    How the Pathfinder Beastfolk Name Generator works

    A Pathfinder catfolk name generator that also covers ratfolk, tengu, kitsune and lizardfolk. Animal-folk ancestries each have a naming style that fits their culture, so pick one and get names with prides, warrens, epithets or tails that suit a Pathfinder game.

    How the Pathfinder catfolk name generator works

    Catfolk get purring, rolling names and a playful epithet or pride. Ratfolk get quick, squeaky names, practical surnames about trade and tinkering, and a warren or clan. Tengu, the crow folk, get sharp, clipped names and an epithet about feathers or swords. Kitsune, the fox folk, get Japanese-inspired given names and sometimes a mention of how many tails they have grown, a sign of age and power. Lizardfolk get hissing, multi-syllable names and an epithet describing their role in the tribe.

    Using epithets

    Many animal-folk communities care more about deeds than family names, so an epithet like Swiftpaw or Egg-Guard does the work a surname would in a human town.

    FAQ

    What do catfolk names sound like?

    Catfolk names tend to be short and rolling, with purring sounds like Mrr and Rah. Many catfolk add a playful epithet that reflects their personality, such as Nine-Lives for a lucky one.

    Why do kitsune names mention tails?

    In folklore, a fox spirit grows more tails as it ages and gains power, up to nine. Mentioning the tails in a name is a quick way to show how old or powerful a kitsune is.

    How are ratfolk names built?

    Ratfolk names are short and quick, often followed by a surname about trade or tinkering. Ratfolk live in close-knit warrens, so the generator can add the warren a character comes from.

    Can I use these for other games?

    Yes. The names are original and fit cat people, rat folk, crow folk, fox spirits and lizard people in any fantasy system, including homebrew worlds and other popular tabletop roleplaying games.
