Random monster messages

Fellow Illarionites,
in order to enhance the athmosphere of Illarion, a new feature needs you support. Some of you might know that, for testing purposes, mummies sometimes yell for "Brains!".
We plan to expand this feature to all monsters. Each monster race shall have a set of auto messages they speak or emote. These messages will only appear rarely, much less often than the current auto emotes of NPCs. Also, by writing a high number of fitting messages, they will not repeat over and over again. And this is where I need your support!
For each monster race (mummies, demons,...) we need at least ten messages in german and english. [Edit] Just write down the messages without any need for special code in both languages.
Please avoid the following:
-Localisation; each monster can appear anywhere and thus, an elf should not yell "Get out of my forest!" or similar
-Jokes. One humorous message each monster race is OK, but not more.
-Messages that cannot be repeated, like "#me cuts off her pony tail and screams."
-Messages that make no sense during Illarion melee like "#me runs away." or "#me casts a spell."
-Race/gender/situation depending messages like "#me approaches the human male while it crawls over the dungeon floor."
-Bad spelling, caps,...
Good messages are battlecries, challenges, insults, generic emotes or general yelling like "Vorsicht!","Verboten!","Alarm!" . The more, the merrier, ten messages each race are the total minimum.
Keep in mind that the messages are all the same for a race of monsters, a human necromancer will say the same as a human bandit. Also, never will these messages depend on who is around, like insulting female elves with other swears as orc males.
How can you help? Grab a race and fill in the messages! Post here which race you'll take, first come, first see. Only take one race if you really want to work on this within the next few days. You can also team up with a translator if you are not able to write in english or german.
I am curious and excited about your results, fellow Illarionites. Let's work together to make this game a better one!
Yours,
GM Estralis
