Not trying to complain about the name but I was just wondering. Within the universe of Tremors, what would be the formal name used for Ass-Blasters? I imagine that science articles, zoology journals, and children’s animal books would prefer to use a different name. Could it be Flying Shriekers? Bombardier Graboids? Thinking back to Tremors 4, Tecopa suggests Native Americans encountered Graboids in the past. Could ABs be the possible basis for the legendary Thunderbirds?

Long question, but certainly valid!  Yes, the press and the scientific community would definitely have had to tone down Jodi’s graphic impromptu name.  It’s not something we thought about even going into the TV series. Internally we just call them ABs, but it does seem folks would have wanted something more descriptive.   Not sure shrieker or graboid in the name works.  Thunderbird might be an option, but one would have to check how that would square with Native Americans.  At the moment we confess we’re  stumped for something better.  Maybe more fans can chime in?
