Maybe Sup Forums can help me with this. I'm currently working on a game and I've made a rigged 3D model and several animation cycles for pic related. Only problem is, I can't come up with a good name for this guy.

Any ideas for a name? It's going to be a standard simple enemy in an action game.

What's the desl with the guy? Is he an alien or a monster or what? Give us context.

shingle

why is this guy not the main character?
also his name is Fatherton

Not going to lie, that is cute as fuck.

Maybe name him Squirmy? Sounds like squid and he looks like he moves a lot.

Zats
Zorts
Zorps
Zogs

Inkarus

Rimanah

Squirt or little Jimmy

That's pretty good, except for the fact the shingles is when chickenpox reactivates in the body. I've had it, it's painful and gross.

It's going to be a spirit monster-type thing, sort of like what heartless or dreameaters are from Kingdom Hearts. Fights back when provoked or threatened, otherwise peaceful.

Peenus Weenus

Scroops

Dios Volt

Pako

Squip

Mika

Ika means squid and
>Fights back when provoked or threatened
It's meek

What is the mark on its head from?

Hyro
He reminds me of the hat worn by the figure in the Heirophant tarot card.

yato

Squarf

Either of these has my vote

Call it small squid ref.

I suggest themes for the naming of all enemies. Either phonetic, syllabic, or referential.
For the art style I recommend something phonetically cute, syllabically short, and referentially funny. This guy should be named pope.

Despicable Me Minion

Sorry I ruined it for you

Made me laugh, this is good

I wrote it, and I think it sounds the best

plus it can be single and/or plural forms for the mob. sick. hire me.

OP here, there's actually some pretty great names here! I'm writing down lots of these and I'll probably see how I feel about it later, I don't think I can make a snap decision about this.

I should have clarified, these guys are going to be in groups, it's not a unique enemy. If that makes any difference.

Thanks man!

I'm going to have it be the symbol for that specific "tribe" of monster, there are other guys I'm working on that have similar marks.

This doesn't ruin anything for me to be honest. I personally hate minions, but kids like them because they're simple and cute. Cute things appeal to people so I figured I'd give it a shot. I was thinking more about things like Pikmin and Kirby when animating and making this guy.

Since they're squird you should really keep it accurate and give eightbtentacles and two legs. It's cute but to be cute AND accurate is going above and beyond.

I like it though user, good job. I wouldn't even want to hurt these guys.

Topa
Squal
Tento
Marcin
Tep
Inka
Mon

I'd go for something simple yet original. Maybe Squirmo? Or

here are some anagrams for "this guy"
Gushy It
Gushy Ti
Gutsy Hi
Gusty Hi
Guys Hit
Guy Hist
Guy Hits
Guy Shit
Guy This
Hug I Sty
Ugh I Sty
Gut Shy I
Tug Shy I

here's also a name that's comprimised of the first letters of some of the words you wrote and I think it fits pretty well, I get a sort of Kalamari vibe from it
