Chapter 1141 - Secrets Disclosed
🕑 Added 2025-05-21 11:18:59 +0000 UTCIt took a while for the Warpsnatcher to finally calm down enough that it was comfortable being alone. Artemis had definitely been right in that it could sense the power level of others, something that was really hammered home when the poor Warpsnatcher went outside and saw the giant Primordial tree in the distance. This resulted in the poor thing hiding in Jake’s arms for another few hours.
The little fella was pretty quick at adapting, though, and while it remained scared of Artemis, it could at least exist in the same space after about half a day. It also helped that the castle or palace or whatever Jake wanted to call his residence had so many rooms, as that allowed the Warpsnatcher to go elsewhere if too uncomfortable.
Also, it gave the C-grade somewhere to hide all its loot. The residence had a cellar area, and the Warpsnatcher quickly took a good section of it as its personal storage. Seeing as Jake wasn’t the sort to store fine vintages, he didn’t need the place he was pretty sure was originally meant to be a wine cellar.
Once the Warpsnatcher had left and was busy setting up its own little home, Jake finally found himself alone with Artemis once more.
“So, how did you find the Hunting Ground?” Artemis asked curiously. “You seem to have at least found it interesting based on you bringing something back from there.”
“It was pretty good,” Jake smiled. “Killed my fair share of B-grades.”
“I can see that based on your progress,” Artemis nodded. “Quite an astonishing speed considering your Path. However, I must warn you. Those B-grades are, to put it kindly, barely even qualified to be called that.”
“Yeah, they were all very low tier,” Jake agreed.
“Below low tier, I would say,” Artemis shook her head. “Bottom tier. These are creatures that, based on their own innate talents, likely wouldn’t have ever even made it to C-grade. The environment in the Hunting Ground was very curated to allow their growth and existence in the first place. Sure, sometimes there are standouts, but those are few and far between.”
“Some of the variants weren’t that bad,” Jake said, considering things like the peak C-grade Simivita Chieftains. Sure, they were pretty weak, but not outright horrible.
“I’m not talking solely about their stats but their ability to display their true power,” Artemis sighed. “As we talked about a lot, conceptual understanding and application are a cornerstone of the powerful. This comprehension is gained either through practice and enlightenment or innate understanding, either granted directly by the system or simply through nature.”
Artemis held out a hand as wind began swirling above it despite no detectable amounts of mana being used. “Sylphie is a great example of a creature with high innate comprehension, though I do see she has also learned a lot by herself. However, even if she didn’t try, the Sylphian Hawk would have gained a high level of understanding merely from their race and inherited knowledge. The Warpsnatcher is very much the same. They know how to use their magic and have at least some level of understanding about how it works by nature. Meanwhile, the enlightened like you and I need to learn most things on our own, though we are given assistance through receiving more system skills.”
“Meanwhile, I guess those B-grades had neither innate nor learned affinities?” Jake asked, having reached the natural conclusion of where Artemis was going.
“Precisely. Of course, they have truly reached B-grade, so given proper practice and if they’re taught enough, even those B-grades may end up becoming halfway decent creatures at one point, though A-grade will be a long shot for any of them.”
Jake nodded, at least finding it a bit comforting to know the Sovereign at least still had some chance to become stronger and not be stuck in low-tier B-grade forever. Sure, he hated the damn bird with a passion, but they had still been comrades in arms for a little while.
“The Warpsnatcher doesn’t seem to fall into the category of weak variants, though,” Jake commented after a few seconds.
“It’s not. Usually, a creature with a relatively high-level variant would be removed from a Hunting Ground of that level as it would upset the balance too much, but due to the Shimmerfur Warpsnatchers being non-combat focused, it was left alone. Also, it is the natural way of the Warpsnatchers to grow up in all sorts of different environments, so its presence was considered acceptable,” Artemis explained.
“The poor little fella did find itself stuck, though,” Jake sighed.
“Only until B-grade,” Artemis shook her head. “At that point, we would have had to move to remove the beast as its presence would truly upset the balance then. Even if the Warpsnatcher is not a combat-focused race, it would still be more than capable of slaying every other B-grade on that planet upon evolving. In the scenario where it didn’t do that, all treasures would be monopolized, and the balance once more broken. So in that sense, you removing the Warpsnatcher now is a good thing.”
“Oh, yeah, totally did it for the sake of the future balance and whatnot,” Jake said cheekily as he had a thought. “Say... I’ve not really been able to figure this out yet, but do you know if the Warpsnatcher is male or female? Perhaps neither?”
“It’s male,” Artemis answered. “You can tell from the ears. They’re more pointy on the males. At least while they’re still in C-grade. After evolving, their look changes based on the personal preference of the Warpsnatcher in question.”
“What grade are Warpsnatchers normally?” Jake asked curiously. Peak races in the multiverse were natural B-grades and included things like dragons and other mythical beings.
“Natural C-grades. They tend to spend the first few years while in D-grade accompanying their parents, but upon evolving to C-grade, they’re sent off into the multiverse to live on their own. Only upon reaching B-grade will Warpsnatchers usually try to look for a mate, starting the cycle all over again.”
“They only reproduce with others of their race?” Jake asked curiously. He knew a lot of monsters had children with enlightened races or even other monsters. The powers of the Polymorph skill and the ability to take on humanoid forms all allowed for that.
“For the most part, though, there are always exceptions,” Artemis said, looking at him curiously. “I must admit, you seem a lot more interested in Warpsnatchers than I would think.”
“Yeah, I’m considering something... say, do you know if the Warpsnatchers have some kind of powerful ancestor they descended from? You know, like fire birds can often trace their Lineage back to phoenixes and such,” Jake asked, still doing a bit of research.
“Not as far as I know,” Artemis shook her head, now looking even more curiously at him. She seemed indecisive for a moment before finally just coming out and asking something she had likely wondered for a while:
“Say... is this related to your abilities as the Harbinger of Primeval Origins?”
Her question meant Jake now had to consider matters. For a while, it had been common knowledge that Jake was capable of manipulating Primeval Origins, but the details around this ability were all kept very vague on purpose. The leading theory seemed to be that Jake had some kind of unique Soulbound item only he could use.
Other theories included that it had something to do with Jake’s bloodline, but that there were some serious limitations to it, such as a cost Jake wasn’t willing to pay or some other requirement.
The point was that only Villy and Jake knew the full truth. Well, alright, Duskleaf and Meira likely also knew for the most part, while his creations also had a good chance of knowing. However, he had never told any outsiders, and the Viper had made it clear it should be kept that way.
