Is this page really necessary? It's kind of arbitrary, and doesn't really seem to serve much purpose. There's also the question of how you would define a "glutton" in the context of this franchise, considering how many forms, moves, and enemies involve eating things.

It's a common character archetype in fiction. Category serves as much purpose as Category:Magicians, Category:Police officers, and Category:Thieves--it helps group characters that fit that bill. You define a glutton by "someone who eats a lot". -- KOOPA CON CARNE 14:07, December 2, 2025 (EST)

At the very least, Shlurp is directly stated to have "an appetite for everything" which is probably enough. Still, Discord is looking pretty down on this category, including Camwoodstock, Mario (the user, not the character), and Xiahou Ba, The Nasty Warrior. It all too easily becomes "characters who have eaten a single large meal" and "characters who are fat". It also sometimes requires making not great assumptions about the normal diets of fictional creatures. (And sometimes, Crocodile winds up in the category due to a one off appearance in a silly cartoon, which is not a good look for the wiki.) I just narrowed the definition to try to prevent this, but the future of this category is not looking bright. I think splitting this into a character category and a species category might help prevent dangerous category drift. Salmancer (talk) 20:10, October 5, 2026 (UTC)
