The name Basilisk comes from the Greek ‘basileus’ which means ‘a king’. The Basilisk was believed to be the king of all the reptiles. The Levenshtein distance between newschick and Basilisk is 5. |

Doppelganger
Your monster name is doppelganger and so you could quite easily claim that your monster name looks like anything you want it to. Doppelgangers can look like anything they want to, are one of the first monsters roleplayers and will-be gamers learn about. The thing about doppelgangers is that once you know about them you can’t say claim not to know a word of German. Doppel = Double, Gänger = Going.
The Levenshtein distance between aphraeldanae and Doppelganger is 7.

Satyr
Satyrs are horny goatmen who spend their entire lives drinking wine, playing music and chasing nymphs around; the lucky buggers. It's best not to look for any literal truth to that summary. Satyrs are originally a Greek myth and as happens to most legends from ancient Greece they've been welcomed with open arms by the fantasy beastiary authors.
The Levenshtein distance between Peter and Satyr is 3.
