Conjectural title?

That's a very creative name for a conjectural title isn't it? Wouldn't it be better if we changed this to something more descriptive? The same applies to other enemies like Firewheel, Flameface, Hoolet and many others. — Lady Sophie ^(T|C) 19:16, December 14, 2024 (EST)

Strongly agree. Conjectural names should absolutely not be as interpretative as these are, especially "Hootlet", goodness. I don't have any good suggestions for new names since I'm not familiar enough with SPP, but these ones should totally go. PopitTart (talk) 20:30, December 14, 2024 (EST)

The first ideas that come to mind:

• • Smogball —> Yellow cloud
  • Hoolet —> Hoo baby / Hoo's baby
  • Firewheel —> Spinning stone
  • Flameface —> Burning rock

We should honestly do a full-on proposal to change all these names now that I think about it… Technetium (talk) 20:46, December 14, 2024 (EST)

"Spinning stone" is outright wrong, it's fire surrounding a gray face. And I don't think calling an owlet a name diminutive to the boss that spawns it is anything off. The other suggestions.... just sound too generic, IMO. They sound like totally inanimate things you could find in real life. All this said, there's a rather in-depth Japanese guide, so I invite anyone to find names for them from there. I'd do it myself, but it's so huge and the clouds are so dense today it's loading slowly for me. But I'll give you a hint: for this enemy, check page 39 (ie 20/112).

I'll look into that guide and probably also move this discussion to the game's page for a proposal. Thank you. — Lady Sophie ^(T|C) 07:03, December 15, 2024 (EST)
