snarpFour monsters were conspiring to rebel against the Queen of Monsters, who was obviously Meenah Peixes. One was a talking bear cub, one was my Orcish hunter from Warcraft, I don't remember the third, and the fourth was the Condesce's gentle, easily-distracted personal assistant, whose name was PSBR, pronounced like "Posbur."
PSBR looked a little like Snufkin, but with black skin, a black cape, long black hair, and huge, heavy-lidded purple eyes. Sie wasn't gendered; members of hir particular subspecies of monster were born when two creatures of any sort were touched in a certain way by a large, faceless forest creature with soft yellow fur, who combined their genetic material with hir own to form several offspring.
PSBR's name was, sie told hir co-conspirators, an acronym of the creatures used to create hir: Piranha, Snake, Bear, Rattlesnake.
The orc pointed out that there were four things in that name, not two. PSBR nodded sheepishly. Also, said the orc, two of them were snakes. Was there one rattlesnake, and you put it in there twice to have more letters? PSBR wasn't sure; sie was nearing hir thousandth birthday, and when you get that old, you forget things. And why, asked the orc, was there a piranha near a rattlesnake and a bear, anyway? What sort of forest does this yellow furry thing live in, exactly?
PSBR said, "Okay. So maybe I don't really know what my name means."
The bear cub said happily, "But there was definitely a bear! That means we're cousins!" PSBR agreed, and they excitedly went on a bear family picnic together. The orc and the fourth conspirator grumpily went back to planning sedition.
