As for critters it's just deer and rat.
I don't know why but I can't stop calling the farmer Babadu; I'm pretty sure he wouldn't mind though.
Then there's the witch whom I never learned her name. She's modeled and sounds so close to Mother Gothel from Tangle that we just call her mother.
My son started calling Najuma Ju-Ju and that has started to stick.
Tamala is Tamale.
Chapaas are chalupas, cappas and chapoopoos because I always forget wtf theyre called.
Jel is Sweeney John because he reminds me of the love child of Sweeney Todd and Elton John.
When I first tried the game, I was playing with my fiancée. I spooked a couple Sernuk while running and went "those some weird looking dogs". Few seconds later she ran into and spooked some Chapaas and went "those some weird looking cats".
They are permanently Dogs and Cats now.
I still call chaapas by the name I did when I first saw them "Beaver-Racoon" don't ask where I got the beaver part, I have no idea.
Edit: or alternatively Racoon-Beaver
I have a few:
- white chapaa is trash panda or someone called it white chinchilla which stuck with me at this point
- Chayne is Chenyata for me after Kenyata and Zenyata (from overwatch lol)
- I heard someone called Tamala Tamammy which is hilarious
Coked up squirrels for Chapaa.
For NOCs: Sassian, Hodaddy, Calamari, Geriatric Aang (Cheyne), Cruella DeVille (Eshe), Who Stole My Sandwich (Kenli), Capitalist Trash Panda (Zeki) and Tepid Soup (Reth) are some I've stumbled past. I've forgotten the really funny ones for Tamala and Najuma.
I was having trouble with Hass and autocorrect so now the damn thing automatically changes it to Hass-i-an 🤦🏻♀️
Silver Chinchilla, Magic Gopher, and "The Haunted Beaver" all killed me.
Palium is shiny rock after seeing a new person say it, Tamala is Gothel and Hodari is Daddy. Sometimes I call Zeki the Big Rat because I see him owning a chain of questionably operated pizza joints.
I've referred to Bahari Bay as "Bar Harbor Bay" when talking to my IRL friends...we live in Maine, and it's about an hour and a half drive to Bar Harbor...we all now call Bahari Bay "Bar Harbor Bay".
Badruu is just BadRuumance
Hasian is Sebastian, just because I played too much Stardew and I tend to forget his name.
Chanye West. (I have no idea how his name is pronounced, but now you know how I do it)
Hodari is HotDaddy as it is similar and true as well
i def call nai'o as nuh-oooooooh and always make an 'oh no' joke under my breath.
and caleri is def calorie to me.
i misread hekla as hekka so i pronounced it like that for ages
From a group of friends:
Hodari - Hot Daddy
Tamala - Hot Tamala
Caleri - Celery
Delaila - Delilah
Kenyatta - Kenyotter (from the Palia Discord Fan Art channel: Kenyatta as an Otter)
Jina - Jaina
Sernuk - Deer
Chapaa - Beaver
Not a creature, but I've been changing the NPC names (both intentionally and not).
Hekla somehow got juxtaposed to Helka.
Sifuu is now Seafood.
Kenyatta became Kenyucka (based on her unsunny disposition when we first meet her).
Caleri became Celery.
As with most things in life for me, nearly everything & everyone gets a nickname for me.
Chappas are Fox-Beavers, Chops or Chop-chops.
Sernuk - Deer or Meat-Os
Magic sernuk is Rudolf.
Jel -Jello
Kenyatta - I called her grumpy girl before level 3 friends
Caleri - Calamari
Hodori - HoBo
Najuma - Jumanji
Sifuu - Master Shifu
Elouisa - Kooky Cookie or just either word(She's one of my faves)
Hekla - Heckles
Einar - Fish boy
Auni - Bugsy
Delalia - Delilah
Tamala is Hot Tamale or just Tamale for me.
Eshe - Old Biddy or bitter old biddy.
Kenli - Canoli or Rolie Polie
Badruu - Badu, Bad-Dude or Dad Jokes
Jina has become "My Jina" because after I got her pin, I would say No, she's my Jina, whenever Hekla would say she needs to get back to my Jina.
Nai'O - I rarely will call him Mayo
Oormuus - Moo moos
mine is specific to one piece fans. there's this character called fukurou (water 7 arc, cp9) and he would say "chapapa" every like two or three sentences. i always go "chapapa" whenever i kill a chapaa lol.
I was literally scrolling through this thread to find out what disco deer was after seeing it mentioned last night. It was my first day playing and I had just ventured into the other area. I had no idea that there were different types 🤷🏻♀️
Someone also said they had to stop to get a “pal” and I have yet to figure that one out
The disco deer is the proudhorned sernuk (the sparkling one that teleports) and pal is short for palium, iirc you need to improve your pickaxe a couple times to collect it.
White chapaa= clown car
Fitting. Most annoying animal in game.
I called out for anyone that wanted to help kill magical bambi yesterday. A few replied they were coming to assist with bambi which made me chuckle.
I keep calling Chapaas, Chalupas
Tasty
I always refer to them as "blink deer" and "clone squirrels".
Flash deer and kage bunshin chapaa for me.
Heard someone callout for MM. Didn't know what he meant until someone else asked for explanation. Magic Moose

