No not really, I tried and it's very hard to get that name by random
keystrokes. But they did come up with a suitable unwritable name in
the good old Chtulu... Cthulu... (or whatever) tradition.
Maybe they got the horror name from mages who tried to pronounce
their true name (which must be far worse than that).

"Oh, by the name true of thee foul spirit of the netherworld I
command thee to return to thy world. Hear me, oh Ysgryr... no,
Ysgriate... no, Ysgreto..., dammit. Sorry 'bout that, just give me a
sec.... "


*sigh* What happened to the good old demon names with lots of "oth"
sounds and a suitable "The Mutilator" at the end?
