No, because although there are similarities, merging them would imply that they are the same enemy. Not to mention Terrapins are much weaker and have their own [[Terra Cotta|sub-species]].{{User:Knife/sig}} 15:32, 30 November 2009 (EST)

== Terrapin and a potential music reference ==
Hello, I'm new here, but I've frequented this wiki for a long while.
Anyhow, I feel Terrapin's name might be a potential reference to a Grateful Dead album: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrapin_Station Terrapin Station.]
The artwork features terrapins (aka turtles), and I think might be why the enemy got changed from Nokohei to Terrapin (Ted Woolsey, SMRPG's translator seemed to be a fan of music, evidently with how Mack's name is Mack the Knife).
....This is probably a huge stretch, so I'm not requesting for this to be added to the page, cause Terrapin might have just been chosen as a segway for the Terra Cotta pun.

:Given that terrapins are already a real species of turtle, I think it's more likely that that's the origin of the name, not another piece of media happening to feature terrapins. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 14:53, January 7, 2021 (EST)
:: Yeah, that makes more sense. I'm a non-native english speaker, so when I saw that Grateful Dead album shared on the net my first thought was SMRPG for that reason, since I didn't know until recently it was an actual turtle species name. Sorry for the confusion.--[[User:Kirb-Star99|Kirb-Star99]] ([[User talk:Kirb-Star99|talk]]) 21:23, January 7, 2021 (EST)
