For some context to this Critical Role (CR) scene, from *[CR 3x25 - "A Taste of Tal'Dorei"]...* :) 1. (1:21) *_"Mike Hunts"_** ~* Love the facial expression of, _"Oh god, what I have I done?,_ on Dungeon Master Matt Mercer's face for the poorly, on-the-spot, named NPC *_Mike_* ("Mick") *_Hunts._* As also remarked by Mercer (2:22), _"This is the problem with making shit up on the spot. Sometimes- Sometimes it's not a winner!"_ *;)* 2. (1:08) *_"I don't even know what you are, but you're adorable!"_** ~* In this scene's episode, the Bells Hells (BHS) crew are attempting to infiltrate a city-based fortress... - a.) *Undercover ~* Fearne Calloway (Ashley Johnson) attempted to scout ahead by using her Druid Class-ability to _Wildshape_ (shapeshifting, animals only) into a *Quokka* (aka the Short-tailed Scrub Wallaby), a small nocturnal burrowing marsupial native to Western Australia. - b.) *"Capture"* (note "quotations") *~* While Fearne was able to burrow under the front gate into the front courtyard, Fearne (still a Quokka) was spotted trying to sneak into the fortress. The guards "captured" Fearne, but with the (unknowing) intention of keeping the Quokka-Fearne as a pet. - c.) *Escape ~* Fearne would undergo a number of small animal hijinks in trying to escape the guards' adoring attentions, and return to the BHS group. 3. *_Quokkas_** ~* As a side-note, Quokkas are indeed incredibly cute, and have very little fear of humans. However, like many Australian fauna, Quokkas can also be *_very dangerous._* Quokkas have sharp claws (remember: tree-climbers and burrowers), and very strong jaws (i.e.: Quokkas can chew cacti, needles and all, without harm). If you provoke a Quokka and it latches onto you in attack, you will need a crowbar to get it off you; either to crowbar-lever the Quokka off you, or beat the Quokka to death, with the Quokka tearing parts off you with claws and jaws in the meantime.

@@ittyandpocky ~ Nope, Matt Mercer's hilarious naming flub was indeed, _Mike _*_("Just Call me 'Mick'!")_*_ Hunts._ *;)* This is confirmed by the Critical Role Wiki, and the Closed Captions/subtitles for the [CR 3x25] episode itself (not the CC/subtitles for this UA-cam clip).
I don't think it's scripted. But there is no way Matt didn't know what he was doing. Mike Hunt is a very known joke. The chances of landing on that by accident is crazy.
@@yiklongtay6029 I think it was more like "Maguntz" and thats just how it came out. He kind of hinted at that when he said its not how it was in his head.
@@yiklongtay6029 When you've had to come up with literally hundreds, if not thousands of fantasy names, you're going to eventually make something that sounds like a curse without realizing it (monkeys-typewriters-Shakepeare and all that). Especially since the whole point of that joke is that it can pass for a real name if you're not paying attention. Many fantasy writers and DMs create fantasy names by taking a real name and changing the ending (for example, George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire has given us "Samwell" for "Samuel", "Eddard" for "Edward", "Catelyn" for "Catherine", and "Rickon" for "Richard"). I can easily see Matt deciding on the name "Michael" and changing it to "Michant" without realizing how that will actually sound out loud.

Pretty sure it's actually Micant, not Mike Hunt.

Ah Australia, why am I not surprised.😂
Sometimes it gets cold in the forest and Mike Hunt shivers and quiffs.
From the man who created Purvon, we present Mike Hunts.
To be fair, Matt could've picked any name. Any. And he went with this. With these group of people. So, you gotta expect it
Matt’s expression: “Honestly, I blame myself for this one.”
And people think this show is scripted.

Honestly Matt should run every name by a 13 year old
Or just Laura
"Throw a baby at him!"
Having Liam say My name Micah is really crazy lol
I’m gonna get get get you drunk, get you love drunk with Mike Hunt - Black Eyed Bards
As a DM I've been there. You get so in the flow you forget to filter things through the "13 year old boy" filter 😂
in the animated series they should make the guy bald with a saggy hoodie and a fur pelt. then just call him Mick.
What’s next, Cape Horn?
Or Mike Litt.
@@akrumvatum1627 Or Dixie Rect
He asked for it.
That is hilarious! Thanks for the clip.
I'm actual dead
Mike Hunt?
Pretty sure it's one word
Like Mickeunt or something
Mikhant
Mikhan is an actual name so he probably tweaked it a bit.
I think it was Mie Gunts at first.
It's Mike hunt but due to the accent It's sound different I think
