==Iron Wolf Names== | ===Iron Wolf Names=== | ||
There are quite a few tongue-twisting names available for Iron Wolves. One is randomly assigned to each of the Iron Wolves your character sees on the hireling menu. As is the case with lots of weapons in the game, and especially with the names of NPC mercs, the Blizzard North designers worked in the names of Blizzard employees, and notable members of the Diablo II fan community. The last 3 Iron Wolf names (they are listed in this order in the game database file, making it clear that the honored fans were added last) are all fans; Jarulf is the author of the famous [[Jarulf's Guide|Diablo guide]]. Flux was one of the webmasters of [http://www.Diabloii.net Diabloii.net] (co-webmasters Elly and Gaile both showed up as Act One rogue mercs). And Scorch was the author of the first monster specialty site, Darkness, which was hosted by Diabloii.net. | There are quite a few tongue-twisting names available for Iron Wolves.
