Hi, I am Maw-Ray Master, a Maw-Ray who contributes as an editor on the Super Mario Wiki. I mainly specialize in adding and citating foreign names for subjects on the wiki, though I also occasionally focus on documenting obscure and lesser-known media.

Overview
I first became interested in foreign languages when I took a Spanish class in middle school; it was my first exposure to a language besides English outside of the occasional French and Spanish text that can occasionally be seen. I would later take two more Spanish language classes in high school, as well as two Japanese language classes. For a time, I also attempted to learn Polish and Romanian, but I did not as much success as with Spanish and Japanese. I am currently building my Norwegian vocabulary so that I will be able to write and speak in Norwegian. I have also become interested in languages and linguistics in general, and intend to find the etymologies of words with obfuscated origins.
As can be implied by name, I also have an interest in eels, or anguilas, as I call them, anguila being the Spanish word for "eel". Eels look like underwater-dwelling versions of snakes. I became interested eels after becoming interested in Eelektross, a navy blue lamprey-like Pokémon. I like all eels, but my favorite type of eels are lampreys (which Eelektross is based on), due their mouths appearing to be some sort of sucker. Some people might find this off-putting, but I think it's cute.
Outside the Super Mario Wiki, I also contribute on Wiktionary under the username Transducer1, where I mainly add cognates for words and occasionally explaining the etymologies of words; Wiktionary is an extension of my interest in languages and linguistics. I am a native speaker of English, but I also know some Spanish as well as a little Galician, Norwegian, and Japanese.
My brother also contibutes on the Super Mario Wiki under the username Jaxsonjayson55.
