Can I please ask why these two are together? They have different names, different looks, different moves, and different stats. My point being they're different people, so again I ask; why are they together? This might be a little short, but it's because the fact that they're different entities is a simple reason that I really don't need to elaborate.

#{{User|SWFlash}} Changes: Color, power, and nothing else. Let's split Star Rod Bowser power-up from Bowser? (I will be mad if there will be a proposal for Star Road Bowser…)

#{{User|LeftyGreenMario}} King Behemoth is mostly a mere palette swap of Behemoth. Really, the differences between the two are too minor to warrant a split between the two. In fact, I wish to see all "powered-up" enemies to be merged with their original forms.

#{{User|BabyLuigiOnFire}} Per MS&G in the comments. I don't know what more we can add other than, "More vitality, different attack pattern, and different skin" from not taking any info from [[Behemoth]].

==Ummm==
Now that the voting period is over, this should be split. I don't have the game, so I can't really do it, but someone who has the game should. This is just to bring to attention that no action has been taken. {{User:Bop1996/sig}}
:I have the game, and I was personally against the proposal in the first place. But, I'll do it, since a proposal is a proposal, even though I'm convinced most supporters haven't even played the game. {{User:BabyLuigiOnFire/sig}}
I'm with BabyLuigiOnFire. I have played this game before and have beaten the boss (Not the harder one. I saw a video for that) and I assume as well that most of the supporters didn't even play it and just assume just because of a different color and little more power than Behemoth, means that its a "Boss that should have its own page" --[[User:Gameboyz829|Gameboyz829]]
==Merge Behemoth King to Behemoth or expand Behemoth King article==
{{Settled TPP}}
{{Proposal outcome|passed|2-9-3|expand the behemoth king article}}
The proposal at the top of this page has the majority vote to split the Behemoth King from Behemoth. However, I think they should be merged back together.
The opposition from the previous proposal has some evidence that, even though they look different and have different attack power, they are still the same creature. Even though I've played no ''Final Fantasy'' games, looking at the opposition and comments from the split proposal has some pretty good evidence that the bosses, even though they're slightly different in strength and looks, behave almost identically to each other.
And before you comment about this, comparing bosses in the same game that '''''clearly have different traits, besides looks and/or attack power''''' or '''''comparing bosses and enemies in the same game''''' or even '''''comparing bosses in completely different games''''' does not count as being split.
If this proposal passes, the Behemoth King article's information will be merged to the Behemoth article, with a redirect in its place. If it doesn't, then the page will stay the same as it is.
EDIT: Now I'm adding a second support option for possibly not merging the Behemoth King information to Behemoth, but instead expanding the Behemoth King article to about the same length of Behemoth; as in, describing attacks, etc.<br>
'''Proposer''': {{User|Owencrazyboy9}}<br>
'''Deadline''': December 23, 2017, 23:59 GMT
====Merge the Behemoth King information into Behemoth====
#{{User|Owencrazyboy9}} My second preferred choice. Kind of surprised the proposal is going to end on Christmas Eve!
#{{User|Alex95}} - "''Behemoth King has a slightly different attack pattern, and it is more resilient to attacks than Behemoth. Other than this and its color swap, there is little to no difference to Behemoth.''" Per article.
====Expand the Behemoth King article with no merge====
#{{User|Owencrazyboy9}} This is my preferred choice. Expanding the Behemoth King article to describe what it does, how to fight it and all the other information necessary works well for me.
#{{User|YoshiFlutterJump}} Well, what's the downside to expanding an article?  I oppose the merge, but this is an okay option.
#{{User|Alex95}} - If more information can be added, then by all means.
#{{User|Baby Luigi}} Per all.
#{{User|TheFlameChomp}} Per all.
#{{User|YoshiStar28}} Per everyone.
#{{User|Lcrossmk8}} Per everyone. What is the downside to expanding an article? I think this is the more decisive option and the best of the choices.
#{{User|LuigiMaster123}} Per all.
#{{User|Time Turner}} I don't see a good reason to not add more information. Per all.
====Do absolutely nothing====
#{{User|YoshiFlutterJump}} No.  Just no.  Yes, he is just a stronger palette swap, but we have separate articles for the R and DX enemies from ''Dream Team'', the Paper enemies in ''Paper Jam'', the X Bosses in ''Bowser's Inside Story'' and ''Dream Team'', and even the Dreamy enemies from ''Dream Team'''s final boss fight.  They are also just palette swaps.  Why should this be any different?  If we merge the Behemoths, we merge all of these guys, and that is certainly something we don't want, as numerous proposals have ended in favor of keeping these guys split.
#{{User|Lord Bowser}} If we have separate articles for X bosses from the M&L games, which are ''exactly'' the same aside from a palette swap and higher stats, then there's no reason to merge these two articles together when their subjects are less similar than that.
#{{User|MrConcreteDonkey}} - Per all, and Baby Luigi's comments below. I mean...if there's more information then yes, expand it, but you shouldn't need a proposal to do that.
====Comments====
Tbh, re-examining my arguments against splitting from way back I don't think it's any different than the numerous palette swap enemies the RPG introduced, which also have their own pages. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 15:49, 9 December 2017 (EST)
@YoshiFlutter Jump: I '''''"never"''''' said to merge all the X and R enemies with each other after this proposal. Only the Behemoth King and Behemoth articles would be merged into one. &ndash; [[User:Owencrazyboy9|Owencrazyboy9]] ([[User talk:Owencrazyboy9|talk]]) 00:05, 10 December 2017 (EST)
:I as saying that if we made this move, we should make ''all those other moves''.  I'll edit my vote to make that more clear. -{{User:YoshiFlutterJump/sig}} 00:19, 10 December 2017 (EST)
Now I'm adding a second support option to possibly expand the article instead of merging it.
{{unsigned|Owencrazyboy9}}
:Don't think an option to expand should be left to proposals imo. It should be just the default, right thing to do. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 16:22, 10 December 2017 (EST)
::I haven't played Mario Sports Mix yet, so I can't expand it that well. If the proposal passes with support option 2 getting the most votes, then someone who has played it can. &ndash; [[User:Owencrazyboy9|Owencrazyboy9]] ([[User talk:Owencrazyboy9|talk]]) 16:34, 10 December 2017 (EST)
:::I have played it but it's such a long time ago that I don't quite remember the moves. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 21:52, 17 December 2017 (EST)
@Alex Literally everything you said there describes every stronger variant enemy from every RPG game. By that logic, we should merge [[Chained Kong]] and [[Guerilla]], among eleventeen thousand other things. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 04:27, 22 December 2017 (EST)
@Doc von Schmeltwick Alex95 voted on the proposal when it only had the merge option. Now, he voted for the expand option later on when I introduced it to this proposal. And for proposals with more than one support choice let you vote on multiple choices at once, his two votes could be both primary and secondary choices. &ndash; [[User:Owencrazyboy9|Owencrazyboy9]] ([[User talk:Owencrazyboy9|talk]]) 10:50, 22 December 2017 (EST)
