Talk:Nep-Enut

Where exactly are the Nep-Enuts in Piranha Grove in Yoshi's Story? I've looked and they're not there. If there is, a link should be added to the page, if it's a beta element that should be mentioned, and if it's not there at all, then it should be deleted. --ChillGuy EDT

No it shouldn't be moved to Giant Nep-Enut
Literally just a year ago in Yoshi's New Island they had a level based on their names it was called Rise of the Nasty Nep-Enuts, a year later and now there called Giant Nep-Enuts in Woolly World, I think it's just a sub-species of a Nep-Enut.

I can also support that these are different from Nep-Enuts to start of with in Woolly World these larger Nep-Enuts don't chase Yoshi they attack him by shooting Shy Guys at them then there's the fact that they are much larger than the Nep-Enuts in Yoshi's New Island (Excluding Yoshi's Island DS because those were regular Nep-Enuts) there's also the fact that if these were just plain old Nep-Enuts then why here are they called Giant Nep-Enuts in Woolly World. It's most likely that these are sub-species of Nep-Enuts and an article about them should be made.

They're a palette swap of Gargantua Blargg like they've always been. Size isn't an issue when Blarggs in general were larger in later Yoshi games. Certain enemies also act differently in Woolly World compared to the Yoshi's Island games, so it's not out of place... That said, the name could change to Nep-Enut by the time the North American version is out, and we use those over the European names whenever possible. LinkTheLefty (talk) 09:58, 15 July 2015 (EDT)


 * Giant Nep-Enuts spit out Shy Guys, unlike regular Nep-Enuts, so size isn't the only issue. Not that I agree that size should be dismissed in this case anyway, since the name specifically references it, implying that yes, it is bigger than its parent species and that's relevant. Besides, it would be really awkward and unintuitive to only have a pagename for the derived species, whereas keeping the enemy name we've known for a decade and simply adding a new article is very reasonable. - 11:07, 15 July 2015 (EDT)
 * If the name's a primary reason here, then it's still best to wait until the game's out in all regions. Besides, they most likely went with Giant to contrast with Gargantua, and appearance-wise we can very easily see Nep-Enuts have always been palette swaps of Gargantua Blargg (we've also never seen a Red Blargg-sized Nep-Enut). If behavior is important in this case, then additional consideration should be on Fluffin' Puffin, Ice Snifit, Snow Guy, maybe Burt the Bashful and Naval Piranha, etc. LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:21, 15 July 2015 (EDT)
 * It's always a good idea to take differing behaviours into account along with appearance discrepancies and name changes, at least with species, since recurring individual characters/bosses like Naval Piranha often vary a bit between games (otherwise, boss fights would get boring). The enemies without name changes accompanying the slight behaviour/appearance changes can stay together (why complicate navigation when you don't have to), but I definitely do feel a bit iffy about the potential Fluffin'/Huffin' Puffin rename. - 12:35, 15 July 2015 (EDT)

Unlike Gargantua Blargg, Nep-Enut can be argued to have its name changed in almost every game it appears in: first "Nep-Enut" and "Submarine Nep-Enut", then "Nasty Nep-Enut" in New Island, and now Giant Nep-Enut. With this, I think it's more like Nep-Enut just had another English rename and was given a new attack. And what does its size have to do with this? That argument doesn't hold if you take Gargantua Blargg into consideration as well. SmokedChili (Talk) (Thoughts) 04:50, 1 August 2015 (EDT)