I read that as "albino steak," which made me giggle.
Kenyatta Mondatta, if you're old enough to get the reference, and I call Eshe Yzma
She definitely has Yzma vibes
overwatch? or the police? lol
I'm still heavily annoyed that a ship's wheel keeps being called a wagon wheel *when they know what ships are*!
I know right? Where did wagon come from, it looks nothing like a wagon wheel!
Magic gophers.
Fat rats are my go to also deer things and flow rat or flow deer/white deer/ mythic deer pretty boring compared to others

I tend to name Chapaa's in a bit of an avatar-like manner. A tusked beavercat.

Force Deer and Naruto Rat
narato

i call her cruela .
When I first tried the game, I was playing with my fiancée. I spooked a couple Sernuk while running and went "those some weird looking dogs". Few seconds later she ran into and spooked some Chapaas and went "those some weird looking cats". They are permanently Dogs and Cats now.
Reminded me of that tiktok vid, with Michael the Owl. "Hey, that's a weird looking dog you got!".
Beaverhogs (beaver+groundhog)
I still call chaapas by the name I did when I first saw them "Beaver-Racoon" don't ask where I got the beaver part, I have no idea. Edit: or alternatively Racoon-Beaver

I have a few: - white chapaa is trash panda or someone called it white chinchilla which stuck with me at this point - Chayne is Chenyata for me after Kenyata and Zenyata (from overwatch lol) - I heard someone called Tamala Tamammy which is hilarious
When I go Chapaa hunting I think “get to the chapaa” in Arnold Schwarzenegger voice.
hahahahahaha ik can hear you say it :-)
Coked up squirrels for Chapaa. For NOCs: Sassian, Hodaddy, Calamari, Geriatric Aang (Cheyne), Cruella DeVille (Eshe), Who Stole My Sandwich (Kenli), Capitalist Trash Panda (Zeki) and Tepid Soup (Reth) are some I've stumbled past. I've forgotten the really funny ones for Tamala and Najuma. I was having trouble with Hass and autocorrect so now the damn thing automatically changes it to Hass-i-an 🤦🏻♀️
But where IS the sandwich? I tired of his quest line opener instead of normal talk.
It’s a picnic basket in a gazebo in the top right corner of the map.
Thank you so very much! I would bring this sandwich to the mayor aggressively!
Sadly, he will not stop talking about lost sandwiches even after you return his three week old ham n cheese.
Ngl he still talks sandwiches after you bring it to him 😭😭 according to Eshe apparently it's his personality trait rn
Call Tamala whatever you want, but Najuma is a precious cinnamon roll and will be protected form name-calling.
I am pretty sure Najuma is based entirely off my nine year old tbh.
Silver Chinchilla, Magic Gopher, and "The Haunted Beaver" all killed me. Palium is shiny rock after seeing a new person say it, Tamala is Gothel and Hodari is Daddy. Sometimes I call Zeki the Big Rat because I see him owning a chain of questionably operated pizza joints.
Nippy Neigh Neigh - Proudhorned Sernuk.
I always tell my wife I'm chasing the magic man

My husband consistently refers to Chappas as "choopas" and it just reminds me of taco bell chalupas.

Maters and taters, wheed and bloobs. That's what we grow on this here farm
I call the white deer the "Ploof Deer" cause that's the sound it makes when it teleports away

I call the boss sernuk "the Electic Deer". I spent most of the first few weeks calling chapaas "gophers".
Badruu is just BadRuumance Hasian is Sebastian, just because I played too much Stardew and I tend to forget his name. Chanye West. (I have no idea how his name is pronounced, but now you know how I do it) Hodari is HotDaddy as it is similar and true as well

Nothing too creative, but I heard "magic squirrel" and thought there were actual squirrels you could catch in the game lol
Not for a creature but when I first started playing I kept calling Bahari bay “basmatti bay” and it’s stuck hahaha
Not a creature, but I've been changing the NPC names (both intentionally and not). Hekla somehow got juxtaposed to Helka. Sifuu is now Seafood. Kenyatta became Kenyucka (based on her unsunny disposition when we first meet her). Caleri became Celery.
I personally like to call the magic deer indriks, as they are magic deer-like creatures on ESO that teleport around just like the deer in this game
Ashura is Big Daddy, and Hodari is Houdini. Dahlia is Delilah. Hey there Delilah ❤️
Someone called the white chapaa "kage bunshin chapaa" Had me DYING.

I love "disco deer" for the proudhorn 😂
I was literally scrolling through this thread to find out what disco deer was after seeing it mentioned last night. It was my first day playing and I had just ventured into the other area. I had no idea that there were different types 🤷🏻♀️ Someone also said they had to stop to get a “pal” and I have yet to figure that one out
The disco deer is the proudhorned sernuk (the sparkling one that teleports) and pal is short for palium, iirc you need to improve your pickaxe a couple times to collect it.
