guursh 

popular orc ale, so called because of the noise you make after drinking it.

taken from the Fighting Fantasy gamebook world.

I drank some guursh and then said guursh very loudly.

The orc had drunk so much guursh that when it tried to cleave my skull it ended up hewing off its own leg. (hee hee)

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)

Gourgaz 

A large green reptilian monster, often used as a commander of Giak units in the armies of the Darklords in the world of Magnamund (Joe Dever's Lone Wolf). Native to the Maakenmire swamp, and with a frighteningly high Combat Skill (i.e. nearly impossible to beat without cheating).

You see a gourgaz coming towards you. Do you want to:

1. run away (recommended)
2. fight it (you're on something, aren't you?)
3. use your Kai Discipline of Running Away
4. run away even faster
5. faint

turn to page 165 (you're dead anyway).

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.

Powermaster 

A type of TransFormer which has a Nebulan companion (a small humanoid) which transforms into its engine in vehicle mode. This engine is needed to transform between modes, and/or to release other features of the robot.

Powermaster Optimus Prime could only transform out of lorry mode once his Nebulan companion, Hi-Q, was inserted as his engine.

Targetmaster 

A type of TransFormer which has a Nebulan companion (a small humanoid robot - according to the stories, a humanoid in a robot suit) who transforms into its weapon. Sometimes refers to the robot, sometimes to its companion.

The targetmaster Slugslinger is a robot who turns into a two-cockpit aeroplane. His Nebulan companion can be held in robot mode or attached to the back of the plane.
