Abbreviation[edit]

In this case, what does "Snr." stand for? I can assume it stands for "Senior", though the article doesn't expand on that, and that's usually abbreviated as "Sr." Google searching leads to "Single Number Rating" or "Signal-to-Nose Ratio", and I'm pretty sure those aren't it.

Never mind. I think I found the answer on the DKWiki: "This is because Rare is based in the United Kingdom, and "Snr." is how the word "senior" is abbreviated in that country." That correct? Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 21:32, 5 December 2017 (EST)
Yes it's Correct. LUIGIRULES71

Merge with Master Necky[edit]

Personally, I don't necessarily think we should, given that they appear at the same time in the GBA, and are given two separate names. Except for that one Nintedo Magizine System writeup... However, it also bears a lot of similarities to the other "stronger variant of a pre-existing boss" characters in the franchise, some of whom are objectively more distinct, despite being merged with their base counterpart.

Does anyone have any good arguments for why we should still have this bird split from the original Master Necky? Or is this nefarious Necky now the next to be nullified from the network? Wandering Poplin (talk) 00:47, February 25, 2026 (UTC)

What would make this situation different from Very Gnawty and Really Gnawty? Fakename123 (talk) 01:19, February 25, 2026 (UTC)
Very Gnawty and Really Gnawty do not appear together at the same time. Sorbetti Sorbetti Sorbetti (talk) 02:33, February 25, 2026 (UTC)
All of these guys have actual names, rather than just being "name [color]." Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 03:20, February 25, 2026 (UTC)
But if the Master Neckys appear at the same time, shouldn't that be more of a reason to keep them split? This is different from Hisstocrat, since the Neckys have unique names from each other. Fakename123 (talk) 12:19, February 25, 2026 (UTC)
But at the same time, Master Necky Snr. is still a recolor of a past boss that is only more difficult; even his level is called Necky's Revenge. Sorbetti Sorbetti Sorbetti (talk) 19:26, February 25, 2026 (UTC)
