Talk:Lava Bud
Request for Piranha Plant template
Could anyone make one of those thingies that say Piranha Plant Species and Piranha Plant characters I think it's called a template, yeah, could someone put the Piranha Plant template on the Lava Bud page and the Naval Bud page? User:Lemmy Koopa Fan
Merge to Lava Piranha
This enemy is only ever encountered in battle alongside the Lava Piranha, and is in fact attached to it. Lava Buds are merely different heads of the same creature. A rose bush encompasses all the roses, despite them being different stems. It makes no sense to split this enemy, when we already contain similar examples on single articles. Even the official art of the Lava Piranha features Lava Buds alongside them, which suggests they are the same enemy. The difference in name merely suggests a description of development rather than of specieal difference.
Merge to Lava Piranha
- Redstar (talk) - Per proposal.
- Zero777 (talk) I am Zero! Tough treated like a seperate being Lava buds are still part of Lava Piranha. Zero signing out.
Leave un-merged
- Bloc Partier (talk) -- Though it may be an underdeveloped Lava Piranha, it shouldn't be merged. It is a quite different creature at this stage of development, or whatever you wish to call it. Different attacks, appearance, and it cannot talk. Also, if I recall correctly, it can spawn Petit Piranhas, while the mother plant cannot.
Comments
I recently removed my vote on the Petit Piranha page after careful consideration. I don't know what caused me to think a living being spawned from another living thing is still the original (children aren't their parents, for example). Despite that, I still support the merge of this enemy into the main Lava Piranha page. Same bush, different stem. As for your example of the mother stem being unable to spawn Petit Piranhas, Bloc, I have this for a response: (pardon the analogy, but it's the closest there is to a real-life example) An animal can shoot sperm from their penis, but not any species I know of can do it from their head. Even more specifically, plants are known to have certain parts as the body, and other parts as the sexual reproductive area, in a division far more distant than animal bodies divide their functions. I think the same thing can be held true for this enemy. Redstar 01:08, 19 December 2009 (EST)
