In [Dan Machi on the
side](https://myanimelist.net/anime/32887/Dungeon_ni_Deai_wo_Motomeru_no_wa_Machigatteiru_Darou_ka_Gaiden__Sword_Oratoria),
Aiz faces off against a floor boss (Udaeus) all by herself (with 1 observer).
Yet, it seems apparent that everyone knows the monster's name.

How would the adventurers know the floor boss's names? In this case, the
particular floor boos doesn't make any verbal sound for some reason.
Presumably, other floor bosses will not speak but may make noises.

How do the adventurers know the floor boss's names?


Based on Danmachi's lore, it is possible _(i'd like to say almost sure but no
proofs here)_ that monsters have something to do with gods. If it is the case,
maybe **gods were those who named the floor bosses.**  
There also are more possibilities. Those monsters, unlike Grimgar's, are more
likely to respawn like basic RPG monters. If adventurers already fought a
floor boss, it is legit it is has a name. Maybe **those who are the first to
defeat a kind of boss are given the great honor to name it.** Sadly,
Danmachi's doesn't tell us much about it so it is only speculation. Maybe
we'll learn more about it later in the story.

Hope that helped.
