Please help me name my Evil Winged Squirrel

Rare Winged Squirrel

Above: an Evil Winged (make sure you pronounce "winged" in two syllables) Squirrel given to me by my friends Gretchen and Bill. I've been trying to think of a name Evil enough to suit this squirrel but have been unsuccessful so far.

So I welcome suggestions for Evil names! If I end up picking your name, I'll write a poem about you. Post below or in Livejournal.

Haven't yet decided on a name yet, but here are some poems in appreciation. :-)

FOR PETER ELLIS:

The squirrels gather 'neath the trees
to talk of Peter Ellis.
They say he's so tough he eats bees
and picks his teeth with malice.

They have a plan, the squirrels do,
to kidnap him next spring
and make him leader of them all:
Peter, The Squirrel King!

FOR PETER ALWAY:

Célestes Ecureuil is a wonderful name,
one to savour and bounce
upon the tongue, 'cept I'm ashamed:
...I don't know how to pronounce
it!
