Uhh... Why does this page need two templates? Mr. Guy the Guy
Talk!
Name?[edit]
I just watch a video on this enemy and it's name is Mokuka. Should i move this to Mokuka? 
GalladeBlades
Provide a link to the video and we'll see from there.--Knife (talk) 15:39, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
- I'm fairly certain it's "Mokuka" in dialogue and "Mokura" when selected in battle.
EDIT: Confirmed in this video, among others. It's called Mokuka when it says "Duh, huh huh...", and then Mokura when it's selected.--vellidragon 15:48, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

- "Formless" is just when it's invisible, and "Mokura/Gassox" is when it reveals itself. So no, the article title should not be changed.
