Last week, you helped me name Yak. This week, I need you to help me name a villain. Like my Facebook page and start naming! Enter as many times as you want and be sure to like other names, too! The name with the most likes at 12PM EDT on Friday the 13th wins! The winner will get their name added to a birthstone/monument that I will create in their honor and include with this post.

I have decided to try something different this time. I am providing a list of character traits to help guide you as you choose a name.

Character Traits

• They are directly related to the type of creature you named last week (Yak), only they do not have fur and are much taller/larger.
• They are primarily used by corporations to protect profitable resources. This includes oil, natural gas, minerals, coal, electricity, oxygen (in some regions) and blood.
• They can live for many months without food or liquid nutrition. Scientists believe this is due to a group of organs that act as a reserve system for survival. Most eat meat and plants, but some are only carnivores or vegetarians.
• Their eyelids are reflective (like liquid mercury) and shield their eyes from bright sunlight, spotlights, debris and other foreign objects. Scientists believe that their eyelids also use an unknown type of technology, which seems to be related to intuitive communication*.
• They attack (one-on-one) with their horns, teeth and trampling with their large feet, which is also covered with needle-like, piercing fur. Bacteria collects on this fur and can often cause deadly infection when it penetrates the skin of enemies. They can also attack in groups by surrounding their enemies and closing in on them, which appears to cause immediate neurological damage, leading to seizures and violent convulsing deaths (*intuitive communication).
• Weak spots are directly under the horns and around the unusual joints in their necks (which also enable them to turn their heads 360º).
• They are easily trained, but not easily untrained, which has resulted in corporate breeding farms in remote locations before being released in the wild.
• Their horns become more brittle with age, so many of these creatures do not have them. They have become collectible for creature trappers and symbols of victory for revolutionaries.
• They can survive in hot and cold climates. In hot climates, they can run at speeds up to 50-60MPH. Cold climates negatively impact their speed (25-40% reduction). 
• They have a gestation period of 50-65 days and typically give birth to 1 or 2 at a time. There are many unsuccessful pregnancies. Scientists believe this is due to evolution. The more they are used to solely protect dangerous resources, the more the blood line becomes infected with pollutants.

Update: Congratulations to Crouton Club member, Branson! You named Chupachthulu! How in the hell do you pronounce that? Choo-pock-too-loo? I’ll just call him Chupak. :D Thanks for participating!

(Branson has noted that he pronounces it “Choo-pah-choo-loo,” so this is how it will be pronounced. FOR TODAY, BRANSON, YOU ARE A GOD!)
