xen names

[adnolug]

The term "Houndeye" or "Bullsquid" or any other of the official names for a majority of Xenians were never actually spoken in half-life games, and not everyone agrees on the same names as we see in half-life Alyx, where Russell refers to the antlions as "Leggies" but seems completely unfamiliar with the term "antlion".

Give me your ideas on how the local populace(YOU!) would name these alien creatures.