It wasn’t necessarily a question of trust either, but limiting the potential of someone leaking the truth. The easiest way to limit exposure was to limit the number of people capable of exposing him.
That was why Jake found himself unsure of what to answer. On the one hand, he didn’t want to keep a secret like that from Artemis, but on the other hand, he knew he would be keeping secrets no matter what. There were things about his Bloodline that Jake hadn’t even told Villy, and things would likely stay that way until Jake was strong enough that revealing everything couldn’t come back and bite him in the ass.
Artemis seemed to notice Jake’s indecision and smiled comfortingly. “I understand if you want to keep that to yourself. We all have secrets that are best kept hidden unless we have no other choice.”
Her answer only made Jake feel even worse as he sighed. Eh, fuck it.
“It is related to that,” Jake finally answered. “I was considering helping the Warpsnatcher when he evolves to B-grade. Or at least try to.”
Artemis, seeing that Jake had decided to open up, pried a bit further. “Are you sure that’s wise? Based on what I know, there are a lot of factions who would like to see your talents used to help them instead, and given the limited nature of the ability...”
“Those limitations are heavily overblown,” Jake answered honestly. “There are limitations for sure, yes, but they aren’t that bad. I’ll also say that I’m not considering this only out of altruism and because that little fella is just so damn cute. I’m doing it partly for selfish reasons as I’ve yet to help a creature evolve to B-grade before, and I want that achievement under my belt before I evolve to B-grade myself.”
Jake was being honest there. It was one of the things he had considered putting on his to-do list before evolving to B-grade. He already knew that the Records he gained from Sylphie, Sandy, and Vesperia were absolutely insane, and now, especially after having gained so many levels, he felt pretty damn filled up on Jake Juice.
“If you don’t mind me asking... how does it work?” Artemis questioned. From the way she asked, she didn’t seem like she had high expectations of getting a straight answer.
“Honestly? I couldn’t tell you,” Jake shook his head. “I don’t control evolutions or Primeval Origins. I just spur them on. Give them a little push into the light. Ultimately, the final result still depends on whatever creature is evolving.”
“So, you have a way to add Records to a creature?” Artemis asked, pretty much hitting the nail on the head.
“That’s probably the most accurate description, yeah,” Jake nodded. During this conversation, Jake also made very sure no one else was listening in. The barriers of the palace were already fully active, but Jake trusted his senses far more than them, and besides the passive observation of Villy, no one else was peeking.
Speaking of Villy, Jake was taking this conversation relatively slowly to give Villy time to jump in if he felt the need to. So far, the Primordial hadn’t seen the need to comment or till Jake to shut the fuck up. Which was a good sign, right?
Artemis once more looked deep in thought as Jake continued talking.
“However, I can’t just summon Records out of thin air. I need something to get the process going. Records to light a spark under. I’ve never done it directly to a creature, and I don’t intend to do so either this time. If I want to help the Warpsnatcher, I need an item related to the Warpsnatcher’s Path for me to manipulate. Monster cores tend to fit best, usually,” Jake said.
“So, in summary, you can use the core of a monster or some other catalyst of Records, manipulate this catalyst, and through that create an item a monster can consume?” Artemis asked.
“In essence, yes,” Jake nodded. At least, that was all Jake had done for Sandy. He had infused a meteorite with Jake Juice, after which Sandy had eaten it, and eventually evolved into what they were today. Of course, that space rock had been a gift from the system, so it had quite intense Records to begin with, which was an important factor.
With the Demon Prince after Nevermore, Jake had once more manipulated an item of immense Records to allow the Demon Prince to evolve and change into the Cerulean Demon King. However, that entire thing had shown Jake the dangers of what he could do.
The Records couldn’t be too overpowering, or the one absorbing them would find themselves overwhelmed. With Sandy, they had gotten around it with the item originally being one granted by the system, the Records thus passive beyond imagination. With the Demon Prince, they had used the other method to handle overwhelming Records: an even more powerful being possessing overwhelming Records getting directly involved.
“The entire process will involve rituals and stuff, but before I can do anything, I will need a catalyst to get things rolling,” Jake said. “Of course, I need to make sure I want to do this in the first place and also ask the Warpsnatcher what he wants.”
“Would you allow me to assist in the process when the time comes?” Artemis asked, quickly clarifying what she meant. “There are few things that add meaningful Records to me as a god, but this Harbinger of Primeval Origins ability of yours is one I believe can add value to my Path. Just the mere fact I know the Harbinger of Primeval Origins name is proof of the potency of these Records.”
“I’m not gonna say no, but I’m also not sure how you could help,” Jake said, scratching his chin. “Not outside of helping procure items and such. Having you be directly involved in the process will definitely mess things up, as adding the Records of a living god can’t possibly be smart.”
“Any role I can play would be great,” Artemis smiled. “I suspect you already know this from the Viper, but the second you created the True Royal, an echo of Records was sent throughout the entire multiverse. Even I subtly felt it. The shift. This ability of yours can give birth to what perhaps once was or what could have been at the Origin of any Path. Of existence itself.”
Artemis looked down and straight through the floor toward the Warpsnatcher that was currently busy sorting shiny rocks into three perfectly evenly sized piles. “With all our talk of concepts, I don’t believe I need to tell you that the conceptual power involved in this ability of yours transcends anything I’m capable of. It’s not merely the creation of life, but alterations of Origins. Of entire Paths.”
Turning her attention back to Jake, she looked him directly in the eyes. “Thank you for trusting me with this knowledge. I strongly suspect I entered a very exclusive club of those who are in the know.”
“You have,” Jake nodded with a small smile.
“Imagining the other members of this club does feel a little frightening,” Artemis chuckled.
“Hey, if it’s any comfort, then I've got plenty more secrets that only the Viper is privy to. And a bunch that he doesn't even know about,” Jake said in a joking tone, despite what he said being perfectly true.
“How comforting indeed,” Artemis shook her head, briefly glancing down at the Warpsnatcher again. “Say, if you plan on effectively adopting this Shimmerfur Warpsnatcher, have you had any more thoughts on what to call him?”
“Maybe he already has a name,” Jake said in a hopeful voice.
“Only the enlightened or those who frequently interact with the enlightened tend to bother having names,” Artemis said.
Jake cursed a bit internally. Vesperia had been so nice because she already had a name for herself. Jake didn’t have to do anything there at all. However, now, it seemed he was forced into another situation where his horrible naming sense could lead to him getting bullied by half of the people he knew if he ended up choosing another stupid name.
I guess Snatchie is off the table already, Jake told himself as he tried to look at Artemis for help, as he nervously scratched the back of his head.
“Say... you wouldn’t happen to have any good name suggestions for a Shimmerfur Warpsnatcher?”

