Talk:Gringill

I think we should list the larger Gringills as a seperate species. Should we?--Yoshidino (talk) 19:58, 8 February 2013 (EST)
 * In fact, they have two separate names in Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.: 「大アナゴン」 (127) for Super Mario Galaxy and 「でかアナゴン」 (160) for Super Mario Galaxy 2, both basically meaning "Big Gringill". LinkTheLefty (talk) 16:17, 8 December 2017 (EST)
 * The name "Giant Gringill" exists....but is in reference to the smaller orange type (as said in the Drip Drop Galaxy), so it wouldn't work... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:24, 29 January 2018 (EST)
 * I think we should... -- 12:42, 9 February 2019 (EST)
 * "Giant Gringill" is a localization mistake because the penguins were generically referring to them as "giant anago" instead of "Giant Anagon" in the Japanese version; either way, both Prima guides group them together as "Gringill" plainly. LinkTheLefty (talk) 12:53, 9 February 2019 (EST)
 * Snakehead is kinda unfitting, given that they're actually eels, so i don't know wether Giant Gringill is only erroneously used to refer to the small ones. -- 13:37, 28 February 2019 (EST)
 * "Giant" is likely a generic description only capitalized due to being the first word of a sentence. Anyways, given that snakeheads in real life are a carnivorous, large-eyed, lengthy fish, it's not that unreasonable. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:07, 28 February 2019 (EST)
 * Not really, it can go either way, but i'd prefer to be consistent with the normal Gringill's name personally. -- 13:08, March 29, 2019 (EDT)
 * But it was never called that. The regular Gringills were called "giant Gringills" in the Drip-Drop Galaxy, and the large ones are never acknowledged in in-game text at all. Guide call both simply "Gringill." Closest we could do is "Gringill (large)." Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:10, March 29, 2019 (EDT)
 * Per how we handled the land Urchin, we can either split it as "Gringill (big)", or "Gringill (large)". -- 13:13, March 29, 2019 (EDT)
 * I'd say "big" is the likelier identifier. LinkTheLefty (talk) 13:59, March 29, 2019 (EDT)
 * Also, since it's named in-game, i'd say it could work. -- 03:58, August 3, 2019 (EDT)
 * I think that would would work. Big Gringill should be split, since it looks different, acts different (it's even paired with a regular Gringill in the Beach Bowl Galaxy, so it's easy to tell that the big one attacks slower), and drops a 1-Up when it's killed. 10:54, August 3, 2019 (EDT)
 * Also forgot to mention that the big Gringill makes a different noise upon exiting its hole. 15:06, August 22, 2019 (EDT)
 * The big Grrrols use their Japanese name on the wiki, so I think the big Gringills should use their Japanese name on the wiki as well. --24.188.22.145 18:16, October 16, 2019 (EDT)
 * The larger Grrrols use their Japanese names due to their English names being plagiarized. With the larger Gringills we actually have a valid English name, you there is no reason to use the Japanese one. 18:37, October 16, 2019 (EDT)
 * It's technically a filename (which isn't intended to be sen by the general public anyway) from the Japanese developers, putting its position on the hierarchy a bit wishy-washy. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:43, October 16, 2019 (EDT)
