I checked DKWiki and it said "Resident Demon." User: [[User:Diddy Kong vs Bowser Jr.|Diddy Kong vs Bowser Jr.]]

I don't know how to put this but aren't all of DKWiki's Articles the same exact thing as MarioWiki's? and I still think Train RIde Specter Sounds better For the reference to the Ghost train ride where he's found. [[User:Mecha-Boss Unit]]

Been a while since I played, myself, but according to the page quote, Squawks simply calls it the "resident demon," i.e. not as a proper noun. As such, "resident" merely refers to the fact that he is in his place of dwelling. As such, this should probably be moved to "Demon" (or "Demon (Kremling)"), or a name from the guide, if applicable.

:I'm for renaming it to "Demon" since "resident" is simply used as an adjective here. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 09:46, 15 May 2018 (EDT)
::The thing about ''DK64'' is that all of the in-game dialogue is in ALL-CAPS, which makes distinguishing one-off descriptive terms from official names difficult. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 20:53, 21 August 2018 (EDT)
:::Someone should really just ask Steve Mayles on Twitter about all the things we don't have good names for from the DKC games. I'm actually curious if this is a non-pirate redesign of [[Kackle]], akin to what was done with [[Klobber]] and [[Kaboom]].

:::That's true. Though judging from the quote this is likely descriptive. I can move this to "demon" if no one objects. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:14, 21 August 2018 (EDT)
::::I don't like the idea of moving this to a generic conjectural title on a whim when we can't actually prove that "Resident Demon" is a descriptive term from that quote alone, given the nature of the in-game dialogue. Even if it is, in the absence of a proper name, I would rather use "Resident demon" as the article title. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 22:34, 21 August 2018 (EDT)
