Noxomanus is a name that has nothing to do with LotR,but does IMO, have a dark and sinister tone to it. It's derived from ancient Greek and Latin, I think.

Nux, night, combined with manus or hand or claw. Noxomanus thus means Night-Claw. As for my avatar,what could be more symbolic for a 'night-claw' then an owl?
