From the description in HolQeD, {vIlInHoD} sounds like a parrot. To me, it
sounds like "Captain Villain" is just describing the stereotypical "pirate
captain" that a {vIlInHoD} would perch on.
{'uSgheb} is described as similar to a rooster, only more fierce. With that
in mind, take a look at the new words list at the KLI site, using the "sort
by date added" list. Right below {'uSgheb} is the word {gheb}. Now try to
break down the bird's name again. :-)

I think he was going for "Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight!"
