zlanbeast

a large monster from the Darklands, similar to a Kraan but bigger. The largest, Imperial Zlanbeast, are ridden by the Darklords themselves. Strangely, you can play all the Lone Wolf gamebooks and never actually get to fight one.

You see a zlanbeast from a distance.

As you battle on the bridge, a zlanbeast flies by overhead.

The zlanbeast flies away as the tower collapses.

You are in combat with a zlanbeast. (INCORRECT USE)

Conenab

In the Spectrum game "Down to Earth", the Conenabs are cute little cyclops plant things which grow in clusters, multiply like randy maths teachers and explode when they get too numerous. Quite handy because the nasty aliens you're trying to kill sometimes hit them and blow up.

Oh bloody hell, there's another alien after me and I've only got two frigging lives left, there's some conenabs over there, I'm going to head for those. Oh shit, they've blown up and killed me.

Orkish

My sister is possessed of an almost Orkish intelligence.

My maths teacher was babbling again, I think he might have been speaking Orkish.

Ent

Tree-creature in Lord of the Rings. Ents are tall, slow and patient creatures which live in the forest of Fangorn and exist to protect the trees from harm. Related to Entwife. Make for very cool special effects in films, especially when it comes to trashing Isengard.

That tree's got a face - it looks just like an ent.

You need the patience of an ent to put up with this degree course.

Tony Blair's revived the road building programme! I hope an ent squashes him.
