Pidgit?

How on earth are Pidgits related to these? They don't seem to share any similarities with Owls besides being avian and don't even appear to be based on the same kind of real life bird.--vellidragon 11:47, 22 March 2010 (EDT)

This and Heavy Zed

So as it turns out, Heavy Zed shares its L.O.O. With the WLII iteration of this creature. Given this and the fact that the two have a near-identical function(sleepy owls that you jump/grab on to take you to a new place) and a similar design, and how Heavy Zed was also called an "Owl" once, should we merge them or at the very least consider them to be relatives of each other? (I'm aware the "Goo" name from the owl contradicts the in-game name of simply "Fukuro", but that's happened before; Mr. Eel is just called "Unagi-San" in-game in YS but Shogakukan gave them a connection to Snorkel Snake, which we consider Mr. Eel to be a variety of.) ^S _o ^m _e ^t _h ⁱ _n ^g _o ⁿ _e ! 08:45, August 4, 2022 (EDT)

"Fukuro" is more akin to "swimming beast" in this case, IMO. Adding to the fact these are all great horned owls and the games have the same development team, then these have a greater similarity than say, Hoot, which appears to only be called "Fukuro" in Japanese (someone may want to check the MPA JP cast to be sure, though).

Hoot is still just Fukuro in the Japanese MPA cast. (2h 18m 50s into the video linked is where Hoot is) ^S _o ^m _e ^t _h ⁱ _n ^g _o ⁿ _e ! 10:21, August 4, 2022 (EDT)