Not sure if you'll read this but I think a nice 'punishment' Jake could give the Sovereign is to either directly look after the kits or have one of the tribes move back in to the area but also allow the kits to live there as well.

Could go Lucifer for the warpsnatchers name. Means light-bringer in Latin and it’s mentioned a few times that if it wanted to it could go on a rampage and kill others in the hunting area. Plus would be great to see Miranda’s reaction to it being named after the devil

Boo = because he magically appears and can scare someone Merlin = because he magically disappears and reappears Lucky = because he befriended Jake who is willing to help him Buddy = because he is friendly and everyone who he sees he tries to befriend Momo = word play on the ME ME when asked what he wants to be named.. Just a few suggestions for names, can also do more if we have more descriptive of his appearance other than a small cat-like creature. Does he have multi-colors, feet colors that mimic BOOTS (another name) etc.

TwoMoreYears
He reminds me a lot of Stitch. I could totally see him remembering the movie and thinking the name works because it's not his usual naming pattern that gets made fun of, he looks/talks a little bit like the character, and he's tired of trying to think of something better. Plus no one outside of earth will think anything of it.

My bid is Veil ( redwall ferret) also I hope Jake learns the concept of gravity and it plays in being able to pull the arrow faster by creating an area of gravitational pull towards his target, further I feel like with his ability with auras he already has a start to the concept, lastly advent horizon and black holes
James Arnold
Call him Scottie… warp speed captain!
clovis
I love the name Snatchie/Snatchy, but I totally get why people aren't a fan of it.
Ray
I like Shimmer as a name
Reader++
Erra. Or Shimmer. Erra pronounced Air uh. Jake making a B grades records return to origin and all he has done before will leave a huge mark on the era and the future. Naming the warpsnatcher this moves Jake away from adding a y or an ie. Shimmer is cool to though too.

