    Ferox Slime (Lv. 54)
    Statue Knight (Lv. 54)
    Noshorning (Lv. 54)
    Native Slingra (Lv. 54)
    Jettelik Slime (Lv. 55)
    Mellan Slime (Lv. 55)
    Lilla Slime (Lv. 55)
    Rakkaus Slime (Lv. 54)

    As a Swede, I know where these names come from; the furthest possible place from a rainforest (ironically), Scandinavia (probably Finnish)! Noshörning (Noos-her-ning) means Rhino, which is what a Noshornig is, and Jättelik/Jettelik (Yet-eh-leek), depending on the language, means Big, Mellan (Meh-lan) means Middle, and Lilla (Lil-ah) means Small, each for the phrases of the slimes you fight. Rakkaus (Rak-kaus) means Love in Finnish, explaining their red nature, and Slingra (Sling-rah) means Slither/Meander (all verbs) spending, on context. Oh yeah and Mahamba is just a play on Mamba, as in the deadly species of snake. Ferox stumped me, but apparently it's Latin for Ferocious.

    So yeah, just trivia.

    OH YEAH AND IF ANYONE DARES QUOTE TORBJÖRN IN THE THREAD, I SWEAR TO GOD!
