Should we move this to Kreeper? Zakor1138 (talk) 00:09, 3 February 2014 (EST)

I honestly cannot find this name used anywhere, so I was planning to do just that. If someone can source the original name, my apologies and we can move it back. Kreeper seems to be the official name, just sourced from Japanese sites unfortunately, no English sources. Fizzle (talk) 10:50, 4 February 2014 (EST)
And what are the Japanese sites' sources? Icon showing how many lives Mario has left. From Super Mario 64 DS. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 13:14, 4 February 2014 (EST)
The official Japanese guides I believe. Japanese guides very commonly have complete enemy listings with official names. I haven't managed to find complete scans, but photos on eBay from the guides match up with the other names listed. I can provide links if required. These names are found on multiple sites too, so they seem to be the commonly accepted names. The sites I am basing this from are pretty much 100% accurate with their names, such as this site... [1] Also, they probably wouldn't of made up an English name like this from scratch if they were just pulling it out of thin air. It's possible they are wrong, but they seem accurate and consistent from my research (and do also sound like something Rare would actually come up with, unlike "Kritter-in-a-Sheet"). I can provide further evidence if needed. Frankly, unless someone actually imports one of these guides it's as official as we're going to get. Fizzle (talk) 19:00, 4 February 2014 (EST)
