Detailed Description

Curated animal-handle list used as default player nicknames.

On connect, ServerGame picks the least-used slot from this array (ties broken by lowest index for deterministic assignment across reconnects) and writes the matching string into the new player's PlayerName component. Mirrors player_colors::k_palette's pattern exactly — keeping the two systems parallel makes "what handle do I get?" follow the same mental model as "what tint do I get?".

Adding a new nickname is drop-in: extend the array. Removing one mid- match is also fine; in-flight players keep their assigned name (it's stored in their replicated component, not by index).

All-caps to match the Voidfall mil-spec aesthetic.
