Seriously though, I'm not a fan of the manga for various reasons, some personal and some not so much.

Among them, it's canonicity is questionable, or at least it gave me that impression with the first few chapters. Ruby's chapter is inconsistent with the show, and Yang's portrays the events of the Y-Trailer...somewhat differently.

And Blake's, instead....was almost-completely a copy-paste of her trailer's events, which just makes me feel "why bother?".

So overall, I'm in the same party as you. Don't give many damns about it, and personally I ignore everything it "reveals" since it's canonicity is up in the air. "Orochi Grimm"? Cool idea, but dismissed until proven canon.

And more on-topic....The Dragon (Wyvern) "Kevin" was named "Dragon" in it's concept art. And the Griffon is called "Griffon". It's perfectly possible at least some are named exactly what they are. I bet the Nuckelavee is.

That said, it certainly is more lazy than before, where they at least got creative with some names (Beowulf, Nevermore, Taijitu...). Last time they did that was with the Geist...
