Spiky

Here is a relevant portion of page 37 of Craig Wessel's Warioland 4 book, titled "Underground Goodies" (in context, within Palm Tree Paradise):

It was dark inside the doorway, but I could see a ladder ahead. At the top of the ladder was a strange turtle with spikes on its shell. It almost ran over me, but since I’m in top physical shape, I jumped right over it. “Take that, Spiky!” I shouted as I climbed another ladder.
At the top of the chamber, there was nothing. I was so mad that I wanted to go back down and kick around Spiky, but then I saw a pipe sticking out of the ceiling. I jumped up and climbed inside it.

Should "Spiky" be the name of this article? LinkTheLefty (talk) 20:33, July 1, 2020 (EDT)

In the context of the book, it seems like Wario nicknamed the enemy himself! Spiky is indeed used as a proper noun twice, so I'd support renaming the page over the romanised Japanese name. One query though- if 'Harimen' appears to mean 'needle face', what does the counterpart Harimenzetto mean?

Harimenzetto basically means "Needle Face Z". LinkTheLefty (talk) 17:07, July 4, 2020 (EDT)
