Hi everyone. I thought up some punny names for characters from the Animal-Verse, and I figured I'd share them here to give you folks a few laughs. Here's what I got:
Biomouser
Mister Foxter
The Ideelist
Ducktor Medico
Prolebeariat
Unibee
If anyone else has any others, feel free to share!
Too unfocused to come up with any good ones but i want to reminde people that Christopher and Adam did state that multipe versions of any given character can exist one for each spiecies.
so we can have dog Absolute Zero and penguin Absolute Zero
(I admit, my imagination is having trouble imagining an anthropomorphic member of the family gruidae as a musclebound hulk with a cowcatcher over its beak. But then, being bafflingly incomprehensible and existing anyway is kinda Fright Train’s overall vibe in the first place, so I think it works.)
I figured it was a pig, based on that name. Maybe there were originally Opigion and ArchGeon?
Either way, while we know that Wager Master plays along with whatever universe he shows up in, OA does not, so there isn’t a “real” Animalverse version of him; he just appears as himself and wrecks face. It might be more useful to try and figure out who his local Scions in the Animalverse are. The only blatantly obvious one being Aeon Hamster.

My earlier Fright Crane post predates the podcast episode in which C&A answered a question about Fright-Train-sized ducks and vice versa. So it definitely seems as though the fandom has settled upon Animalverse Stephen Graves (Grebes?) as being some kind of waterfowl.
Is that meant to be Crow-no-Ranger? The spelling is throwing me off.
Too generic. Also, what’s a “man” in the Animalverse? Better make him the Chairham; we know he’s a pig anyway, this is just literalizing it.
I can sort of see this in the theory that bunnies replicate in large numbers. But I think Prolebeariat is better. (Pretty sure I’m not the first to think of it.)
That’s ironic given that he started out as Boar the Butcher. (Fun fact, my hometown has an upscale restaurant called “The Butcher and the Boar”. And yes their sign has a pig on it, to represent all the barbecue pork they serve.)
