Less ridiculous names for SR: German Options

[raben-aas]

So, to get productive and to provide future generations of SR authors with a ready resource of less-ridiculous names, let's pool some ideas. And if you are an author or just a fan that is looking for yet anouther Boschist Krautesque Evil Zounding German Name, feel free to post it and let the DS guys who are from Germany decide if the name is utter crap or not.

For starters, here are some names for military stuff(mostly) military stuff, just named after critters (all real canonical German critter names):

– Todesklapper (Deathrattle)
– Hundsviper (Dog Asp)
– Nachtmanta (Night Manta, listed here because you should NOT use it, as a Manta is a well known/laughed at type of car)
– Teufelshecht (Devil Jack Diamond, the name has a little outdated ring to it, as a "Teufelskerl" and a "Toller Hecht" are/were names for brave/crazy soldiers and other "heroes" who had success against all odds)
– Teufelsmanta (Devil Fish, see "manta" above)
– Torpedohai (torpedo shark)
– Dämonenratte, Teufelsratte (demon rat, devil rat)
– Fenriswolf (fenrir wolf, a GREAT name for any kind of military vehicle)
– Höllenhund (hellhound, another great name)
– Hornbär (horned bear, could be the name of a heavily armored, dead-ugly tank or transport)
– Nebelluchs (Mist lynx, should be the name of a tank as German panzers have a tradition of being called Luchs, Leopard etc.)
– Schattenhund (shadow hound)
– Taliskatze (talis cat)
– Augentöter (Eyekiller, maybe a name for a sniper rifle)
– Dämmereule (Gloaming Owl, maybe a name for a drone)
– Donnervogel (Thunderbird, most def. a vectored thrust vehicle or a jet)
– Feuervogel (Firebird, maybe a lighter variant of the Donnervogel by the same manufacturer)
– Schreckhahn (Cockatrice)
– Sturmkrähe (Storm Crow, should be an "advance position" (recon) vehicle as storm crows announce the soon arrival of a storm (main attack force or bombing))
– Merlinfalke (Merlin Falcon, a fast and maneuverable attack plane/jet ore drone)
– Novaskorpion (Nova scorpion)
– Krake (Kraken)
– Kludde (yeah, that one)

Please ignore all names that have been already used, I didn't check my books first.
Other naming ideas:

– Hellebarde (Halberd)
– Streitkolben (Mace)
– Streitaxt (Combat Axe)
– Morgenstern (Morning Star)
