Make up your own collective nouns (fiction AND nonfiction)

(A collective noun is something like “a murder of crows” or “a *pride *of lions” or “a *shiver *of sharks”)

Here’s how this game goes:

I’ll post an animal/thing below and the next person creates a new collective noun for a group of it AND ends their post with a new noun for the next poster. Doesn’t matter if it already has one, but if it does don’t use the real collective noun. Try to be creative/funny/ironic with both the collective noun and the new noun!

Feel free to use nouns from fiction. Dragons, stormtroopers, borg, whatever.
