Oh, that's simple! Here is the best way to choose a Mythical Beast name:

1. Travel deep into the forest and chop down a large oak tree (minimum 27.5" radius, although the tree height is irrelevant).
2. Keep the tree stump moistened by spraying liberally with a 50/50 mixture of soured buttermilk and mountain goat urine every day until the stump rots to below ground level (approx.  3 1/2 years)
3. Once rotted sufficiently, dig a pit three feet deep and five feet in diamater where the oak tree once stood. Coat the pit with a mixture of red clay, chopped straw and boysenberry jam. Allow the clay mixture to dry 24 hours, then fill the pit with hot fire coals from a fire burning either cedar or tupelo gum tree wood and "season" the pit coating until it is hardened to brick consistency.
4. For best results, the remaining steps must be carried out at night of the first full moon following Summer Solstice and while wearing glow-in-the-dark night clothing such as illustrated below. Well, okay, the timing is mandatory . . . wearing the jammies is just because I think it's funny.   Available at http://www.mysnugasabug.com/adult-glow-in-the...:
5. Fill the stump pit with boiled oatmeal seasoned with cinnamon and honey.
6. Hide behind a nearby tree with a net and wait to capture the pixies and faeries that come to feast on the oatmeal.  You can try capturing by hand if you think you are quick enough, but be very careful not to crush or damage any of the wood creatures as this would be a violation of Federal Fairy Protection laws.
7. Solicit mythical beast name suggestions from the captured pixies and faeries, and then release them back into the woods.  Most authorities on this subject recommend that you gather at least seven (7) mythical beast name suggestions. It is also better to take one or two suggestions from several different wood creatures instead of several suggestions from one wood creature, just in case you have captured one that is totally insane or just plain dumb.  Additionally, gathering a large pool of name suggestions will allow you to make your best and final name selection at your leisure back at home while sipping a cup of hot cocoa. And who doesn't like that? 

Caution:

DO NOT solicit names from any elves that might come to the pit, as elves are notoriously bad namers.

 

• Alternative Method:   just make up one that you like.
