So my boyfriend heard the solution and told me he considers it an unfair answer. Admittedly, he follows very rigid hangman rules way beyond our mostly-casual play (he wouldn't allow spaces or proper nouns ala shaiger's Kuiper Belt, for example), but I figured I'll give additional clarification. The answer is a connected adjective and noun, and the answer works in the context of either mythology or entomology. The adjective and noun are not mandatorily connected, but they could together describe a hypothetical subject from either interpretation. It is not a proper noun.
I apologize if I made this one too hard, and if we want to just scrap it I'd happily give the floor back to shaiger to supply another puzzle.
