Wolvark is a great combination of wolf and shark. Or aardvark, I guess …. The best explanation for Vykkers is that it's a bastardisation of vicars.
Just some clarification:
Slig is from slug combined with pig.
Glukkon is from glutton combined with the k from mollusk.
Clakker is from cracker combined with cluck.
Stang clearly derives from sting.
Mudokon comes from the phrase mod con, meaning something that makes a job easier, in this case, slave labour.
Interns are interns.
Outlaws are outlaws.
Greeters advertise, and I suppose greet.
Flying Sligs fly.
Octigi comes from the plural for octopus, octigi.
Alf is named after the amazing fan Alfred Gamble.
Glockstars derive from rockstars.
Fort Glokz is a parody of Fort Knox.
Break Wind Hill is clearly refering to the Mudokons' passion for that bodily function.
Bolamites comes from the bola that they spin. A-wrapnids is a play on arachnid in a similar vein.
Fangus is possibly an adapted Angus, a typical Scottish name.
Fangustan is this name transformed into an East European/Arabic country, a great way to lampoon the war on Iraq.
Bawhnee Sue McUgly is named in honour of the Oddworld Inhabitant Bonnie.
FeeCo includes the word fee, but also sounds like faecal. Who said OWI were mature?
Evanwurst Weenerz Co - weener is, I believe, a U.S. expression for a sausage, while wurst is the Deutsch word for sausage. I'm not sure if the Evan bit is meant to refer to anything.
If someone can explain to me the reasoning behind the name Elboze Freely, I'd be appreciative, but I think that's been asked before to no success.
