The Cyberdemon also has one arm replaced with a rocketlauncher, could it be called "Mancurex" then? mancus for being mutilated and rex for being the king of demons.Īctually I think both of us are wrong. The notion that the hands have been wickedly removed and replaced by instruments of destruction is confirmed due to the name. The main characteristics of this effigy are its huge head and prominent jaws, not a big fat body and a small head.
CUBUS MEANING FULL
In my interpretation the root is being used properly in full and semantically portrays what you see (a demon with hands replaced by mechanic parts,) as opposed to a vague similarity in the words with a free assiciation between gluttony (something pretty irrelevant in an FPS) and being fat, through a traditional comedic character of sorts.Īlso, look here. Manc- is not just that it's "missing something," it is used for people who are missing a hand, most commonly replaced by a wooden one, or a hook (e.g., fictional pirates.) Also, something to follow in giving names to simple designs is to make those names as complementary as possible, fitting well and adding information to give a fuller picture. So? The outstanding characteristics of the Cacodemon are that it's bodiless and one eyed. I´m not even sure if his hands are missing, or if they are just inside those napalm launchers. The outstanding characteristic of the Mancubus is that it is FAT, not that it is missing something.
