    with what attack does the onos bite ? there is gore where the onos stabs with it's massiv horn, then there are paralyse where it "throws" some sort of paralysers at the target, then there is charge where it charges with its massiv horn, and then there is primal scream, where it roars... ?

    Then why is the symbol a onos with its mouth open? i think they should show the horn in the HUD not a onos mouth

    Gore? Err.... why not just say "Stabbed", because it's a word that's actually used in the world and it doesn't confuse anyone. But I haven't seen anyone say "Gored" yet, and why does it show a picture of the Onos' teeth?

    Stab is just more general gored means with a horn or something like it.

    the pic is jsut an onos head, the mouth hanging open is incidental.

    <b><u>ARROWED!!</u></b>
    Stabbed doesn't really fit tho...

    And then there is the kill msg, "X killed Y with <b>claws</b>" to add further confusion.

    May not hear the word "gore" spoken frequently, but I certainly know what it means, and know it fits the onos with its giant horn perfectly...

    These are the future politicians/doctors/scientists?

    It's the same term as when a bull gores someone. It's the term for when a big quadruped barrels into something to kill it.

    Why don't they just call it "pwned?" The Onos is just gonna kill you all anyway <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Seriously, what's in a name? It doesn't really matter, and Flay's got much better things to do working on 1.1 than messing around with one tiny, minor detail that few people ever notice.

    Gored - a very common word, especially when talking about bulls. No-one says "The bull stabbed me!" do they? Anyway it fits into the NS thing of using great words like "gore", "divine wind", "celerity", etc. Why not just say "Speed"? Because "Celerity" fits and sounds better. Same with "gore".