I'm partial to a lot of famous real or literary names, but for Artemis to suggest them she needs some sort of partial omniscience-esque skill to know things from pre-integeation Earth. Reference to famous theif names - Lupin as in Arsène Lupin from Sherlock Holmes - Swiper (Dora) but can be used without Artemis having a relevant skill - Non reference names: - Lief as in Lief the Thief - (something)leaf Kleptoleaf? Shadowleaf - Onyx from Nyx if they are a god - Rogue - Han as in Han Solo - Dillinger (John Dillinger) - Ali (Ali Baba) - Billy (Billy the kid) hits the -y ending too

Snatchie is already gold, no need to change it
TwistedVanity
Macavity. As in Macavity the mystery cat, also called the hidden paw. Whenever they looked, Macavity's not there. (TS Elliot) okay he's not a cat, but his shimmer ability magnified by origins should mean he can shimmer in and out of anywhere so seamlessly that no one should be able to detect him. Hence Macavity's not there. And the hidden paw is how I see him progressing. See the poem.
Néstor Rocha
"Swiper no swiping." That or Oswald. Ozzie for short.

As the little fella doesn't seem capable of full sentences yet: Jeff. Hi, my name Jeff.
Elijah Soleil
Some version of Vincenzo( the man who stole the Mona Lisa). Maybe Vinny, Vince, Vincey, or Vino.
Keith Douglas
Slider. I reckon Jake probably watched Sliders when he was growing up.
Only_Sams
I’m also partial to: Sam.
Only_Sams
Name: deàlradh It means glimmer, or glint. In Gaelic.
WaxDinosaur
Then Jake could call people out for their bad naming sense if they shorten it to Warpy
RedBeast7
Hans, after Hans Gruber the thief in Die Hard (which is definitely a Christmas movie)
Palmer Evans
Zigzi
Brittin Bennett
Jasper -male name -shimmering stone -stone the snatcher would likely have in its hoard -artemis can still be race derivative but not so on the nose like jake
Troy L
Arséne, another gentleman thief who can definetly be seen from the way that the shimmerfur is adorable now, but will surely become downright debonair later.
Sébastien Kingsbury
Jimmy the hand, Duke of Krondor Or just Jimmy if that's too long

The best Jake will ever canonically come up with is Shimmy and that's what it shall be
SPL1TT
I think it would be refreshing to have a beast companion with a rather normal name. The Reasoning is that I imagine he's a already a real eye catcher. He's cute and shimmery. He already stands out a lot and he will even more after evolving with Jake's help. So I'd go with a basic name like Tom or Finn.
Diego Rodriguez
Lemmiwinks would be great but I don't know if it's copy righted by South Park
Forrest
Swiper
Porter Haldiman
Since he’s a hoarder of wealth what about Midas or Plutus, both greek myth associated w that
Steven Myer
Jim. Damn it Jim, I'm a Hunter not a Doctor!

Sylphie calls Jake uncle, so it might get awkward if Apollo picked up that habit
Daymond Walford
Kaito? Gentleman thief. Or any gentleman thief.
Drake Harris
Definitely Matthew Lemons' suggestions: Auro, he has a great explanation to.

Blink. Short name that encapsulates how the warpsnatcher just pops up and out instantly.
Chris Polly

Beef Wrench
Nyx Klepto Lupine I've seen lots of nyx and klepto answers and both are really good and you know its race will likely change when evolving so wouldn't want a play on race name as much play on characteristics
brjenness
I want Artemis to come up with a name with deep meaning and when the go to ask if he likes it he says, "i already have a name...snatchy."
Erik Bekke
I could see Jake naming it "Shimmie" or Shim...
WaxDinosaur
Can other gods see/learn of Earth’s history? In my head canon that was a skill the Viper had. I remember something about gods getting an omniscience skill of sorts, but I thought Villy said his is different/better than most. Idk probably misremembering that
Spencer Needler
Harambe
Mitchell Kirby
Sharpie. Sh from Shimmerfur replaces the W from from warp, with an ie thrown in to continue the naming trend
WaxDinosaur
Smaug would be fantastic. Love this one.

Sylphie, will love Shim if he share his treats I mean treasures
Jamie
Shimmer!

Or just Tom, and make Tom become “Other Tom” because Other Tom isn’t as cute as Tom so he can’t have the same name as Tom because the cuteness factor. Imagine if you called for Tom but Tom showed up. It would get confusing. Plus Tom is helping Sandy find and eat better things but Tom would be trying to steal those things. Although Tom might use Tom to take the things that Sandy shouldn’t eat, so maybe they could work together in that sense.

I like Shimmy the best related directly to the name of the creature, since its shimmer abilities are more of a records thing then the snatching imo. Not creature type related i love Nyx.
John Kornegay
Maybe pull something from the “Einstein-Rosen Bridge” name? Like Ross? Or even Ozzie? I think picking from the pool of famous physicist names associated with relativity would be pretty cheeky and fun honestly. E=mc^2 Mc=mike? Okay hahahaha I’m done.
Staudi
My name recommendation for our little Fella is Ratchet. :)
Ariel Pablos
Torn between Artemis giving a solid name like Nyx or turning out to be just as bad at naming as Jake and calling it something like Snatchy or Warpy.

