I think we should list the larger Gringills as a seperate species. Should we?--[[User:Yoshidino|Yoshidino]] ([[User talk:Yoshidino|talk]]) 19:58, 8 February 2013 (EST)

:In fact, they have two separate names in ''Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.'': 「大アナゴン」 (127) for ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and 「でかアナゴン」 (160) for ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', both basically meaning "Big Gringill".

::The name "Giant Gringill" exists....but is in reference to the smaller orange type (as said in the [[Drip Drop Galaxy]]), so it wouldn't work... [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 21:24, 29 January 2018 (EST)
:::I think we should... --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 12:42, 9 February 2019 (EST)
::::"Giant Gringill" is a localization mistake because the penguins were generically referring to them as "giant anago" instead of "Giant Anagon" in the Japanese version; either way, both Prima guides group them together as "Gringill" plainly.

:::::Snakehead is kinda unfitting, given that they're actually eels, so i don't know wether Giant Gringill is only erroneously used to refer to the small ones. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 13:37, 28 February 2019 (EST)
::::::"Giant" is likely a generic description only capitalized due to being the first word of a sentence. Anyways, given that snakeheads in real life are a carnivorous, large-eyed, lengthy fish, it's not ''that'' unreasonable.

:::::::Not really, it can go either way, but i'd prefer to be consistent with the normal Gringill's name personally. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 13:08, March 29, 2019 (EDT)
::::::::But it was never called that. The regular Gringills were called "giant Gringills" in the Drip-Drop Galaxy, and the large ones are never acknowledged in in-game text at all. Guide call both simply "Gringill." Closest we could do is "Gringill (large)." [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 13:10, March 29, 2019 (EDT)
:::::::::Per how we handled the land Urchin, we can either split it as "Gringill (big)", or "Gringill (large)". --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 13:13, March 29, 2019 (EDT)
::::::::::I'd say "big" is the likelier identifier. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 13:59, March 29, 2019 (EDT)
:::::::::::Also, since it's named in-game, i'd say it could work. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 03:58, August 3, 2019 (EDT)
::::::::::::I think that would would work. Big Gringill should be split, since it looks different, acts different (it's even paired with a regular Gringill in the Beach Bowl Galaxy, so it's easy to tell that the big one attacks slower), and drops a 1-Up when it's killed. {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 10:54, August 3, 2019 (EDT)
:::::::::::::Also forgot to mention that the big Gringill makes a different noise upon exiting its hole. {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 15:06, August 22, 2019 (EDT)
::::::::::::::The big Grrrols use their Japanese name on the wiki, so I think the big Gringills should use their Japanese name on the wiki as well. --[[Special:Contributions/24.188.22.145|24.188.22.145]] 18:16, October 16, 2019 (EDT)
:::::::::::::::The larger Grrrols use their Japanese names due to their English names being plagiarized. With the larger Gringills we actually have a valid English name, you there is no reason to use the Japanese one. {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 18:37, October 16, 2019 (EDT)
::::::::::::::::It's technically a filename (which isn't intended to be sen by the general public anyway) from the Japanese developers, putting its position on the hierarchy a bit wishy-washy.
