Hey so in my current story there is an evil substance that is sweeping across part of the continent. Everything that it touches either dies or becomes a form of undead, depending on the organism. The substance itself is a necrotic ooze-like substance. It is later discovered to be a sentient being who's creation is a byproduct of all of the evil energy from necromantic magics being used in the region.
So the problem is the name. I don't want it to have an actual name. I want it to just be referred to as a disease or something by people since they don't know what it is. My mind keeps going to things like "the Blight", or "the Netherblight", but these have already been used in some form. Any ideas of where I could find some inspiration for something like this?
