Now that the above proposal for Blurp's smaller counterpart has passed, the issue remains how best to present the two Blurp varieties. I don't believe having two enemy types in the same article is the optimal solution, so here's what can be done about it: | Now that the above proposal for Blurp's smaller counterpart has passed, the issue remains how best to present the two Blurp varieties.

'''1. Merge Red Blurp with Boss Bass.''' Functionally, they were basically the same enemy as in SMB3, both being overgrown Cheep Cheep near the water's surface that exhibit the same gulping whole maneuvre. The only difference is that the original fish aggressively swims back and forth and leaps whenever the player is in range or almost in reach, whereas this version is more casual and slow in its swimming motion | '''1. Merge Red Blurp with Boss Bass.''' Functionally, they were basically the same enemy as in SMB3, both being overgrown Cheep Cheep near the water's surface that exhibit the same gulping whole maneuvre. The only difference is that the original fish aggressively swims back and forth and leaps whenever the player is in range or almost in reach, whereas this version is more casual and slow in its swimming motion and leaps every so often, but it'd be more convoluted to keep every enemy type separate because of mere behavioral/programming differences. "Blue Blurp" would still remain in this article, but its conjectural name would be removed since there would be no need to differentiate from Red Blurp in the same space. Only a note stating that they are both called "Blurp" in ''Yoshi's Story'' is necessary. | ||
'''2. Split Red Blurp and Blue Blurp.''' They have their own articles since they are different enough (the other acting more like a hungry giant Spray Fish), and retain their unique names in said articles. However, since Blue Blurp is an unofficial name, we would have to apply it to full <nowiki>{{conjecture}}</nowiki> rather than the <nowiki>{{partconjecture}}</nowiki> tag as it is the entire subject of one of the articles. | '''2.
