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)

kraan 

A large red winged pterodactyl-like monster in the world of Magnamund (Joe Dever, Lone Wolf) - rarely ridden, but often used as shock troops to pick off enemies in battles, and occasionally to carry other monsters. Watch out - they swoop from above, keep away from hills in Lone Wolf 1

You can see a kraan circling the hill. Do you want to:

1) climb the hill and get killed, or
2) go under the hill and get killed by a burrowcrawler instead?

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.