The little fellow is a hoarder, thief and a void traveler. So why not Hermes who was the patron god of merchants, thieves, and travelers.
Matthew Avery
Slinky. For two reasons. 1. I'm sort of hoping the origin of this translocator will be the simultaneous existance of all spacetime as the spring like jumps they do as they treat space as ground to cover like a slinky-like spring stretching between two points. 2. This guy is sneaking around for treasures. Why not be 'slinking' around. ❤ This would also be nice in the aftermath is one step is getting inspiration from this, with Jake gaining understanding of how one would treat any space and matter as grounds to take a step from, not just ground particles of dirt density, but any particle or weave of spacetime at all.

I just hope he accidentally slips and calls it Jake Juice out loud in front of Artemis. Villy would have sooo much fun with that and it would be a really entertaining chapter and hopefully future callbacks
Dray Kruesi
Too soon I think.
John Pfeffer
It moves like a ghost so it shoud be Blinky, Pinky, Inky, or Clyde.
InfernoDroid
Maybe Herman, or something not too on the nose
InfernoDroid
Some variation of Hermes, who is a god of thievery
Czar
'Swiper' as in "Swiper no swiping!"

Name the guy Scotty. Cause he can soulwarp beem you up. It fits with Jake always giving y end names too
Darion
Shimmy

major plot hole, continuity error. . . why hasn't Jake called Artemis, arty?
James
Hermes. God of merchants, thieves, and travelers.
Aviel
it's sounding like Kleptomania
bleakbreaker
Warren the warpsnatcher? Or maybe Willy the warpsnatcher? I feel like alliteration is Jake's natural next evolution
Joel Lindqvist
Snatchie. Obviously
Brian Donaldson
Def need an african sounding name. Thief based path
Matthew Lemon
Name Suggestion: Auro ------------------------------ I was thinking Auro because it has a natural sensitivity to auras which is where i got the Aur from. Also most nouns ending in O in spanish are masculine which is in line with its sex. Also its not exactly a creative name so its not too far off what Jake could think up . Additionally in Latin, "auro" is the dative and ablative case forms of the word "aurum," which means "gold. " I guess this meaning could connected to the Shimmerfur's interest in collecting things it deems valuable.

Problem is that is the multiverse leaking in. That God is out there and might be pissed or flattered.
Mikesch
I like the first one, as I think he might end up in Yggdrasil. Could jump between leaves inkognito and do stuff without godly interference
Colby Whiting
Hopper. He hops in and then leaves again
Matt Hibler
Zephyrus, as an nod to Zefram Cochrane from Star Trek lore as the inventor of the warp drive as well as Greek god of the west wind. It could fit in with the mysticism angle of the little guy's primeval origins.

How about Art. Like in The Artful Dodger

I think we should name him Musa and use the bananas in the ritual to add some timey-wimey stuff to his warp-snatching
John Fischer
Preferably not a dated reference like many of the suggestions seem to be. A shortening of it's species name might become limiting when giving its origin species a name later.
Micah B Graves
Hear me out. Frederick that's it no puns here just a name I personally love. Also it feels a little odd to name a fully realized being a pet name.
Mahmut Sacakli
Shimmers 😭
Tori Wolfe
Vanmer, that name is mentioned in discord by scarletvoid. I agree with the name and the description they came up with.
Void
Doubt anyone will see this, but my brain has decided a good name for the little guy is Vanmer. Derived from the words Observant and Shimmer. Vanmer our future collector of treasures.

It'd be great for Jake to be confronted with someone who has an even worse sense of naming than him.

My first thought was Jesse, it holds to the "e" sound at the end if it matters and is a relatively common name. Also nods to the great Jesse James. As I scrolled thru the long list of posts I personally liked the nod to Shirt with Stash, or maybe Stashy? (please just no fascination with biscuits... we don't need another cookie monster)

Why not name it after the guy the orange fuck head killed when he invaded earth. I can’t remember his name without going back to read it but it’s the one that really pissed Jake off when he died. If I remember he’s the one who helped set up the teleporter for Jake originally so it would fit with the warpsnatcher somewhat
Dalton Service
Mufasa
Niels Valkenborgh
Good thing it's not a Snatchwarper, that would be something else. As far as naming the little spacehopper, why not Felix? Naming something after someones characteristics like "Skippy" would be a Jake thing to do.

Benji or Klepto for me. Benji because of the dog movies that I loved as a kid. He can fetch stuff for Jake. Klepto. I named a cat that. Thank you for the chappy Zogarth!

I think Artemis should suggest Lampýrisma, which is Greek for shimmer, and Jake would just go with Lampy.
Mark Farrell
Agree with other comments below - Nyx or Nyxie is fitting for the character and stems from Greek mythology. Seems the natural response from Artemis.

Robin - like Robin Hood You could also go the Greek Mythology route and go with one of the famous thieves. I like Autolycus the son of Hermes and a mortal woman. He was renowned for his skill as a thief, especially his ability to make stolen goods invisible or change their appearance.

