Subtracting an Adder

This talk page or section has a conflict or question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

The remake's Monster List has the same entry for Bad Adder and Mad Adder, just with Cloaker and Domino's names swapped: "Apparently it would be called something else if it had fused with Domino/Cloaker instead of Cloaker/Domino. Which raises the question...what is this monster's true name?" So if it wasn't obvious before that these are the same creature, we have confirmation. This would make for an easy merge except it does raise the question: what to merge it as? I guess we can call it "Adder", except I believe that's conjectural. The Player's Guide isn't really helpful on this, either: it only mentions Cloaker's as "Earthlink" on the Domino & Cloaker strategy on page 103, and lists Earth Link on 113 and Mad Adder on 114 among the major meanies. We can go with "Bad Adder" since it appears first in the Monster List, except that seems like an arbitrary reason and it was clearly named after Mad Adder. "Snake (boss)" or maybe "Snake (Super Mario RPG)" seems like our best bet, since it shows up in Cloaker and Domino's fused profiles: "He may look like he's just riding on his snake's head, but Cloaker/Domino insists that they have formed a single creature." and also appears in said Player's Guide on 103: "Once the snake is squished, Cloaker will vamoose." The rationale would, once again, be similar to the cake boss merge. LinkTheLefty (talk) 13:25, January 3, 2024 (EST)
