Talk:Durmite

Damaging Bowser
If I understand the article correctly, this enemy is fought inside Bowser and she can take away Bowser's HP to replenish her own, correct? However, I came across another article of an enemy from this game, which trivia-section stated that it is the only enemy that can damage Bowser from inside. Which article is correct now? - 02:19, 19 September 2009 (EDT)
 * Bowser isn't involved with the battle with Durmite. He is, however, involved with the Sea Pip Statue battle. I think that Sea Pipe Statue is the only one that can, but I may be wrong.
 * So I think the main question is: Does Bowser lose HP when Durmite executes that absorption attack? - 02:29, 19 September 2009 (EDT)

I just wrote this as far as I know. I'm not really sure if Durmite reduces Bowser's HP when sucks health, making damage to him. With the statue, the blooper hurts bowser by using a drill-based attack to the plumbers inside him by burrowing through the King Koopa's tissues. However I don't know either if Bowser loses HP caused by the Blooper's attacks inside like Durmite's

Yes, Durmite can hurt Bowser
I remember fighting Durmite. When you allow Durmite to use the straw, she will suck HP away from Bowser to cure her own. Her "X" version doesn't hurt Bowser though.
 * Ok, then I think it is necessary to adjust that information. - 15:07, 26 September 2009 (EDT)
 * Adjustment done. - 15:11, 26 September 2009 (EDT)

Birdo
Can I mention her in this article?: http://www.mariowiki.com/Birdo_%28species%29
 * As Trivia for sure. It's clear that she's based on a Birdo's facial design, but it would be difficult to actually incorporate her into the article, since a caterpillar is a far cry from a dinosaur. Maybe in the future, integration will be possible. - 23:54, 29 September 2009 (EDT)
 * I think it might be ok if the article doesn't state that Durmite is based on Birdo or is a direct reference to her (because that's not officially confirmed yet), but instead only says that their facial design looks somehow similar (so there's no false statement). - 11:33, 30 September 2009 (EDT)

Pillbo?
I looked in my guidebook thingy Endofenrir, and it says Pillbo for Durmite, but when I look in the boss section, it says Durmite. Could Pillbo be a name of it in another language? Can you help me with that?


 * Well I don't know Durmites names in other languages, but I guess we have a problem if there are two names listed... - 22:30, 7 October 2009 (EDT)


 * Just stick with the in-game one...--
 * I meant we might have a problem with the credibility of the source. If Pillbo is really just another name in another language, then it could have been a mistake, but if not, then it could be that Prima made some names up... - 23:38, 7 October 2009 (EDT)


 * Oh I see...We're going to have to find some way around this.--


 * Okay, the more I think about it, the more sure I am. Pillbo and Wise Pillbo may not even be a mistake, or another name in a different language. Maybe this is a beta element, a english name that was going to be used, but changed it to Durmite and Wisdurm. With that information, that solves pretty much everything (guidebook could have had the beta name in it, but wasn't taken out be accidient we they came to print it).
