QuoteI need a name here guys, for a back story. I'm looking for a bird or beast in (Spanish) the native tongue of Argentina that would relate to a bird or beast that hunts fish. Here I might be tempeted to use Kingfisher or Barracuda.

Ok, not necessairly an animal either, but the final product is a plane that kills ships. Pucara is the word for fortress for example. I was thinking about Orca too but well, that's just not too cool. More describes my sister and a buffett.
Here is a mythical beast from Argentina (in Spanish).  Basically it describes something called an uturunco that's kind of like a weretiger.

I just spent 10 minutes trying to find out the Spanish, or local Argentine name, for the Osprey. It's a majestic bird, but they might have a name that sounds really sissy.

Oh well, it's a thought anyway.
