How bloodthirsty beast names are made

Names for the Bloodthirsty Beast are given by the people it frightens, not by the animal, so they sound like farm talk. The palette is low and clipped: dark vowels such as o and u, stopped consonants like k, g, d and t, and a rasp of s or sh for the frost. Most names run one or two syllables. A second word, when there is one, is an epithet taken from the hide, the season it hunts, the field it haunts or the damage it leaves, such as a color plus a body part. Some names are old saint's or feast names worn down by generations of muttering until only a blunt stub remains.

Farmers avoid anything grand, since a title feels like flattery and flattery feels like an invitation. They also avoid names that rhyme with their own children or dogs, and no one names the Beast aloud after dusk. Older sightings earn longer, more bitter names; a young or newly reported animal gets a plain nickname that may change by the next harvest. Example shapes: a hard one-syllable stub, a color plus a body part, a worn feast name with the ending chewed off.
