After the latest episode of the Letters Page as per this typing(Iron Legacy and Alternate Realities/Timelines), my interest in the Animal-verse is at it's max. I now want to make a more 'cannon' Animal-themed reality that my players will be able to visit in my rpg campaign, but I am nowhere near 'punny' enough to come up with propper names. So, I'm asking for any and all suggestions from here on the forums!
Some rules I'll set down:
Try and stick to Disney/Zootopia rules, meaning mostly mammals.
Some birds and reptiles will be fine though.
No fish.
Some particulars I'd really like:
Legacy's gotta be a dog, meaning Baron Blade has to be a cat of some kind. :P
I'm probably gonna use the Cat-tralist for this universe. His weird hairless ape form is too funny not to use.
Thank you in advance for your help!

I am already happy I made this thread just from that name alone.

and Setbark's bitter nemesis, Kismeowt; I've hear that she's working with the siberian villain Proletiger now.

I was thinking Hiss-met, personally. She can Excatriette would definitely get into cat-fights.
Too bad no fish, there have been a lot of good fish puns in the Letters Page so far.

I don't want to even think about what this universe's Matriarch controls...

I've always thought The Matriarch was a rather odd name, but in the Animalverse it would make a lot more sense--she still controls birds, but the birds are people there! Instant army. That could be one hell of a story, where an angsty teenager suddenly gains mind-control powers over a substantial percentage of the world's population.

I am just sticking with my contribution of the Savage Quokka. :B Puns are not my strong point.

I'm partial to the Skoala.
I've spent way too long thinking about these, because I have -- I mean, my squirrel roommate has -- sent in several questions about the Animalverse. Let me see... the three best ones I could think of were:
- Quackyon
- the Chairmanx and the Otterative
- Prolebeariat

I think you’re being way too limiting! After all, one of the best animalverse puns was the letter addressed to “Fishtopher and Antam.”

Does her hoarding of nuts and forgetting where she left them get annoying? Or does she leave herself notes?
I can see just finding chestnuts all over the flat/house being quite annoying after a while.

Oh my god Quackyon is too good not to use even if it breaks the 'zootopia' rule. And Prolebeariat? Perfect! Russian bear theme plus a pun! (Okay, is there any way we can get Absolute Zero to be a polar bear?)
I really liked the Otterative when she was mentioned on the show, though my brother prefers a rabbit-themed Loperative.
Is it bad that I kind of want Friction to be a sloth?
Citizen Fawn (or, if we're going with Excatriette, maybe… uh… Catizen Dawn? I dunno.)
The Matriardvaark
La Cobayatan/La Cobayadora ('cobaya' means guinea pig in spanish)
I wanted it to be Grand Warlord Fossa but it's pronounced wrong ("FOO-sa").
That's all I got for now.

These are all great ideas, thank you so much for contributing everybody!
I decided on that rule really because the Disney 'animal wearing clothes' style normaly looks best with those kinds of animals. But if a name breaks the rule and is just too good to pass up, then I'll use it.
Still looking for a good dog-style name for Legacy, if anyone has ideas…

Best I can think of is Absolursus Zero, but that's bears in general rather than polar bears. Maybe something with "arctic" as the Greek word arktos actually means "bear" (the association is due to the bear constellations)?

Paul Pawsons? I am actually having trouble too. That's the best I could come up with.

AZ doesn't HAVE to be a polar bear. He could always be some other arctic animal, like a rabit or fox. Though thinking about it, PoleHAREriate might be a better idea, what with his powerset and all. ;P

Ab-seal-ute Zero would live in the polar regions, but it's not quite the visual I was hoping for.
Pawl Pawsons is beautifully Marvel-esque. There's actually a dog breed called the Parson Russell Terrier, but that's too convoluted. Lega-shih-tzu is a stretch and not American enough, but I'd love to see artwork for him. (Lega-shiba-inu would be a more classic look but still not a great pun.)

The Southwest Scentinels
Dr. Perrito (Lick Hernandez)
Danestay (Jackson Dognetti)
The Airedaleist (Miranda Pinscher)
Wolve (Eugene Whippetson)
Later the Addermant Scentinels, then Void Guard Dog. I expect that their early nemeses are obviously the Lockjaw Crew.

I sorta want the alternate Highbrow to be called Highbrid, but I’m not sure what species(es) she would be.
…or maybe Highcow.