Swiper has to be it

Zogarth your readers' sense of naming sucks as bad as your own! Could lean into it, since everyone (myself included) does think it's hilarious. If you want something different, might I suggest: 1. Velaris Evokes stars and veils of light, suggesting shimmer and mystery. “It has elegance and sounds suitably arcane. It means ‘veil of the stars’ in an old dialect of the gods.” 2. Kaelith An ancient name meaning ‘he who slips between’. “It’s used in reference to elusive spirits in old myths—beings that exist in-between places.” 3. Myrrik Slightly mischievous, short and sharp. “It reminds me of an old god of mazes and hidden roads. I think it suits his trickster aura.” 4. Nixar / Nixarion A play on ‘nix’ (to vanish) and ‘nexus’. “It carries a weight of spatial centrality and erasure. A fitting paradox for a being who both disappears and anchors.” 5. Eshar / Eshari From a word meaning ‘gleam’ or ‘mirage’. “It speaks to illusion, beauty, and fleeting movement. And it rolls off the tongue quite nicely.” 6. Whisk / Whisken Light, nimble, and playful. Like a soft step or shimmer in the air. “Short and sweet, but not goofy. You can almost hear the little footsteps in it.” 7. Nyxil / Nyx Derived from ‘Nyx,’ the primordial night, with a mythic tone. “Suggests something elusive and quietly powerful—good for a space-warping critter.” 8. Lumen Connected to light, shimmer, and radiant energy. “Lumen evokes both brilliance and grace, while still feeling grounded. A solid name for something that shines without trying.” Bonus points if the creature then evolves with an origin like the name Artemis suggested, giving her a boatload of records, and we get an amusing dialogue of a bunch of Gods in the background scratching their heads wondering if the name influenced the orgin, or the other way around.

Azeban, or "the Raccoon," is a lower-level trickster spirit in Abenaki mythology.[1][2] The traditional homeland of the Abenaki is Wobanakik (Place of the Dawn), what is now called northern New England, southern Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Azeban (also spelled Azban, Asban or Azaban) is a raccoon, the Abenaki trickster figure. Pronounced ah-zuh-bahn. Got this from Wikipedia

Skippy.. Jake contemplates how he skips through space and decides that's a safer name only for the warpsnatcher to evolve to a space/void/time skipper dooming Jake to the redicule he hoped to avoid.

Something like Coruscis or Lucens? They mean shimmer/shining in Latin, and I think they sound pretty cool and cute! And shortened versions could be like Coru, Lucen, etc. but considering the likely name changes, Furantur, steal in Latin, is also quite a good name!

You know, in norse mythos there’s a squirrel that lives in Yggdrasil named Ratatoskr. Might fit here, though I think the warpsnatcher was said to look more like a cross between a cat and a porcupine? Maybe you could go with Cheshire after the vanishing cat in Alice in Wonderland.

Heidi might also be a fun one as the little creature is very elusive. However, the name might be too feminine
Bale
It has to end with an ”ie” or a ”y”. Sylphie because of Sylpihian. Sandy because of sand. This fella is a warpsnatcher. He steals. Like Sandy. They would meet and probably like eachother. So it has to go well with Sandy. Snatchie is to obvious. But we cannot forget that it is Jake whos gonna name it. Maybe Ziggy, but Zogarth hates league of legends and it reminds him of a champion called Ziggs. I would say Jake would call him ”Skippy” or ”Sneaky”
Nathaniel France
I think knowing Jake it should be a relatively not fancy name. So I’ll offer either Robin (for Robin Hood) or Harry (Harry Houidini), or if you want to get cheeky with it, Hoodini (the obvious fusion of the two)

Warpy McWarpface. Nah but in all seriousness. Echo. "Next, its body began to shimmer " given this line. It can help provide more flavor for its abilities. It teleporting to random rooms and back quick enough that makes it's movements look like a flip book animation. Or a faint outline kinda like Dr strange doing the hand wavy thing.

From the looks of things warpy, will probably win out. I also like the idea that Artemis also having a horrible naming instinct like Jake.

Just going to say with Jake's naming sense warpie, snatchie, or going for a stretch here Warshi, would fit the bill. With the last one I imagine he would even feel proud of his new creative naming sense by shuffling the race.

“(Imagining)Imaging the other members of this club does feel a little frightening,” Artemis chuckled.
Justin
How about Simon simple but an actual guys name based shimmer
Rewdan
Thanks Zogarth I have the same naming sense as Jake so I’m going to sit this one out.
Anna Y Williams
Shimmy/Shimmie
Cosmoros Subs
Snatcher xD.
Acksion
A yegg is a burglar. In Jake fashion, I say Yeggy!
Samuel Nelson
That would cause so much confusion.
Laurence
Warps
Jana
Arsène Lupin - I like that and Lupin is cute enough- Good one.
Shai182
TFTC! And what about Shimmer?
Ryan Ulrich
Swiper
Crysus
I like Scotty for warping 🤣
Calum
Darn it being male - Maggie (short for magpie cs it likes shiny things) would have been great
sam diehl
James
Jordan Greene
Galileo
Robert jacobs
Warp but in Jake’s secret heart his name is really Warpie.
Joshua Tamayo
Mischief, a fine name for a fuzzy mysterious thief!
Fdrugc
Bob the 3rd
Crysus
Too religious, also that’s a name for angels/demons, being Enochian and all
Ben Jordan
Could have plutus as he’s the god of wealth in Greek mythology and is associated with plenty and is seen to hoard wealth like the collection of stuff the Shimmerfur Warpsnatcher has.
Ethan Moore
swiper is def the move
Devin Williams
Grotto?
Kyle Jackson
Mittens
alex v
Jake Jr
Micheal Cook
Spike
Shaibene
I think Dash is a cool name
Matthew Paulin

