* The ''Literature/MalazanBookOfTheFallen'' has Anomander Rake, the Son of Darkness, Lord of Moon's Spawn, Mane of Chaos, Bearer of Dragnipur, Knight of High House Dark, Blacksword, Black-Winged Lord, Slayer of the Elder God Draconus and Lord of the Tiste Andii. {{Justified}} because he is all of those and he did all of that stuff.

* ''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.

* ''Fanfic/TheRodSquad'' has "The Enemies Of All That Is Good", a [[TheGroup Group]] emphasized by a noun and taken up to eleven by sheer obviousness. Their goal is to destroy {{Disco}} music in favor of [[FolkMusic Folk]] and CountryMusic by staging a Disco Demolition Night. (This is a PeriodFic that takes place in TheSeventies, in case you haven't guessed this much yet.)

* In ''WesternAnimation/AtlantisMilosReturn'', the third (and arguably [[EnsembleDarkhorse the]] [[EvilIsCool best]]) villain is called[[TheSagaOfErikTheRed Erik]] '''HELL'''strom. Switching the letters around a bit, one can also [[MeaningfulName read]] "Hell-storm" in his name, which… isn't exactly better… and is also quite close to [[ApocalypseHow his goal]].

Disambiguation


* [[VideoGame/YggdraUnion Gulcasa, Emperor of Carnage]]. That he goes around riding a dragon and twirling a SinisterScythe is bad enough, but he's an Emperor in a Japanese RPG (which is almost always bad), and Carnage, well, speaks for itself. Add to this that he's also referred to as Blazing Emperor, that his personal skill is named [[KillEmAll Genocide]], and that he is a direct descendant of the evil dragon [[SealedEvilInACan Brongaa]]... yeah. People actually run away as soon as they hear his name in-universe.\\

** Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka sounds as scary as he is, with added [[FunetikAksent K's]], [[RuleOfCool Kool letterz]], and [[UpToEleven improved difficulty pronunciation]]. Also helps that the "Mag Uruk Thraka" part means "I am Slaughter".

* Another LukeNounverber example comes with Nounverber-style titles for all Dungeoneering bosses in ''VideoGame/RuneScape''. There are bosses with names like Plane-freezer Lakhrahnaz, Shadow-forger Ihlakhizan, Night-gazer Khighorahk, Flesh-spoiler Haasghenahk, To'Kash the Bloodchiller, Har'Lakk the Riftsplitter, Bal'Lak the Pummeller, and the behemoths don't really lack in the threatening name department either. 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. Due to the Stalkers being TheUnpronounceable, and attempts at pronouncing these often resulting in lots of [[BlackSpeech guttural sounds]] certainly doesn't detract from the value.
