Real Name

Anyone have an official name for this Stu? I'm sure its official name has to do with it doing something, such as strollin' in Strollin' Stu. --Fake dino rules.

... I alway thought those were simply normal stues' and that the one stacked on top of it are just really small. --Blitzwing 19:19, 7 March 2008 (EST)
Anyone agree? --Blitzwing 14:02, 11 October 2008 (EDT)

Here's a question. Is the Giant Stu ever found by itself without the Strollin' Stus on its head? If not then I think it should just be called the Stackin' Stu. WolfenSage (talk) 01:05, 6 April 2016 (EDT)

Merge with Stackin' Stu

The Giant Stu and Stackin' Stu appear to be one and the same. They both only appear in Pinna Park as one enemy group; they aren't seen without one another. I'm not sure if Stackin' Stu's name is official (there's no ref on that page and I can't find one myself), but the Giant Stu's name isn't. Makes sense to me that the Giant Stu page should be merged with the Stackin' Stu one. Should Giant Stu be merged, it's page should be deleted due to an unofficial name.

Support

  1. Alex95 (talk) - Look up a bit.

Oppose

  1. Wildgoosespeeder (talk) The Strollin' Stus can be separated and killed off where only Giant Stu remains. That would be like merging Red Koopa Troopa with Red Koopa Paratroopa. No change.
  2. LudwigVon (talk) - This would be like merging Goomba Tower with Goomba or merging the giant version of an enemy with its standard form and I'm against that.

Comments

As a side note, I think Parentin' Stu might be a better name for this variation of Strollin' Stu. It also matches better the naming scheme motif. It also makes more sense as well because if you kill the Giant Stu before the Strollin' Stus when they are knocked off, they all die. Also Strollin' Stus piggy-back the Giant Stu, something that is somewhat common for a mother's young to do in general. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 23:02, 6 December 2016 (EST)

That could work as well. I don't see a {{conjecture}} on the Stackin' Stu page, though, so is its name official or no? Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 23:06, 6 December 2016 (EST)
I mean Giant Stu --> Parentin' Stu. Nothing to do with Stackin' Stu. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 23:09, 6 December 2016 (EST)
...The point I'm trying to make, though, is both types of enemies seem to be the same; one isn't seen without the other. Ergo a merge. Simply renaming Giant Stu would defeat the point of this. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 23:12, 6 December 2016 (EST)
