I have come up with some real world names for certain organisims found throughout Hyrule. :D Heres a list:

Octorok=rock octopus
Chuchu=giant slime mold
Kargoroc(TP)=dragon vulture
Kargoroc(TWW)=great sea vulture
Deku Toad=bloat frog
Baba Serpent=snakeweed
Bokoblin(TP)=forest goblin
Leever=vampire cactus
Peahat=windmill plant
Dodongo(OoT)=fire lizard
Dodongo(TP)=fire gecko
Volvagia, Barba=lava dragon
Gohma=giant cyclopean spider
Magtail=lava centipede
Moblin=boar goblin
Bulbo=bull boar
Wolfos=hyrulean wolf
keese=hyrulean bat
Lizalfos=lizardmen
Helmasaur(us)=helmasaur(that one seemed pretty real world enough)
Tektite=springleg

and those are just to name a few!

If you have any ideas of real world names for zelda organisms, please post them and for which kind of creature(enemy).

Haw! ;D That was a good one!

[MagmarFire]

Heh, vampire cactus... XD XD XD Someone should totally do a comic of that. :P

[JoeLink]

What, no ideas for real world names of Hyrulean organisms? Am I the only one who has done something like this?! :o

Hello? Anyone?

[DW]

You basically said what they looked like.

[JoeLink]

Aren't most organisms named for what they look like? 8)

Can I try?  :P

[Hi no Seijin]

Um, not really.  Otherwise, American robins would be called "small black and red bird."

Octopus.  Octo = 8

Pus = cat

it's obviously just an eight-legged cat.

Wait, whut

Seriously though, to some extent animals are named after what they look like.  Bulldogs, catfish and blue footed boobies come to mind.

[JoeLink]

The term "pus" also means "foot". 8) Octopus=eight feet.

Wallmaster: Devil's hand (you know why!)
LikeLike: Elephant leech
Morpheel: King Eel
Morpha: Queen Amoeba
Biri: Storm Jellyfish
Spike: Iron Urchin
Dexihand: Limb Eel

[JoeLink]

Cool names. But I rather think of wallmasters soley as creations of Ganon, and I think Morpheel is just a hylian loach mutated by the fused shadow. But still, nice names! :)

I would love to hear the roots for the rhinoceros.

Also, that would be one gigantic loach.

[Uximadesk]

Rhino: Nose
Ceros: Horn

Simple as that.

Do wizzrobes count as creatures? Because then I would name them Phantom Hermits, IDK it just came to me, it's gotta be the late hours I'm writing
