Talk:Gringill

I think we should list the larger Gringills as a seperate species. Should we?--Yoshidino (talk) 19:58, 8 February 2013 (EST)
 * In fact, they have two separate names in Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.: 「大アナゴン」 (127) for Super Mario Galaxy and 「でかアナゴン」 (160) for Super Mario Galaxy 2, both basically meaning "Big Gringill". LinkTheLefty (talk) 16:17, 8 December 2017 (EST)
 * The name "Giant Gringill" exists....but is in reference to the smaller orange type (as said in the Drip Drop Galaxy), so it wouldn't work... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:24, 29 January 2018 (EST)

 * "Giant Gringill" is a localization mistake because the penguins were generically referring to them as "giant anago" instead of "Giant Anagon" in the Japanese version; either way, both Prima guides group them together as "Gringill" plainly. LinkTheLefty (talk) 12:53, 9 February 2019 (EST)
 * Snakehead is kinda unfitting, given that they're actually eels, so i don't know wether Giant Gringill is only erroneously used to refer to the small ones. -- 13:37, 28 February 2019 (EST)
 * "Giant" is likely a generic description only capitalized due to being the first word of a sentence. Anyways, given that snakeheads in real life are a carnivorous, large-eyed, lengthy fish, it's not that unreasonable. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:07, 28 February 2019 (EST)
 * Not really, it can go either way, but i'd prefer to be consistent with the normal Gringill's name personally. -- 13:08, March 29, 2019 (EDT)
 * But it was never called that. The regular Gringills were called "giant Gringills" in the Drip-Drop Galaxy, and the large ones are never acknowledged in in-game text at all. Guide call both simply "Gringill." Closest we could do is "Gringill (large)." Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:10, March 29, 2019 (EDT)
 * Per how we handled the land Urchin, we can either split it as "Gringill (big)", or "Gringill (large)". -- 13:13, March 29, 2019 (EDT)
 * I'd say "big" is the likelier identifier. LinkTheLefty (talk) 13:59, March 29, 2019 (EDT)
