Whatever 10 end up winning, I will need people to explain what each one’s reference is to me in case I’m not aware of it. xD I know most of them that have a reference, but not all. ---

It’s either a reference, wordplay or a joke. Mostly references though ---

Mercy and Venbarak both are Shakespeare quotes (_The Tempest_ and _Macbeth_, respectively). Gotta give props to that sort of reference. ---

Zephyros, Lightning bolt, Lightning bolt, Lightning bolt I think that’s a magic the gathering reference. An old one since lightning bolt was retired a long time ago. ---

The only one I don’t know from the current top 10 on the poll is Grave Knight. I don’t know super heroes at all, so the reference makes no sense to me. xD ---

I think Crypt Knight is supposed to be similar sounding to Kryptonite, the only substance that can weaken Superman. Witty if not a bit groan inspiring pun! EDIT: A bit after the fact but I’m surprised the Bunninog one didn’t make the list, figure there would be more Monty Python fans around. ---

> [@Amadan](#): > > It’s all Venbarak, because…well…Shakespeare. I mean, done, right? Shakespeare is a cokehead hack who had trouble finishing his stories. In almost everything he DID finish, the last Act commonly wrapped up very hastily and left plenty of loose ends. ---
