Relation to Cractyl

This talk page or section has a conflict or a question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

So, out of curiosity, I saw that the Shogakukan guide had a purple bubble next to Haipo's name, and it read "鳥型" (Torigata, bird type). and after checking all the Cractyl "variants" and Cractyl itself, they all have the bird-type label on them. The other variant enemies have different classes as well, like how Clubbosaur's "variants" and Clubbosaur itself are grouped under "person type". because of these groups, I don't think Haipo (and all the other supposed Cractyl "variants") is necesarily a Cractyl variant, but rather that it and Cractyl are part of the same enemy group(not counting the Horror Manor variants, as those are treated as skeletal variants of the variants in Greenhorn Ruins). As in, Haipo (and all the Cractyl "variants" minus Bone Cractyl) isn't a variant of Cractyl but rather related to Cractyl, as the guide doesn't seem to have Cractyl as the parent species, but rather that Cractyl's just in the same group as it.

Oh and for the record, the other """variant""" groups are this;

Magon (small); 小型 (Small type)

Magon (big); 中型 (Medium type)

Clubosaur; 大型 (Large type)

Ankiron; 大砲型 (Cannon type)

So...yea, since the types are pretty broad and not based on the Greenhorn Ruins variety specifically, I think they should be related, not variants(except for the Ankiron line and the Horror Manor variants, since they're clear variants in L.O.O. and Appearance).

Seems a similar situation to Gnawty, Neek, and Sneek, so makes sense to me even if they all share the same rigging. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:08, April 16, 2022 (EDT)
