guys ^_^..oh and HI RYNO!! <3 Thanks Mania!
Rasher - the British word for a serving of bacon
I had one for a time when they first came out.
Its name was Forsaknbacon
;-)
Piglette. Get a friend w/a diseased bear named ‘Pouh’.
Well, i have that pet to, lvling atm ;) i named mine “Særimne” which is the boar in valhall that they eat every day and gets reborn the day after so they can eat it again. i find it a fitting name for a undead boar ;)
Apollo, greek god of the sun, cause your boar looks so sunshiney! =)
KHRYSAOR (or Chrysaor) was a son of the Gorgon Medousa. He was usually represented as giant, but may also have been conceived of as a winged boar, just as his twin brother Pegasos was a winged horse.
Torc is the Gaelic name for boar.
The Norse fertility god Freyr had a wild boar called Gullinbursti meaning ‘Golden mane’. Its bristles glowed in the dark, illuminating his path. Freyr’s sister, Freya rode her boar Hildesvini (’Battle Swine’) into battle.
Ysgithyrwn - a mighty wild boar in Celtic legend.
Spider!!
(Spiderpig! Spiderpig! whover knows what a spiderpig does…)
How about Plagued, or Fester? :)
Since I never used it, I am going to give you the ultimate name for your pet.
Rottingham
(Robin Hood: Men in Tights)
I always name my boars Porkchop xD
Since your name is Korrupted, how about “Purified?” XP
I had an undead boar for a time on my tauren huntress, Swiftclaw. Wanting to go with more of an RP name, I finally chose “Plaguehoof”.
I’d named a boar I once had as “Pigmatix”. Asterix/Obelix fans anyone?
OtherWhiteMeat
*Pumba* of course
Zomboar , !!!
“Soul”
His body may be dead, but his Soul will keep on living..
I had that boar, traded him for a Razzashi Serpent though.
Deathtusk? Since, well, its with the undead theme
I love FRANKENSWINE :)
pig name: I have only really once had a pig for an extended period of time. I called him Porkchop.
UnholyHam?
Crackling? (my fave part of a pork roast)
Still, Frankenswine is the best.
I would call him “Moribund”.
Volund, the name of the smith in norse lore.
Kakulukiya — Asterix and Obelix.. Haven’t read one of those in a while. I will have to get out the stash again^^
I do love reading those.
From the japanese anime movie Princess Mononoke, the boar God - Okkoto!!
Zombiechops
Bad pun but haw about Boarneo? xP
how*
got my spelling is wiggity wack tonight…
see? my spelling sucks tonight…Dx
To go with ‘korrupted’, how about….’Fel’? As in fel energies. Those have corrupted many. Plus, it sounds neat.
For the undead theme, Frakenswine is for the win. I say that name should be the winner. Well done Kanaan
How Aboud something retarded?
I used Gobbles, after the retard turkey pet timmy has in one of the southpark episodes, i know its not anything mytholical but it rly suits the “no thinking”style of the boar and it sounds rly great, im gonna get the sound track of timmy yelling gobbles and try to replace the charge sound so u hear it when he charges :P, just say it a few times out loud its rly nice :P
“(On)Dood Varken” which basically means (un)dead pig in Dutch :P
Personally I also like Eurylochos, Kirke or Aiaia. WARNING! Long explanation coming up:
As we all know Odysseus was sailing around the Mediterranean sea, not knowing where to go. He and his desperate crew went ashore on the island of Aiaia hoping to find food and water. Odysseus sent twenty-three men to explore the island but only one returned. As the men walked from the beach they could hear sweet singing from Kirke’s home in a forest glen. Wild lions and wolves (drugged by Kirke) came, wagging their tails, to greet the strangers. They were charmed by her beauty and drank the potions she offered as refreshment. As Kirke’s vile drugs took effect, the once valiant men began to change shape and were soon fully transformed into swine. Kirke herded them into pens and threw pig food on the ground before them.
The sole survivor, Eurylochos, ran back to Odysseus and urged that they set sail immediately. He told the story of the evil goddess and how they would all be turned into swine if they dared to stay on that dangerous island (his warnings unfortunately took on the air of cowardice… Odysseus almost killed him for it). Odysseus was not afraid. He would not leave his men as swine and he would not risk any of the other men in a fight with Kirke. Odysseus went to Kirke’s palace alone.
Along the trail, Odysseus met Hermes (the messenger of the Immortals) in the guise of a young man. Hermes told Odysseus that he could entrap Kirke and free his companions if he obeyed the gods orders. Hermes reached down and pulled a plant called ‘moly’(’Molos’ thank you very much. What a bad translation -.-) from the ground and explained that mere mortals found it difficult to dig-up but he, as a god, could do all things. Odysseus took the ‘good medicine’ and went boldly into Kirke’s house. She welcomed him as another victim and gave him her vile potions but the ‘good medicine’ gave Odysseus protection. When Kirke thought the drugs had taken effect, she struck Odysseus with her wand. The wand was supposed to complete the transformation process but Odysseus drew his sword and sprang upon her. The astonished Kirke surrendered instantly. She released the twenty-two pig-men and ceremoniously anointed them with another one of her potions. The men were restored to their original forms but they were taller and more handsome than before they had been enswined.
So there you have my suggestion :)
Qopzeep you freak =D
I called my boar Marrow, for his favorite food :). May be fitting for your undead boar too.
deadmeat
Hehehe, um, guys? Just so you know, I think she chose Frankenswine at about comment 26. :P
But I know I love reading all the suggestions if I ever get one myself, so it’s cool to keep them coming.
Whoops — I missed that myself. Thans, Yvelle.
Glad the winning name was already chosen. Undead creatures lend themselves to so many freaky names!
Of the above I like Rottingham and deadmeat.
Frankenswine is awesome, but you could also call it Mary as one step more obscure. Mary Shelley was the author of Frankenstein.
I might pick up one of these on my hunter. If I do I’ll probably call it Spam… that stuff’s been dead a LOOOONG time!
Mania, would you ever consider going through these comments and adding the suggested names as an extra link available on petopia’s pet family pages? Go to petopia, chose a pet family, pick a skin you like, and get suggested names all at one place!
I have the exact same boar as you..named it BoinkBoink..before i named it that I though of naming it Meatshield =)
Apporiton, excuse my crappy spelling
okokok…i may get LOTS of good and bad responses to this, but name it NotoriousPIG. i came up with this a lil while back, and need to use it somewhere, so have at it if u want, and enjoy.
