Thanks BG! :p

But they play underwater. Why name an underwater team after something that usually flies?

You could ask the same about the Gullwings.

And what about the other team names: the beasts, the goers, the fangs, etc.?

Which raises another question - What the heck is a Goer, anyway?

Someone who goes, I guess.

I always thought "Abes" was sort of like "Apes". As for Goers, I thought they're people who go, as in, walk, so I guess it's a bit like Walkers.

A Duggle is a small, migratory amphibian having disproportionately large and colorful pectoral fins (in the males) used to attract mates. The most commonly known Duggle is the Heart-Faced Duggle (named for the shape of its head) found in the waters off of Western Australia.

It's fun to make stuff up...

I wonder if the other two Zanarkand teams have names just as bad. :p
