How to handle the Bird from the MvDK remake

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 opted to give the enemy an organic appearance instead of retaining its mechanical appearance from previous MvDK games. Covering this enemy's appearance on this article would contradict the "toy" identifier as well as the wiki's general practice of separating characters and enemies from their toy counterparts (e.g. Shy Guy (toy) is separate from Shy Guy, as is Monchee from Monkikki, with Monchee's split even being decided through a proposal). On the flip side, making yet another page just for a retroactive design change feels kinda silly, especially when the enemy is likely to have otherwise no changes in behavior from its original incarnation.

This may be stupid suggestion, but maybe the toy enemies could be merged with their organic counterparts? Blinker (talk) 17:05, January 31, 2024 (EST)

Worth noting the remake also toy-ifies the Boos, which didn't appear to be toys originally. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:16, January 31, 2024 (EST)
