The best way to learn is to attempt your own translation first rather
than asking someone to figure it out for you.

Short and catchy? Hmmm... How about:
'Iw tlhutlhwI' blood drinker
Heghbe'bogh lom undead corpse
Heghbe'wI' the undead
yInqa'bogh lom the corpse which lives again
yInqa'wI' the reanimated
mong chopwI' neck biter
yInwI' wambogh HeghwI' the dead that hunts the living
My favorite is {'Iw tlhutlhwI'} for no other reason than it's a
palindrome. {{:-)
