Conjectural title?[edit]

That's a very creative name for a conjectural title isn't it? Wouldn't it be better if we changed this to something more descriptive? The same applies to other enemies like Firewheel, Flameface, Hoolet and many others. — Lady Sophie Wiggler Sophie.png (T|C) 19:16, December 14, 2024 (EST)

Strongly agree. Conjectural names should absolutely not be as interpretative as these are, especially "Hootlet", goodness. I don't have any good suggestions for new names since I'm not familiar enough with SPP, but these ones should totally go. PopitTart (talk) 20:30, December 14, 2024 (EST)
The first ideas that come to mind:
    • Smogball —> Yellow cloud
    • Hoolet —> Hoo baby / Hoo's baby
    • Firewheel —> Spinning stone
    • Flameface —> Burning rock

We should honestly do a full-on proposal to change all these names now that I think about it… Technetium (talk) 20:46, December 14, 2024 (EST)
"Spinning stone" is outright wrong, it's fire surrounding a gray face. And I don't think calling an owlet a name diminutive to the boss that spawns it is anything off. The other suggestions.... just sound too generic, IMO. They sound like things that don't have the dignity of having a face. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:37, December 14, 2024 (EST)
