Damaging Bowser
If I understand the article correctly, this enemy is fought inside Bowser and she can take away Bowser's HP to replenish her own, correct? However, I came across another article of an enemy from this game, which trivia-section stated that it is the only enemy that can damage Bowser from inside. Which article is correct now? -

- Bowser isn't involved with the battle with Durmite. He is, however, involved with the Sea Pip Statue battle. I think that Sea Pipe Statue is the only one that can, but I may be wrong. SJ derp :P
I just wrote this as far as I know. I'm not really sure if Durmite reduces Bowser's HP when sucks health, making damage to him. With the statue, the blooper hurts bowser by using a drill-based attack to the plumbers inside him by burrowing through the King Koopa's tissues. However I don't know either if Bowser loses HP caused by the Blooper's attacks inside like Durmite's

Yes, Durmite can hurt Bowser
I remember fighting Durmite. When you allow Durmite to use the straw, she will suck HP away from Bowser to cure her own. Her "X" version doesn't hurt Bowser though.

Birdo
Can I mention her in this article?:

Birdobeauties
- As Trivia for sure. It's clear that she's based on a Birdo's facial design, but it would be difficult to actually incorporate her into the article, since a caterpillar is a far cry from a dinosaur. Maybe in the future, integration will be possible. - Walkazo 23:54, 29 September 2009 (EDT)
- I think it might be ok if the article doesn't state that Durmite is based on Birdo or is a direct reference to her (because that's not officially confirmed yet), but instead only says that their facial design looks somehow similar (so there's no false statement). -

Pillbo?
I looked in my guidebook thingy Endofenrir, and it says Pillbo for Durmite, but when I look in the boss section, it says Durmite. Could Pillbo be a name of it in another language? Can you help me with that? Baby Mario Bloops
- Well I don't know Durmites names in other languages, but I guess we have a problem if there are two names listed... -

- Okay, the more I think about it, the more sure I am. Pillbo and Wise Pillbo may not even be a mistake, or another name in a different language. Maybe this is a beta element, a english name that was going to be used, but changed it to Durmite and Wisdurm. With that information, that solves pretty much everything (guidebook could have had the beta name in it, but wasn't taken out be accidient we they came to print it). Baby
Merge to Durmite
MERGE TO DURMITE 0-10-0
Though named "Straw", it clearly extends from Durmite's mouth and can easily be seen to be a proboscis. Considering Durmite is an insect of some kind, which typically have probosces, this makes it all the more likely that the Straw is one and thus a part of Durmite. Though it has individual stats, that is not definitive of an individual character. Just like Exor and Smithy, the Straw is merely a different point of attack. Merge to avoid trivial, short articles and to create a more comprehensive main article for Durmite.

Merge to Durmite
- Redstar (talk) - Per proposal.
- Edofenrir (talk) - Per above.
- Bloc Partier (talk) -- Per all.
- Zero777 (talk) I am Zero! Suggesting what is straw and thinking it over, it seems like straw is a body part of Durmite and it should be merged. Zero signing out.
- library_girl (talk) - Per all
- Vellidragon (talk) - Per all. Not sure why this even got a seperate article to begin with; just because it has a different name that doesn't mean it needs its own article, and this seems to be no more than a body part of a monster covered in a different article.
- Woon (talk) I think this should definitly be merged. Straw is a part of Durmite and is an object used in a move. Since I have seen other articles here that have descriptions of moves in them, it doesn't really make sense to put Straw separated from Durmite. The Straw is a part of Durmite, so it should be part of the article. I vote to merge the article Straw with the article Durmite.
- Walkazo (talk) - Per all; body parts (which this clearly is) should not get separate articles.
- Gamefreak75 (talk) PEr all. Seems like you're on a roll with merging, Redstar.
- User:Yoshionfire Per All
Leave un-merged

Proposal has been up for 9 days, and currently has eight votes in support and none against. I think it's about time we just merge this, with a sysop's assent, but I'd like confirmation on Talk:Tuff Puff and Talk:Crystal Bit first because I have a lot of tabs open ready for clicking the Save button.

@Gamefreak75: Thanks, but this one was suggested by Edo. Can't take credit for something I wouldn't have noticed otherwise. Redstar 01:43, 24 December 2009 (EST)
@Redstar: I think you should merge it. It had a ton of votes before my proposal passed. So go for it. .
No, Durmite CAN'T hurt Bowser
The Sea Pipe Statue IS the only boss in the game who can. here's a reason why.
If Bowser has, say 2 HP, and Durmite steals 4, Bowser would faint. And since there are no "Bowser 1-up items", Mario and Luigi would instantly get a game over.
Besides, I started my Durmite battel with Bowser having 76 HP, and after the battle (Yes, Durmite DID heal during this) he still had 76 HP.
You're right. I remember fighting her too and she didn't steal Bowser's hp. URGENT EDITING NEEDED!!! User:MarioMaster720
