I don't see what's so hard about the hard about the word, it makes sense to me how it can be pronounced.

Although I am thinking with English which doesn't have any one specific set of rules for pronunciation. So I guess it could be a "fla" or "flow" in it.

in fact that discussion could be extend to any of the proper nouns in this game.

I'm surely not pronouncing the ages' names like someone with an english background pronounces them.

In my mind, the urglefloggah just sounds awful. If it sounds good in a germanic language like english, german, dutch that's fine. Anyway, I think I saw that dragon once or twice since the game opening back in July 2011.

You can pronounce it as you want. When we introduced this avatar Mystler had a different pronounciation then me... So it's not very important.

@Annabelle: My avatar is Toothless from "How to train your dragon". It's one of the best films I ever saw.

This is all very interesting and astounding ... I just googled a bit, because I wanted to know more
about what this might be all about as everything derives from anything, consciously or unconsciously ... :P

What I found about the 'Urglefloggah' is that it is a creature from Terry Pratchett's novel '(Faust) Eric'
from the Discworld series ... Anybody interested could read a bit here where Eric and Ricewind
actually meet Urglefloggah, being the guardian of the portal of hell ...

I've added Urglefloggah's name to a dictionary to autodetect the language and it gave back 'Icelandic' which
sounds quite good to me and I can well imagine it being an icelandic mythical creature or at least deriving from
the icelandic mythology in any way ... :)

I also watched a few YouTube 'Toothless' dragon videos resp. "How to train your dragon" videos and I can only
agree, Opa, this film seems to be really awesome, so lovely and wonderful ... Please, all interested watch this
Trailer and this one with many funny and cute scenes ... Yeah, however, it is sometimes nice to follow the
trails behind seemingly peripheral or accidental occurrences or appearances ...

I wonder when we'll get so see your 'Dragon', Opa, the real one ... :D

I think it is pronounced like Er-gul-fla-gah.
I can tell you from Opa that he insists on pronouncing it like Uurr-gleh-flog-gah. ;)

It seems to be pronounced as it is spelled, exactly as I expected it to be ... Somehow I just felt reminded of
a german children's book and film by Max Kruse called 'Urmel aus dem Eis', please, watch this short trailer
if you like ... You cannot really compare Urmel with Urglefloggah, though I can imagine this being the childhood
story or just a children's version or something like that ... :D

The only question I have is when will we see Urgle again?
It always seems to be Mr Rosenqvist and maybe Amelia.

(for the record I pronounce it as Ehren does)

To be honest with you Opa, when I first saw your Toothless avatar,
I had forgotten about "How To Train Your Dragon" (which I agree is one of the best animated films I have seen).
I actually thought of this guy instead :
