"Vomiting Diglett"?
Is this really the agreed name for this creature? If it is, then fair enough - I only ask because it really sticks out compared to all the others.
Also, this page needs some editing, there are quite a few grammatical errors in the description. I'd do it myself, but I'm supposed to be working right now. MarcBrightside (talk) 20:33, October 26, 2014 (UTC)
I took it from the Uboachan thread, if you have a better name suggestion you can feel free to edit its name.Maqinor101 (talk) 08:16, October 27, 2014 (UTC)
No, it's fine - I don't want be that backseat admin guy - it seemed like a bit of an odd choice, that's all.MarcBrightside (talk) 08:57, October 27, 2014 (UTC)
- I don't think 'Vomiting Diglett' is a very good name, really. Names shouldn't posit that certain subjective interpretations be definitively labelled as fact, or suggest that certain characteristics ought to be thought of in a certain way. Obviously, there are exceptions to this, but I think that even the assumption that the protrusion from the cavity at the top of the creature is supposed to be a liquid is a tenuous theory at best, let alone that it should be thought of as 'vomit' emerging from a 'mouth'. If anything, it looks like a gelatinous foot to me. Furthermore, I think it would be a bit frivolous to name this thing after a Diglett. Not only would that be derivative and tasteless, but besides the oblong shape it doesn't even look anything like one.
To tell the truth, I never even considered this to be a character at all. It just looks like part of the terrain to me, like the arms and legs that stick out all over the White Desert. While I accept that a lot of the images in this game are subject to pareidolian misconceptions - which I do enjoy in itself, given that it's part of the game's charm and character - this... thing doesn't look any more like a creature to me than any other part of the White desert scenery.
As for what practical action to take regarding this page name - Well, it's not really up to me as a singular individual to decide that. // TenhGrey (talk) 04:27, October 29, 2014 (UTC)
