Generate murder drone names in two flavours: single-letter serial designations and worker-drone names in the style of the Glitch Productions series, plus original hunter-killer drone callsigns and model names for any dark sci-fi setting.
About murder drone names
"Murder drone" means two things to most people searching for it. The first is the Glitch Productions animated series Murder Drones, where the disassembly drones N, V and J are named only by a serial letter and the worker drones they hunt carry ordinary names like Uzi, Thad and Lizzy. The second is the broader sci-fi idea of a hunter-killer machine, from Terminator's HK-Aerials to the reapers and predators of military fiction. This generator covers both, so you can build a fan OC or an original killer drone for a horror or cyberpunk story.
For series-style names, the rules are simple: a disassembly drone is "Serial Designation" plus one letter, and any letter other than N, V and J is fair game. Worker drones use plain, slightly nerdy human names, and the humour comes from the contrast. For original murder drones, three patterns work well. Nicknames borrowed from carrion birds, venomous insects and blades (Vulture, Recluse, Flenser) sound like something ground crews would paint on a fuselage. Ominous abstract nouns (Quietus, Blackout, Kill Switch) suggest a corporate product line trying to sound sleek. Formal designations such as SD-06 Culler or Charon-class Reaper give a fleet a believable manufacturing lineage.
Mix the styles inside a single setting; a squadron might be officially the Erebus-class but known to everyone as the Widows.
Tips for choosing a name
- For a Murder Drones OC, stay close to canon format: 'Serial Designation' plus one unused letter, or a plain human name for a worker drone.
- Give original killer drones a two-layer name, an official designation (SD-11 Purger) and the nickname the humans use for it (Lamprey).
- Carrion birds, parasites and surgical tools make better drone names than generic words like Death or Destroyer because they imply how the machine kills.
- Abstract nouns like Quietus, Silence or Cold Snap suit sleek corporate drones; blunt words like Ripper suit scrap-built or feral ones.
- Keep serial numbers short and consistent across your fleet, then break the pattern deliberately for a rogue unit.
Frequently asked questions
What are the murder drones in the show actually called?
The main trio are Serial Designation N, V and J, disassembly drones built by JCJenson to eliminate the worker drones of Copper-9. Fans usually shorten them to N, V and J.
How should I name a Murder Drones OC?
Pick an unused letter and write it as Serial Designation X for a disassembly drone, or use an everyday human name like Thad or Lizzy for a worker drone. Avoid N, V and J, which are canon.
What makes a good name for an original killer drone?
Something that implies method rather than just menace: Lamprey, Flenser or Kill Switch tell you how it works. Pairing that with a formal designation like Model 17 makes it feel manufactured rather than mythical.
Can I use these names in a game or published story?
Original names here are free to use. Names from the Murder Drones series (Uzi, Serial Designation N, the Absolute Solver) belong to Glitch Productions and should stay in fan work.
