* ''Literature/TheWitcher'': Isengrim Faoiltearna. Isengrim is the name of several wolf characters in Medieval beast epics, and also contains the words "Eisen" ("Iron" in German) and the English "grim". "Faoiltearna" is slightly mangled Irish for "Wolf Lord", adding an extra layer of wolfishness. For extra "run away", Faoiltearna also bears TheRedBaron name "Iron Wolf". Faoiltearna lives up to his name well, by being a rabid human-hating elf-supremacist, who incidentally has spent the past few decades commanding a Nilfgaardian black-ops unit known as the Vrihedd Brigade, who have a reputation for atrocities and ruthlessness.

After all, facing a giant hulking beast called the Hope devourer can cause a bit of a fright. Jagex took these titles UpToEleven and gave us ''World-gorger'' Shukarhazh.
