I tend to make up a lot of animals and monsters for my campaign, and often I'll name them in the local language, but also have an english name. For example, in one culture orcs are "baghra". I just made up an animal that I called "tangle-tail cat" in English, but "giran" in the local language.
I'm wondering which works better from the players' perspective. English may make the name mean more, but local language may keep their head in fantasy-space. Thoughts?
