Talk:Darkroot: Difference between revisions

They do seem a nettle redesign for Rayman Origins. I would suggest to aglutinate this article with the main one about nettles, and the RO kind having its own section. --[[Image:Sparkle.gif]][[User:Haruka|Haruka]][[Image:Sparkle.gif]] 12:55, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

:The things we call [[nettle]]s are obviously not [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nettle nettles] at all, so I think it was probably a bad translation. 'Darkroot' is a much better description of the thorny brown roots we find in Rayman 2 and Rayman 3. —[[User:Spiraldoor|Spiraldoor]] [[File:IconSpiralDoor.png|link=User:Spiraldoor]] 13:57, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

::I saw this article before, and I wondered if the name was correct because both plants do look different. I always believed that the "nettles" were giant roots. --[[Image:Sparkle.gif]][[User:Haruka|Haruka]][[Image:Sparkle.gif]] 14:37, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

:::With the influx of renamed 'Dark' things, such as Darktoons, previously called Antitoons, I think the Darkroot might be a rename of the nettle. It's either that or they are two different species. --[[User:Iheckler9|iHeckler9]][[File:Life.gif|link=User:Iheckler9]] 16:25, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

:::I'm not sure if we should relate nettles with Darkroots. They have several phisical differences like the eyes and colour, and their behaviours are completely different in-game: the nettles move constantly like the tentacles of an octopus, and dissappear for a while when rayman attacks them, while the Darkroots can't be defeated and grow until they find a place to stay. Also, Darkroots seem to have a major role in Rayman Origins (they appear during the opening sequence). However, mentioning the "nettles" article is not a bad idea ^^ --[[User:Sergiomonty|Sergiomonty]] 17:31, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
