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

: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. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 18:09, 21 February 2019 (EST)

:::Kind of old, but I'd say that "OtaJack" is akin to the "kug" here: that is to say, Ota Jack would've likely had Ota Rock and Octoomba as its parent species, making Ota Rock and Octoomba sort of a degree away as relatives, if that makes sense.

::::I'd like to know Jack's actual behavior before assuming that. Every source I find just says "waiting to be picked up," not specifying what that means. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 12:32, November 28, 2021 (EST)

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)
