You know what's amazing? All of your words are character names from that forgotten children's classic, Tales of the Gnemog!

Esuom (ESH-yum) A wise, old badger who lives near Gnemog Bog. Often seen smoking his pipe and offering sage advice to Lillu and Prakat.

Gnemog (NEE-mog) An evil, petrifyingly large frog, native to Gnemog Bog. The subject of many a scary story in Pytrie Wood. Rumor has it that the Gnemog is not evil at all, but merely misunderstood.

Lillu (LEE-loo) Our spunky squirrel girl. What she lacks in bravery, she makes up for in resourcefulness. Always thinks she's right, and most of the time she is!

Prakat (PRAH-ket) A tough, young bobcat with an appetite for adventure! His bravery often gets him into trouble. Sometimes, Prakat's mouth is too big for his bobcat britches!
