How do you pronounce otyugh?

[bigbadbanana]

This question has been bothering me ever since I started to play a rainbow. I pronounce it like oh-tee-yoo. How about you?

[Nume]

I just say Oty... . If I have to say the whole thing I would probably say it like Ot ee ugh (like uh but with a kinda g sound included....).

I have always pronounced it as Oh-Tee-Ug.

My reaction when an Otyugh comes out:
Oh!  What a blow.
Tee!  He is tickling me.
Ug!  He is eating my mug.

Using a quick Wikipedia article and an IPA chart, I found out that it's actually supposed to be pronounced "aht yug" or "ott yug".

But, like Nume, I just say "Oh tee yug" most of the time.

SG, you're really going to trust that? I trust Wikipedia, Dungeons and Dragons, and the International Phonetic Alphabet

I have full confidence in "Ewa - female Polish voice".

If "Ewa - female Polish voice" cannot pronounce weird fantasy words in English, then I don't know who can.

Though, I'd have greater confidence in aliens. They always pronounce things right.
I pronounce Otyugh like that "Sca raaab fo ood"

Funny you should mention this, my friend took a whole bunch of weird names (including otyugh and chrysaora) and put them into a text to speech thingy. Otyugh sounded like AW-t-YOO, with a bit of a british accent (the voice didn't have one, it was pretty weird 0.0).

I have always and will always say OT(AWT)-ee-UGH.

awt yug doesn't sound quite right, icy.
