Ok so I'm new at this story writing thing and I have a creature but have NO IDEA what i should name it and I need some opinions for it.
This creature of mine:
1.looks humanoid
2.have a somewhat grayish skin colour
3.grew horns
4.horns glow in the dark
5.have fangs
6.Males have tail/tails and a pair of wings
7.Female have tail/tails only
8.actually look very different even if they're the same kind because they all have unique features
9..are man eating creatures
10.Each individual possesses some psychic abilities
11.likes to scare people or torment them before feasting on their flesh
Any opinions or suggestions is much appreciated.
Thanks for stopping by.

What I like to do when I need to name a creature is to find a bunch of different creatures from mythologies/legends, I mostly avoid Norse, Roman and Greek ones since i personally find them very overused in stories and lean more towards African, Asian and Southern America legends. The creatures themselves don't exactly need to be similar to your own creature either way just find a bunch that sound interesting (maybe they could inspire you to have more details if you think it is a bit plain but honestly I think your creature is pretty awesome!)
Anyways when you get I'd say 4 names minimum, go into a couples name generator an fuse them together. You obviously don't need to use the exact name but its a very good place to start.
Another easier one is if you find a creature name that you like just add or take away a few letters. I have creatures called Cheras in my own story and I based the name off of Cherufe which is a lava monster from Chile.
I hope this wasn't confusing and I helped at least a bit!
This sounds kind of like a cross between a Fury, a Greek monster, and a Ghoul, which in my opinion is a very good mix. what do you think about a Nevis, or Loduilae?
