gollark: They seem to generally have been named after general... stuff... and not specific mythological beings.

gollark: Oh right, the existing ones already have elemental wotsits, that's a clue.

gollark: To be honest, I kind of prefer the original set's egg colors, but the new ones look nice as hatchlings.

gollark: The existing xenowyrm names seem to be Greek-ish, so the new ones are probably similar.
