English term

(snarling) skale

English to Spanish Other Gaming/Video-games/E-sports
No encuentro una traducción para esta palabra por lo que recurro a ustedes. Se trata de un fragmento de un video juego del que sólo tengo un párrafo que incluyo a continuación como contexto. Parece que se trata de una jauría de perros (??), pero quisiera saber si hay una palabra equivalente en castellano para "skale". Gracias por sus aportes e ideas!

There's nothing like the countryside of Beetletun. When the sun peaks over the mountains in the morning the air seems to stand still. Right up until you notice the pack of **snarling skale**stampeding your way.

In the world of video games A "skale" is a necromancer (in Spanish = nigromante) see reference:http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Ancient_Skale
So it would be something like: Manada de nigromantes gruñiendo....or like Leonardo says you can just leave it because it is a made up name

Example sentence:

There are two general shapes for skale. The more fish-shaped skale (like the Bog Skale in the adjacent picture), and the more reptilian shaped skale (namely found in Elona) like Skale Lashers.

Hay dos formas generales de saurios: los más parecidos a los peces, como los saurios de ciénaga, y los más parecidos a reptiles, concretamente los encontrados en Elona, como el saurio azotador.

Mariana,

Skale: The references I get (which you probably have already) are:
a village in Slovenia, middle english for "shell", a norwegian word).
Probably, since it concerns a videogame, is an invented name and you could leave it as such.

Reference:

Skale

Skale are a species of monsters in the bestiary of Guild Wars.
Skale are humanoid fish creatures who walk semi-upright. There are two general shapes for skale. The more fish-shaped skale (like the Bog Skale in the adjacent picture), and the more reptilian shaped skale (namely found in Elona) like Skale Lashers and Ridgeback Skale. They are likely amphibious, since they are only found in areas close to water, like rivers, lakes or swamps. Also, they have webs between their claws and drop fins.
