The combination is certainly unique and well thought out

the second part is usually  a creature - a real creature

the first adjective is usually a physical descriptor , something that
describes a nice or unique feature of the creature and these adjectives are
everyday english words

fiesty having or showing a lively aggressiveness *:*
spunky<http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/spunky> <the
movie's *feisty* heroine>

gutsy - gutsy gutsy adj.
 1. marked by courage and determination in the face of
 difficulties or danger.
though the hindi meaning is more appropriate - जिन्दादिल -

jaunty
Airy; showy; finical; hence, characterized by an affected or
 fantastical manner.
 [1913 Webster]

till date the creatures mentioned have always been real warthog a member of
the pig family, gibbon (a primate), fawn the young of a deer,
