Shouldn't an official published name be prioritized over an internal file designation? I am inclined to believe that the article name for this enemy should be "Kobone", not "Skeletal Fish Guard". - Nintendo101 (talk) 17:32, January 16, 2021 (EST)

- Maybe, but is that site policy? Because I feel as though an internal file name should not be prioritized over a published name regardless of language. The internal file designation used for these types of models often reflect the purpose of the character in-game, not always what their name is. I am inclined to think that is the case here. They are a "skeletal fish guard", as that is how they look and conveys their function in the Kingfin boss fight, but that may not be the intended name for these enemies. - Nintendo101 (talk) 19:39, January 16, 2021 (EST)
