   Justisaur to All   
   The irreverent guide to D&D pronunciatio   
   24 Nov 25 10:24:44   
   
   From: justisaur@yahoo.com   
      
   Blibdoolpoolp - "BLIP-idy - ''bloop" Pronounced no so much speaking but   
   making water drop/air bubble noises, the 'idy' sounding like an echo of   
   the 'blip' and a long pause before the 'bloop'.   
      
   Otyugh - "Oh-t'-yukh" The "Oh" is like when you get fart bombed in an   
   enclosed space, t' is like spitting, and yukh is a more gurgly yuck, and   
   it must be pronounced with a look of extreme disgust, and may include   
   holding your nose.   
      
   Neo-Otyugh - is pronounced as the above proceeded by "NO!", "Naw", or   
   "N'eew" recoiling in an exclamative protest against the smell.   
      
   Juiblex - "Gooey-Blekh"   
      
   Ixitxachitl - "EE-vil-Man-tah-ray"   
      
   Bulette - "La'and-sha'ark." "Michael Boobley" or "Bull-et" are also   
   acceptable.   
      
   Svirfneblin - "Sven-*'EFFIN'*-bling" or "SMURF-Nebb-Lynn." "Smurf" for   
   short.   
      
   Maglubiyet - He prefers to go by "Lou." His enemies call him "Maggie"   
   but his mamma calls him "Maggie-Louie-eye-ette" when he's in trouble.   
      
   Asmodeus - "Dee" to his friends, "Moe" to his enemies, but his mamma   
   calls Him "Ahz-Moe-Dee-Us" when he's in trouble.   
      
   Sahuagen - "ahWOOOgaa" as an old timey cartoon siren noise they make   
   looking at beautiful women with their eyes popping out, or "Sha'ark-me'en"   
      
   Asimar - "Ahss-Ihmar" all short vowels. No comment.   
      
   Yuan-Ti - "WantTea"   
      
   Catoblepas - "Cammel-toe-*BLEEP*-us"   
      
   Chimera - "Chimmi-CHONGa"   
      
   Kuo-toa - same as "Kowtow"   
      
   Xvart - "EE'vile-SMURF"   
      
   Drow - "D'row" like cow with a d' in front. Sometimes "Duh-row" with the   
   row sounding like a cat noise, "Purple People," "Spider 'effers," "Bad*   
   Elves" *Bad being replaced with Evil, Rotten or Whip with equal frequency.   
      
      
   ------   
      
   I'm starting to go off the rails here, time to stop.
