Talk:Carnivora: Difference between revisions

Line 14:

It's not obvious to me that "daisy" and "giant plant" should be listed as alternate names. While they obviously refer to Carnivora, they are used in a descriptive manner (yes, Carnivora ''is'' a daisy and a giant plant) but do not necessarily imply that they are the creature's name. In fact, "daisy" is just a species name and "giant plant" an even broader categorization. It's a bit like saying that Globox's alternate name is Frog because he is at some point referred to as a frog. What do you guys think? —[[File:RRRGBAIcon8.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon0.gif|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon1.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]] 11:20, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

:The main reason that these names were put here is because other characters use this same criteria for their names (though they are mostly less ambiguous); for example, the Mocking Bird’s name is taken from its [[To Bubblize a Mocking Bird|boss level]], and the Boss Bird’s name was taken from a Jungle Run wallpaper (which isn’t the best place to get names from, since it turns out that Carnivora was actually called the Boss Plant in its wallpaper, which is about as generic as they come). Granted, they don’t have any other sources for their names, aside from the game files, so it’s passable for them. Anyway, I’m fine with the “alternate names” being removed, but maybe the “Boss Plant” part could go in the Jungle Run section as a “where it is referred to as…” mention? -RayGamer99
