    Flying Fox. Not a fox… it's a very large bat.

    King cobra under it's generic name Ophiophagus is known as such because it is of a genus that primarily eats other snakes. So the "king" part of its name is there because of that.

    Bearded dragon: doesn't have facial hair and doesn't breathe fire. Would possibly consider eating a knight, but only if there was a can opener handy.

    Like "Butterfly" instead of "Flutterby" … 😉
