In SMG, a Toad refers to them as "octopuses". Should it be moved? {{User|Pseudo-dino}} | In SMG, a Toad refers to them as "octopuses". Should it be moved? {{User|Pseudo-dino}} | ||

:It's the only specific non-generic thing they've been called. And the generic decriptors were indeed lowercase.

This honestly seems to be the true "base" Octo, due to the fact that both of the bosses take more after it than Octoomba, and that Octoomba's name seems to indicate that it's just a weaker, Goomba-like derivative of this. Octoomba itself is certainly not a Goomba.

:If we're going off the idea of these being generically-named, I suppose that makes a bit of a difference, but the fact that the bosses are still these things makes me think that either they should just be classified as related, or this should be the parent species. It's closer named to [[zeldawiki:Octorok|their inspiration]], anyways.

Should we move this page on how poorly was this handled? [[Special:Diff/2666099|SMH]], it could potentially affect the [[Jellyfish (Super Mario Galaxy)|Jellyfish]]. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 02:35, June 7, 2019 (EDT) | Should we move this page on how poorly was this handled?

::"Using a name that the Encyclopedia also happens to use, and did so after we did" is ''not'' the same as "citing the encyclopedia." That being said, it should probably be moved regardless.
