Talk:Ghost (Yoshi's Story)

Can anyone identify the species-Pal101

I haven't played the game in a while, but I thought it was some sort of ghost and that there was only one of it, not a whole species. -- Sir Grodus

There were 2 actually-Pal101

Oh, well, I still think it was a snake-like ghost of some kind. -- Sir Grodus

Yeah I'll add that to the article.-Pal101

SAME AS GOBBLEGUT?

i was playing super mario galaxy 2, and Gobblegut kinda looks like Bowsers pet, so is it the same creature? Correct me if im wrong... And if they are the same, you should put that in bowser Jrs, Gobbleguts, and bowsers pet trivia.

Name
For future reference, the only reference to the pet I could find on the (archived) YS site is this: "You'll have to battle the big bully twice: once when he's riding a sneering green ghost, and again after he's been de-ghosted." That at least tells us it's a ghost, but I don't think that works for a name.
 * The player's guide also calls it a ghost: "The final scene in Yoshi's Story will unfold with Baby Bowser riding a ghost across the upper reaches of the castle [...]." 18:19, 20 July 2017 (EDT)

ghost rider
While looking through the wiki pages, I noticed that these resemble Ghost Riders from the same game. so wouldn't it be a species of ghost rider? they seem to behave the same, except Baby Bowser rides these ones.Pikmin theories (talk) 21:10, 14 March 2018 (EDT)
 * That would be conjecture, as the faces are nothing similar. At least, I think it would be. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:42, 14 March 2018 (EDT)

Conjecture?
You mean that only Japanese names are valable for character in which no official english name was found? --83.156.220.80 10:50, 23 August 2018 (EDT)
 * That would be, in which something has a non-English name, but not an English one. is used when there's no name to use at all, so one is fittingly created.  11:07, 23 August 2018 (EDT)
 * Yes, but there is clearly a German name. I guess it doesn't count. Am i right? --83.156.220.80 11:17, 23 August 2018 (EDT)
 * It would, but where it comes from is unknown. But once a proper source for the name is added, it can be used, yes. 11:18, 23 August 2018 (EDT)

Japanese name
Does the Shogakugan briefly give them a mention? -- 13:54, 1 March 2019 (EST)
