There are a variety of reasons that I have heard
from people who use the alternative name, and they
basically boil down to people making fun of the title
of the book. The book is about Gloranthan creatures,
hence the animal reference. In short, a number of
people find the title of the book both obscure and
unevocative. Most feel that the title doesn't catch
a new reader's attention or explain
what the book is about. It's kind of like the debate
over what to call the "Dragon Pass" book (Kerofinela).
