One important aspect of naming creatures is [onomatopoeia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onomatopoeia) and [ideophone](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideophone) - the name should give an impression of what the creature _is_. For example: - A _buruk_ can sound like a large, powerful, lumbering beast - _Fleep_ may give the impression of a small, flying rodent.
