Ghouls and Other Nasties

Compiled by Marshall Burns

I made these lists to randomly generate names for ghouls for a computer game I ended up not finishing. Roll twice on any combination of lists (even the same one twice) for two words to stick together for a very nasty kind of name for a very nasty kind of person. In addition to ghouls, it's pretty good for the sort of demon names found in CS Lewis' The Screwtape Letters.
