Just asking, but is the article picture of the in-game model? It sort of looks like it.

Do we have a source for Whimp being the French name, or should that be removed? {{User:Yosh Strider/sig}} 16:20, 9 April 2016 (EDT) | Do we have a source for Whimp being the French name, or should that be removed? {{User:Yosh Strider/sig}} 16:20, 9 April 2016 (EDT) | ||
*The names in other languages might come from Super Mario Encyclopedia. Since it has a definitive Japanese name, the internal filename is a romanization of the Japanese name. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 02:16, 8 November 2018 (EST) | |||

:::Does the Prima give them a name, or were they just referred as King Whomp's minion? If so, the only name we have is Pattan, and if there is no mention at all, the only name we have is also Pattan. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 10:20, 2 December 2018 (EST) | :::Does the Prima give them a name, or were they just referred as King Whomp's minion?

:::::::::I disapprove of telling them to come up with a different name, as it's basically demanding they go on a whim retroactively. Most likely there was no official English name for this minor enemy back in the day, which is exactly why ''Encyclopedia'' used Whimp (whether or not Nintendo was conscious of where it came from). If they come back with a different name on their own, great, but if not, we already know it's not usable. We're lucky enough to have solid answers on ''Wario Land II'' ([[Talk:Virtual_Boy_Wario_Land#Official_boss_names|and ''Virtual Boy Wario Land'']]).
