Talk:Croctopus

Is this the same octopus thats encountered in Banjo-Tooie in Jolly Roger Lagoon?

I've seen a screenshot of that octopus and the two do look similar, I'll try and find the picture. -- Sir Grodus

Found the picture! So what do you guys think? The same or different? -- Sir Grodus

Same. It's Croctopus. Paper Jorge

Okay, can someone who knows what that Croctopus is doing in Jolly Roger's Lagoon add it to the article. -- Sir Grodus

Obviously a resting spot for TWO croctopuses.

Since I know...

Well he is trying to block Banjo from passing. he is in a large room. He will move his tentacles up and down. Banjo has to swim and avoid.

Also there are about three or two in that level. Paper Jorge

What's the official name of this character (and the source)? We can't just assume it's a Croctopus. -- Son of Suns

I think the Banjo-Tooie octopi might not have a name, Rare got kind of lax in naming things in the N64 age, as evidenced by the boatload of unamed characters from Donkey Kong 64. I don't think a Croctopus appearing in Banjo-Tooie is that farfetched, a Gnawty does, afterall, also appear in the game. -- Sir Grodus

We can put it in trivia and say "a creature that looks alot like a croctopus is in......... " sorta thing.


 * I agree with WarioLoaf. We should indicate it is most likely a Croctopus, but that it could be an unrelated species. -- Son of Suns


 * It'll stay that way till it can be officially proven, though its unlikely Rare would make a second species of Octopi

Meh, I just stuck it in the trivia section, feel free to do what you want now. -- Sir Grodus

P.S. The website I got that image from, Dkvine.com even has a joke caption for the picture, "The return of Croctopus!".

Croctopi?
Is there any evidence for the plural form "Croctopi"? 10:14, 30 July 2009 (EDT)
 * Well, -us is a common ending in Latin, and it's plural form is -i, so I'd say "Croctopi" is correct. - 01:03, 28 September 2009 (EDT)

Croctopuses make little sense grammatically, so I assume Croctopi is the correct plural form. Since there really isn't any evidence for what the correct plural form is, let's just go with the grammatically correct term.-- 15:13, 29 December 2009 (EST)
 * "Croctopuses" does make sense: according to Wiktionary, "octopuses" is the most common plural form of "octopus" (other forms are "octopi" and "octopodes"). Also, there are two different -us endings in Latin, only one of which has the plural form -i (it's not the "octop-us" one). 08:34, 30 December 2009 (EST)