bagghira05
Perhaps one of these, for the little thief? - Kleptikos - Furtivus
Laurent Jerry
Chippy
Alan Lint
Oy from Stephen King's Dark Tower series
eatingpitza314
Shimmy
Michael Fannon
Do you want the klingons to start an interuniversal holy war?
Laurent Jerry
Warpy
Fozzy
Lupin, the partial name of a gentleman thief who was a foil to Sherlock Holmes from a 1905 series.
Martinus Chrisjan
My vote is for Dash. He's a slippery boy and it is also a bit "cute"
Devin Williams
Cage? Grotto? Blink? Stash? Edit: Cast ye votes below
Iam PANKANK
I'M A CHUCKSTER!!! But in actual seriousness let Artemis blow Jake out of the water with the most practice name of Walker
Crysus
Shifty
John McEuen
Phil
Alex Webb
I feel like Loki would be a good name.
Canis
Shit.... That's pretty good.
Thomas Todd
I'm picking Elio
Alexander Nave
furittus - Latin for little thief
Crysus
Swipie
Calloway
The warpsnatcher should be named Winona
Ed S.
Furbie
Alexander C Hyde
So far, the Primordial hadn’t seen the need to comment or (tell)till Jake to shut the fuck up.
Abriel Blauer
Name suggestion: Artemis -> Artie -> Arthur
DragonsSin
Shimmer feels like a decent Jake name
denym123
Shimmery
Michael Fannon
Oh, just imagine the shenanigans if Minaga becomes involved.
Jaciel Arnulfo Maldonado
FUR-nando
joel southard
Thank you for the chapter
Luke Anthony
houdini or Clooney (ocean 11 ref)
kandiana
Ori (from the game)
BumAssBumAss
Spiky nugget
Nataliya
Argus is a Greek boys name that means shining/glistening which is kinda similar to shimmer
Evander
Tribble and yes because of the star trek reference.
Shafan Knight
And for the love of all that’s evil! No one should even consider Furbie! The thought of that annoying toy still makes my teeth itch.
Stephan Bartz
Swift!
Randall Jones
I really like the idea of Artemis having the same naming conventions and Jake not being able to convince anyone he wasn’t responsible for “Snatchie”. I saw this suggested earlier.
Harry
Here are some names that you could use. Warpie, Shimshim, Shifty, Puffsnatch, Glitch.
Zachar Holma
I believe the name of "Quill" would do wonders.
Jennifer Leigh
Had to look that up! I didn't watch enough to know Scotty's actual name. ;)
Phoenixdrop
You know he should probably start calling it origin energy at this point like Jake juice is funny in his own head but actually calling it that is embarrassing when not in close company and origin energy is a very cool name
El Necio
Warpy!!!
Jacob
Tftc. And for a name how about Shimmy
NSaaby
"Stash" I swear he is not a puppy
Sargon Yami
Toyol after a mytical mexican myth. Or brownie from scotland
Keldra
I like Blink too
Myridex
I forget what the Warpsnatcher is supposed to look like, but I imagine it to look like a tarsier with big ears. For names I would suggest Cosmo, since space affinity, or Tarzan, then when Jake meets Minaga again and is asked about the warpsnatcher he can say the name is famous and relate it to the Jones incident somehow.
BurningVoid
Name suggestion: Nimbus
Michael Fannon
Abu. Named after the monkey thief from Aladdin. Had a good heart, amazing thief, and was a hero. Also was a great animal sidekick, which would be also if Jake got one. Every hunter could use a bloodhound afterall.
Shafan Knight
Those are horrible names! You can do better than that!
Chewbacchus
Merfy, instead of Murphy!
fondlec
Name him Scrooge and let him swim in all his riches he‘s hoarding
Mathias rie
You should consider Shimmery :)
Jacob Via
The warpsnatcher reminds me of a kender from dragonlance so I vote kenny or tassle for tasslehoff
Niko Desgagnes
Warren
Keldra
Shimmy!
Cody Cahill
Yeah snatch or snatchy is completely on point for what Jake would name him haha
Jack Dawson
Hermes, the patron god of thieves, merchants and travelers
Naotsugu97
Steve, like the otter.
Joe Woodhouse
Blinkmink! :D
Maxime
I think it should be named MEGATRON
Joshua Morris
Just because it needs be said. I vote for Bob.
DBolt
Zip
Jonathan Hare
Bean.
Milos
Idea for a name: Blink or Whisp (Names are All our weaknesses)
Skruf
Caelun
kiewitz
Most obvious Jake style names: Shimm(-y?) Warpe Warpsy
tom husband
I do think it would be pretty funny if Artemis’s first suggestion was Snatchie
