So, you're a Filmmaker. You're sitting down with a Scriptwriter between the Watercooler and the Coffeemaker, trying to decide on a name for your epic story about a guy who verbs nouns. Yeah, he verbs them till they're adjectives. Wait, that's it! He's the Noun Verber! This isn't a very popular trope for the actual titles of movies or TV shows, but it's an old standby for fantasy and science fiction authors who need a name that sounds detached from the real world and yet is immediately understandable. For some reason, a very common verb for this is "stalk." The most common noun is probably "death." Of course this construction is extremely common in Real Life too. Firefighter, cab-driver, wine-maker, ironmonger, car dealer, Ambulance Chaser, ditch-digger, lion-tamer, news-reader, coal-miner, watchmaker, computer programmer, bartender, gas-fitter, dishwasher, childminder, wine-taster, greengrocer, snack-dispenser, bricklayer, dressmaker, chess-player, piano-tuner etc. etc. Compare Luke Nounverber (when the same principle is applied to character names), Verber Creature (the same principle applied to how a species is called) and The Noun Who Verbed. Adjective Noun Fred could be considered the intersection of this trope and Protagonist Title. See also We Will Use WikiWords in the Future. A common part of a Verbal Business Card. |

World of Warcraft might be the number one addict of this trope. If you can make nounverbers and put two words together into a made-up compound word, congratulations, you're at least as good as the whole Blizzard creative team. Somewhat justified by the theme-park nature of the game, in that the name you see may not be the "proper" name of the creature/person, but merely a description. For example the warlock pet called a "voidwalker". This is obviously a description of the creature given to it by warlocks who summon the creatures, as the voidwalkers themselves don't speak any intelligible language. Contrast with other warlock pets like the felguard (which is clearly a rank title). Occasionally though the game will be very annoying and not actually show the creature doing the thing they are named after. When it's a name (like Kael'thas Sunstrider), it's clearly intended as a translation from a fantasy language. Not helping matters though, Blizzard never made these languages. Still it's a naming convention rather than this trope. |

In Wax and Wayne, 300 years after the Catacendre, Feruchemy has been diluted in the population to the point that instead of all sixteen powers, a Feruchemist only has access to one each.

''The Stormlight Archive: Each of the ten Orders of the Knights Radiant identified by such an appellation. Only the Dustbringers have a problem with theirs, insisting on the euphemistic "Releasers" out of a feeling that their proper name is too close to the similar name of the forces of the setting's Big Bad: the Voidbringers. Many Shardblades have been given a name of this type. We see examples such as Sunraiser, Loremaker, and of course, Oathbringer. |

Farscape appears to subvert this trope. The Peacekeepers are much more unnecessarily violent and cruel than peaceful, but the majority of them seem to believe they are doing what's right to protect the galaxy, even when they do more harm than good. In "The Peacekeeper Wars", it is revealed that a group of the shared ancestors of Humans and Sebaceans were taken from their homeworld by Eidelons, a group of very powerful negotiators who can influence rationality in others, and used to keep the peace after negotiations finished. Once the Eidelons disappeared, the Peacekeepers kept peace the only way they could, "at the barrel of a gun", indicating that originally, at least, the trope was played pretty straight. | |

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Note that this is due to the American translation. The original name of the game was "Kaze no Takuto" which translates to "Baton of Winds". Not that 'Baton of Winds' is that dramatic of a title. |

Magic: The Gathering is positively brimming with nounverbers, such as the famous Planeswalkers. Many of their nounverbers verb nouns with verbs that don't even make sense. How does one weave smoke? Or braid it? How does one grin gristle? Why would some elves who live in the wild want to slay it? What's so great about a creature who can see something six feet away? And who would ever want to buy spirits from a giant monster? | |

Warhammer 40,000 has a few Chaos Legions that fit this trope - Word Bearers & World Eaters, for example. As does the Imperium, such as the Blood Drinkers and Flesh Tearers. Yes, those are the good guys (relatively speaking, of course). Many Chaos forces use the [noun/adjective]verber template: Bloodthirsters and Bloodletters are the greater and lesser daemons of Khorne (Bloodletters riding Juggernauts, giant evil rhinos made of living metal, are called Bloodcrushers instead), while Blood Slaughterers are huge tick-like Walking Tanks. Earlier editions included siege weapons such as the Blood Reaper, Death Dealer, and Doom Blaster. If you're sensing a theme here, Khorne is empowered by the spilling of blood, from his faithful's enemies or themselves. Chaos warmachines include the Forgefiend (giant robot centaur with guns instead of arms and head), Maulerfiend (melee version of the Forgefiend), and Heldrake (living metal dragon). Nurglite forces can include Plaguebearers, Eyestingers, Spoilpox Scriveners, and Sloppity Bilepipers, and favor a huge scythe called a Manreaper. The Tyranids have a Carnifex variant known as a Screamer-Killer. The orks, being a straightforward lot, tend to give their troops, weapons and vehicles names that are as subtle as a choppa to the face: Tankbustaz are anti-armor specialists, the Lifta-Droppa lifts and drops a vehicle (preferably on its allies), the Deffrolla is a big spiky cement roller affixed to a battlewagon (itself a combination of tank, bunker and pickup truck), and then there's the wonderfully evocative Bonebreakaz, Braincrushaz, Bonecrunchaz, Gutrippaz, Spleenrippaz, Gobsmashaz, Lungburstaz, and other Bowelburnaz. The Eldar, not to be outdone, have troops such as the Death Jester, Bonesinger, Spiritseer and Dark Reapers, and a class of weapons known as Deathspinners. The users of said weapons, however, are an aversion - at least until someone figures out what it means to be spiding the warp. |

The Cosmere: Warbreaker has many of the Returned with names like this, such as Blushweaver, Lifeblesser, and the titular Warbreaker, although not all Returned have this type of name. ''The Stormlight Archive: Each of the ten Orders of the Knights Radiant identified by such an appellation. Only the Dustbringers have a problem with theirs, insisting on the euphemistic "Releasers" out of a feeling that their proper name is too close to the similar name of the forces of the setting's Big Bad: the Voidbringers. Many Shardblades have been given a name of this type. We see examples such as Sunraiser, Loremaker, and of course, Oathbringer. In Wax and Wayne, 300 years after the Catacendre, Feruchemy has been diluted in the population to the point that instead of all sixteen powers, a Feruchemist only has access to one each. Each type of Feruchemist has a name, four of which are this trope: Bloodmaker, Soulbearer, Windwhisperer, and Steelrunner. |
