What Underworldling Should I Name My #StringOfWatermelons...

So far, the only Underworldlings I know of are Tantalus the Thirsty (but it’s already taken by my thirsty little #TomatoPlant lol) and Sisyphus. Here’s a pic!

Well, both of those aren't really real underworldlings, just bad decision makers with very bad luck. If you want to go underworld, why not with its king, Hades. Or since it has more than one "neck" his little three headed doggie Cerberus? To complete the underworld set, you can also add his wife Persephone, though... while she is with Hades all plants die, so that is hardly ideal πŸ˜€
If you aren't bound to the underworld concept, I always think Medusa fits a plant like this very well. Or if you want to stick with the underworld but prefer a love theme and have another plant that seems to be in need of rescue and might not make it, why not name this one Orpheus and the other one Eurydice.
Sry if this is a bit much, I don't often get the chance to go full on nerd. πŸ˜‰
Ah... or if you want to go and complete your set with the bad decision makers with really bad luck suffering the consequences of their actions, I'd say Prometheus is who you want.
And as last "person" directly in the underworld I can offer Charon, the ferryman.
@MusicalRedmint I love all your suggestions! Might steal a few myselfπŸ˜‰
@mtplantlady if you do not mind that Medusa is already taken and we need to shareπŸ˜€ my sundew very clearly needed that name.
Also: of course I do not mind. If you need more nerdy mythology mono- or dialoguing with name suggestions strewn about, you know where to find me. πŸ˜‰
@mtplantlady have just taken a look at your oasis. That is one wild mix of names, spanning 3000 years of the best of humanityπŸ˜€
@MusicalRedmint Love it! Thanks☺️
