Help me, Mexican furries!
17 years ago
Nobody expects inquisitions about Spanish!
I'm planning on making a Luchador character (eventually a fursuit) and since I've never paid attention to Mexican wrestling before I feel like a total poser trying to design him ^_^;
So if there's anybody out there who knows a thing or two about mexican wrestling and/or Spanish, I want your help! Mostly just to bounce some ideas off of you... show you mock-up sketches, etc. Here's an example of the help I need...
I'm deliberating on his name. He's a goat, so with the help of *cringe* online translators, I figured I'd like to call him the Luchacabra- A play on Chupacabra... but a friend told me that that name is feminine because of the A at the end... But that I could use "El Luchacabro" though I think it sounds a little too far off of Chupacabra :3 so then first of all A) Is the name any good to begin with? and B) Is it feminine, and if so, is there hope to fix it?

Also wikipedia has a good article on Luchadores with a wealth of info into the culture, history and the various ins and outs.

Secondly, don’t listen to that other person. Luchacabra sounds great. Cabra is the word for goat in Spanish. It’s written that way for both male and female, so that’s not a problem. Remember that Spanish is my main language, so it’s best to listen to me about it than some other person who can’t distinguish between the sexes over a simple letter. Also, the word is “luchador” which literaly means fighter/wrestler.
