While it may be the only enemy in this specific game referred to as such, "sea creature" covers a ''much'' broader group of creatures. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:38, May 10, 2019 (EDT) | :It is rather generic, and not really all that helpful.

::I support moving the page back, if the descriptor is consistent. Saying that "Flapper" is this enemy's english name is speculative, as we don't know what Rare Ltd. gave them as a name. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 04:08, May 11, 2019 (EDT) | ::I support moving the page back, if the descriptor is consistent.

:::And we easily ''could'' if someone would ask one of them on Twitter. They're available....anyways, "sea creature" won't work because it's plain and simply ''not a name''.

To reuse an example: that's like saying that ''Super Mario Bros.

:::::"Saying that "Flapper" is this enemy's english name is speculative" - That's not what the other-language template means. It's a translation of the Japanese name, unless "Furappā" is an option to move this to. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 11:11, May 11, 2019 (EDT) | :::::"Saying that "Flapper" is this enemy's english name is speculative" - That's not what the other-language template means.
