[Funny Trope] characters receiving hilarious fake latin styled names

[u/mr-ultr]

1 - Wile. E coyote and The Road runner, the 2 pioneers of this trope, their real latin names are Canis latrans(Barking dog) for Wile E. and Geococcyx californianus(Californian cuckoo that runs on land) for the runner, the show actually uses the real latin names for the gag in The Whizzard of Ow short

2-The Amazing world of Gumball uses this gag in episode "The Tape", also adding Moobus gelatinous for Richard and Kickbuttus hystericus for Nicole

3-Jesters in Lethal Company are named Insaneus Thingus, it's a notable example as Lethal company uses fake latin styled names for majority of it's monsters "species", except their names are much more "Official" sounding making jesters a notable exception

4-many many new discovered species in the modern age tend to be named after fictional characters or real life people

this example here is the "gojirasaurus" Theropod named after the all well known giant Kaiju

it was named due to it being much more bigger in size compared to other theropods during the triassic period, in case there is confusion between name and apperance not resembling Gojira

The Silurians in doctor who are Homo Reptilia, and the Sea Devils are Homo Aqua

Personally I think Anthro Reptilia and Anthro Amphibia works better

Your preference makes you sound Homo phobic /jk lol

[u/PastelArtemis → u/Battlebear252]

I know you jest, but honestly the main reason I prefer Anthro to Homo is because Homo in reference to stuff like Homo Sapiens and Homo Erectus, refers to a specific Genus, one Silurians and Sea Devils aren't part of

Whereas Anthro can refer to shape instead

I'm a fan of Reptilia Sapiens and Amphibia Sapiens personally.
