Talk:Murray

Name

I can see the name of this article was changed from 'Giant eel' to 'Guardian of the Ocean World'. Not only is it, in my opinion, unnecessarily long and contrived, it also makes very little sense as this article is about the species, and not specifically about the individual guarding the Sea of Serendipity. Moreover, the attribute 'giant' may not be official, but calling them 'eels' is not less justified than calling their smaller counterparts 'Mini-Murrays', as both names come from the level names.

The 'small' eels being called 'Mini-Murrays' while having no visible connection with the boss 'Murray', which looks like a dragon and then a shrimp, but never like a giant eel, makes very little sense, it's true. However, if we are to blindly use level names as sources for creatures names (which I'm not sure we should do, remember the 'Mocking bird' discussion), we'll have to cope with it.

In conclusion, this article should either be renamed 'Giant eel' or just 'Eel', but the current name is an abomination. — 18:54, 21 May 2012 (CEST)
