If I may make a small suggestion, since Nimsain’s breed is both poison and bug related, “Attercop” is an old English word for spider, directly translated to “Venom Head.” May be a good starting point.

*happy gasp*

My doods, thank you! I appreciate the suggestion! I’ve been struggling a lot just because all the translated words I normally mish-mash together, or irish/nordic mythology beasts haven’t been felt right. All the words rolled of the tongue too nicely, too smoothly. I wanted something uneasy and sharp, ending with an almost snap, but still have some meaning behind it. 

I often forget to check other cultures and lore outside the celtic ones, and that suggestion is really awesome! If I end up messing around with it, I hope you’re comfortable enough to come forward so I can properly credit you! If not, thank you so much for your kind suggestion!
