Don't give it a name yourself! Let them be the discoverers, and bring the name of the critter back to civilisation.<br /><br />Once they have given it a new name, change all your notes to match it. Don't be like Spwack and accidentally use the name *you* gave it, because then the magic is lost.

So cheat. While the players are interacting with the wise NPC, ask your player OOC questions about their plans and motivations. Then, back IC, tell them that the wise NPC has a knowing twinkle in their eye. Don't have them actively use the info! The know that you know that they know, and they are wise enough to leave you in peace... for now Spwackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247063374457045751noreply@blogger.com
