Joe asked for suggestions for names for a group of broos.

Lions come in prides, crows come in murders, geese come in gaggles, whales come in pods...
I think that broos would merit their own special (and unpleasant) word.

often used, but simple: horde, mob, gang

Suggestions from MS Word and amused lab-mates:

brawl
slaughter
massacre
butchery
ailment
affliction
disorder
misery (kinda catchy)
hurt
pain
spike
carnage
calamity
ruin
spoil (very descriptive)
slay
broil
clamor
fued
quarrel
squabble

I also liked "terror". How about "horror"?

Maybe the really frightening boogey-broos in Prax have single toes, like those evil horses.

Smelch

Does anyone out there have any information on Smelch, other than what's in the single paragraph in the Glorantha/Genertela books?
