Brainstorming a name for a Mexican Kobold Gunslinger
Just like the title says. With the Ultimate Combat Playtests, I've fallen in love with the Gunslinger. Even though we're playing Curse of the Crimson Throne, my DM decided to be nice and allow me to play a Kobold (despite it not fitting in with the world that well) on the condition that I give him a big floppy sombrero and a mustache.
However, I'm finding myself stuck on a name. El Muchacho has a nice ring to it, but I'm also trying to brainstorm any alternates and I'm frankly coming up blank.
There's a gazillion American gunslinger names out there, from Wild Bill to John Dillinger to Billy the Kidd, but precious little in the way of famous Mexican/Spanish gunslingers (though I guess they would be called banditos).

Frito. Then he can be The Frito Bandito.

Perro Sarnoso Gruñón
(Mangy Grumpy Dog)
Perro (dog) sounds almost like Pedro ( spanish for Peter ). Sarnoso is a pun with Cardoso, a common surname. Gruñón is just a way to add a strong sounding surname.

I'm not sure I get the little piggy, but Gordito is absolutely perfect. I kept trying to think of where I kept getting my mental image of this character from, and I realized it was Gordito from Dr. McNinja. Little Kobold Gordito is WAY too awesome of a concept.
Now I wonder if I can persuade my DM to let me ride a raptor...
EDIT: Ninja'd (appropriately enough). What are the rules for acquiring and taming a non-standard mount like a raptor?

Simply Pepe would do fine for a Kobold I believe, has that comical touch to it that I think you are after.

What system are you using? If 3.5, the DMG has a pretty standard system on buying a tame mount based on either CR or hit dice. And of course, warbeast template has rules about it.

Both wrong. It's in III.
Anywho, I vote Gordito Banderas.
