Enemy Names

[Peaberry]

IN ORDER OF THE PAUSE SCREEN

Hiisi seems to be the name given to the race of humans living down here. Hiisi translates to Devil, so I'm going to assume anything before the names of them are "(Word) Devil."

Please note that these probably aren't entirely accurate, as Google Translate isn't accurate, either. I've done this for the sake of curiosity and entertainment; I just thought it was interesting when I went to dissect all the names.

This is as of the fifth update, and I'm sure I'm missing a couple of enemies; again, this list isn't official or anything like that.

Kudos for the effort, but you can find the non google translated enemy names on the wiki. The google translate quality is, uh, google translate quality. Some of it is what it should be but some have completely different meaning, connotations or slang the program simply cannot pick up. For example...

Ukko is indeed an old man. Ukko is also the name of the highest god and the god of lightning in the Finnish mythology.
Murkku is a short for "muurahainen", ant. It is also short for "murrosikäinen", teen. For an ant monster the google-tl name is kind of amusing.
Toimari is short for "toimitusjohtaja", CEO. It's the biggest hiisi mob.

Sup, a finn here to correct things a bit. Keep in mind that when I say "slang word" I mean a word that's often used, but not the real word for the thing. Can't think of a better term for it right now. A simplistic way of saying things.

Amppari: slang word for a bee.
Lennokki: Miniature plane.
Eväkäs: Common word for any sort of fish. No idea what "euakas" means.
Liekkari: Slang word for a flamethrower.
Laahustussieni: Slowly moving (?) mushroom. Creeping mushroom?
Tappurahiisi: Tappura is an old word for something that could equate to "spicy". Someone with an attitude.
Stevari: Seems to be Helsinki dialect for "guard".
Heikko Äitinuljaska: Weak Mother Blob. Nuljaska is a word for something slimy.
Spiraalikalma: Kalma is a Finnish goddess of death and decay.
Kranuhiisi: Kranu is a slang word for a hand grenade. Kranaatti/Käsikranaatti is the proper word.
Snipuhiisi: Snipu is a gaming term for a sniper.
Pikkuturso: In the Finnish epic, Kalevala, there is Iku-Turso, a giant sea monster. Pikkuturso means "Small Turso". Like a miniature Iku-Turso.
Ukko: Ukko Ylijumala, the Finnish god of thunder. Ylijumala means "Overgod". Does your country have gods that are above gods?
Mätänevä Kroppa/Pää/Ruumis: Mätänevä means rotting. Kroppa means body, pää means head and ruumis means body, as in dead body.
Murkku: Not teen, lul. Another name for an ant. Often refers to fire ants. Teenage years in Finland are for some reason called murkkuikä, "antsy age".

Goodness me.

Well, maybe I should have looked around a bit more before committing myself to this.

It was still pretty fun to figure it all out, though!

And thank you for the respectful reply; very kind of you.

Your nickname is on point though. :D

Stendari is apparently slang for lighter[en.wiktionary.org].
And turso is another word for octopus, I guess[en.wiktionary.org].

Liekkari would probaly translate to flamer.

[Deridex]

I always thought Hiisi would be better translated to goblin than devil..

This is really interesting! Is there a guide or something like this that explains these allusions?

And there's also a mod that change the in game names as well.
