Hoar

1. Hoar

I mean... Really. It was cool to see a sand person, but really. They could have named him almost anything else...

Poo

2. Poo

This poor child... Imagine what hell his life in school would be.

Pussy Galore

3. Pussy Galore

Erm... Yeah.

I'll just leave it at that.

Cao Cao

4. Cao Cao

I know he's based on a historical figure. And I know it isn't actually pronounced "cow cow", but come one, who hasn't laughed at least once? They finally corrected the pronunciation... in the 6th Dynasty Warriors game.

Cao Pi

5. Cao Pi

Like his father, but poor Cao Pi has it even worse.

Guybrush Threepwood

6. Guybrush Threepwood

A pretty funny story for how he actually got the name. He was to be named Guy but one of the image editor they used gave the extension ".brush" and so "guy.brush" was the name of his sprite, and the name stuck. Threepwood won a vote among the makers of the game.

Geese Howard

7. Geese Howard

Geese. Sure he's a cool character. But his name is still Geese.
