Hi

The Dragon book, led my thoughts to "Here be dragons"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_be_dragons

"In another context, software programmers sometimes use it to indicate
especially difficult or obscure sections of code in a program so that others
do not tamper with them."

Why not some dragon name ? or maybe someone can use this idea to come up with
something else.