Martino Zanchi
I cast my vote for Gleam. I think it's a nice name.
Border_Reaver
Name idea for warp snatcher: Bric-a-blink or bric for short
Cypraxius
Warpy indeed 😂😂. Totally Jake style
Ethan Spitznogle
Bob!!
Alex R
Shimmie, Warpie Artemis also having a terrible naming scheme would be funny. Everyone makes fun of Jake for the poor name. He goes 'it wasn't me.' And noone believes him.
Ivo Wißen
How about Shiwa.
Shadowessence
Shimmy? Thatcher the snatcher?
John McGurn
Fred
Jack
Warpy
Jordan Rogers
It’s a male just name him Shim cause he’s a Him. But I still like GoGetter, cause he’s a real go getter.
Jeremy Stokes
Since the shimmerfur is a nice thief how about Lupin
Feen
Rob - cause he's gonna rob everyone
Celas
Phone the sword Saint get the lazy name Kirayuga. Distorted Shimmer.
Victor Link
Warpler
Ben Maes
I'm fond of "Whipple"
Apollo Greed
Walter!
JustTheLad
Jerry or something equally mundane could be funny.
Bookreader97
Hermes would be kinda cool. Assuming jake uses him as a personal teleporter. Maintains the Greek names like Artemis and is also male
Jana
So my first thought was „Nobody“ or „Noone“ since its definitely going to snatch stuff and Nobody swiping the loot is a joke in and of itself. But I think it might get tedious or maybe shortened - Nobby maybe :-P
Gabe Stankiewicz
Kevin the warpsnatcher would be an awesome name by the way 😂
Dougie Mitchell
Since he's totally a master of the warp, he's gotta be called Monty in honour of Montgomery Scott 😆
Jackdaw
Shimmer imo, shimmy is the name of a old timey dance move lol
Adam
Warp snatcher huh? Well using the warp aspect you got star trek names like Scotty. 40k names although I don't think Jake could pronounce Tzeentch. Weaver would work as warp is the threads on a loom. Those are the easy ones I see.
pterodactyl
Warpy
Tom
I don’t know if that’s an appropriate name, to much trauma associated with it
Wh1t3f0rg3
I vote for Lupin
Jared Prater
Azazel would be a cool name :)
Fulminis
Snatch Saw someone suggest it yesterday and I personally like it
dat guy
Snatchie is the perfect name for such a lovely creature is it not?
Adrianna Bailey
Name suggestion: Flicker or Flitter
Academic Geek
Warpwick has to be the perfect name...
Jonathan Venn
Margret Snatcher
Gabe Stankiewicz
*”Imaging the other members of this club does feel a little frightening,” Artemis chuckled* seems like there’s a typo! No big deal though zogarth! And thank you for the chapter!
Tim Miller
I vote his name is Greg.
Phoenixdrop
Shimmer could be a good name
Josh McMunn
What about the name: Mercury
Bryn Thomas
Wally the Warpsnatcher
Alex
Klepto... for kleptomaniac
Kt-x
Thanks for the chapter!
Abdulaziz ALRumaih
Salem A magical cat
Melodic
BEAN!!!!!!!! Name suggestion
Gavin
Grabbie, Keepsies, Takesies Backsies. Sinbad, Alibaba, Aladdin
Ranchx
I think Carl would be a great name for the warpsnatcher
Lo-Fi
My totally serious name idea: Mysty - Totally different because the other one is spelt Misty. So it is very original.
Douglas
I vote swiper
Christoffer bergstrom
Shimmer
Charles
Name Suggestion: Shimmer
Picasso
We can’t miss the opportunity to name him Shimmer (╹◡╹)
GeneralBlack
Minaga. Just the Chaos would be Humongous. Jokes aside Warpert maybe?
Thomasaurus Rex
Skip
Cody Parker
I vote Orion.
Exaiter
Snatchie. Gogogo
Unlisted Pokémon Hudson
Snatchie
Dan Brown
“I was think I just call him Shimmy.” “That is incredibly stupid.”
Daniel Everest
How about Loot as a name?
Frenzy
Swiper for the win!!! "Swiper, no swiping!" is such an iconic line and i can just imagine jake yelling this after Swiper steals some of his loot. Then Villy would be like "Was that a F*cking Dora the Explorer reference".
the oldest dream
Perfero
Leslaron
Warpie, you know it has to happen
Bogdan Roman
Shimmy :)))
hdfgdf
Shimmers
Profile Name
Swiper, no swiping!
Brandon Yarberry
Shimmie
LongMickeyRicky
I think snatch would be good
TDMC
The only name worthy of such a being is Swiper, obviously. At least he should know the rule of “swiper, no swiping!” Against Jake
Reyhulko
Shimmy?
Person
I think you should name him Snachie
Dow Adkins III
Dylan! For the warpsnatcher
Adam Jones
You should call it swiper
Sylphie
REE!!
SCHWING PAPI
