About Simpler Card Names

A lot of Dungeons and Dragons cards have short, unembellished names (e.g. Flameskull Owlbear, Tiamat). These make them stand out somewhat from normal Magic card names. Do you know why the decision was made to just go with the monster manual entries rather than naming cards like "Ornery Owlbear", "Cackling Flameskull", or "Tiamat, Dragon-Mother"?

We normally do that in Magic because we have to name a lot more cards like it. Tiamat, and such, didn’t have that problem.
