My guess is that "Lavabuu" is probably Lava Ghost due to "Buu" being "Boo", which is how the [https://mariowiki.net/wiki/Lavabuu German wiki] takes it as well, given that they seem more ghost-like than the ordinary Spark Spooks. Would the etymology of "Lavallon" give us another clue (I'm assuming it's the simpler "Lava-balloon")?

::::I'm unsure as to what the "-llon" part of "lavallon" comes from honestly. "Balloon" ''could'' be the origin though, given how the book does use English words sometimes (like how "Burner Heiho" is called a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzoHFXHTFO4&t=3m10s Flame Guy]). But what did you make out of the second blurrier bio anyways? {{User:Somethingone/sig}} 11:13, June 10, 2022 (EDT) | |||
:::::I got this out of it: ''Genau wie der Brödelschleim ist mit dem Lavallon nichts zu machen - einfach nur aufweichen!'' (not 100%). I was hoping it'd mention the screech it makes or the angle of its trajectory, but it doesn't look like it.

::::::Okay, so I decided to check the parts of the book where the Lava Ghosts and Spark Spooks are found, but [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzoHFXHTFO4 alas,] I'm not sure if I missed anything but I don't see either name used in the level portions. {{User:Somethingone/sig}} 12:54, June 10, 2022 (EDT) | |||
:::::::Just wanna point out that in most languages, "ballon" and cognates just mean "ball," not the English meaning of "balloon." Lava Bubble is just a ball of lava, so it makes sense as "Lavallon."

::::::::Makes sense. I also just realized something; could Lavabuu's description of "dough slime" refer to the Lava Ghost's longer, drippy body? {{User:Somethingone/sig}} 12:40, July 9, 2022 (EDT) | |||
