→Cartilage vs. Bones
| Line 40: | Line 40: | ||
If one must adamantly stick to including extra information, I think a better phrasing would be: "a colossal skeletal shark, although he appears to consist of bone rather than cartilage like real sharks." This is because the above statement implies that a cartilaginous shark would not have bones and therefore cannot be skeletal, even though they can. Again, I think it is unnecessary information since, for example, we don't mention every anatomical inaccuracy in the series, like [[Mushroom]]s lacking {{wp|Lamella (mycology)|gills/lamellae}}, because after all it is a fictional character so there is room for creative liberty.

:I think it veers on speculation territory to discussion the composition of this character because in the Mario series, what looks like sharks may as well have bones. It's the same series where plants have bones after all. {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 01:57, January 17, 2021 (EST) | :I think it veers on speculation territory to discussion the composition of this character because in the Mario series, what looks like sharks may as well have bones. It's the same series where plants have bones after all, and Mario's skeleton in some games can depict his nose as skeletal too (like Smash Bros.). {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 01:57, January 17, 2021 (EST) | ||
