Badgers! Lovely Badgers!

My kids play "Champions of Norrath II" on the Playstation 2 (A bit like
Everquest). There is a lizardman druid character class that can summon
badgers. When he out spell energy he says (In a vaguelt Peter Loree
accent) "Owwwwt offf Mannaaaaaaa"

My kids then all shout (in there versions of a vague evil voice)
"Owwwwt of Badger"

Minor point: scorpions are nocturnal; though they live in sunny climes, I
wouldn't describe them as "sun-loving". (Unless there are some diurnal
species which you know of?) Some spiders however (wolf spiders) do bask in
the sun in the morning to warm up. "Sun spiders" (solifugids) however are
nocturnal. Butterflies, dragonflies/damselflies and grasshoppers could be
described as sun loving. ("Attack, my mighty butterflies, attack!!!")

more useful to summoning:
Cheetahs would be a better fit than lions as they are strictly diurnal
(daylight-living), whereas lions are active by night as well as by day. Also
baboons, meerkats (and possibly some others in the mongoose family),
groundhogs/groundsquirrels, all antelope species, elephants, rhino. There
are many species which would prefer to be diurnal but switch to more
nocturnal activity patterns in response to human hunting pressure (eg.
elephant in some areas), so the fact that something is nocturnal now does
not necessarily mean that it would be so in a human-free wilderness area.

I suppose that can be allowed.
But the job of Greecian Snake is taken.
Will we need to fight over who gets Egypt?
