16Originally based on
17[`random-animal-name-generator`](https://github.com/adzialocha/random-animal-name-generator),
18then modernized, then moved to Deno. Notable differences include:
19
20- Async dictionary loading
21- Consistent capitalization
22- Removal of compound animal names
23- Removal of some nonexistent animals
24
25I'm not certain as the the origins of these dictionaries, but there seems to be
26some alignment with the Scribblenauts wiki. Be aware that many of the adjectives
27are made up.
