i dont know if a language with more than 300 million speakers is obscure but one not very common hindi adjective for 'smoky' is सधूम - sadhoom. as a lover of cats and science fiction this word makes me think of the home of the shadows in the series babylon 5 a place called Z'ha'dum. it seems appropriate for a familiar.
