While comparing consistency between here and Zelda Wiki.org, I've noticed several differences. ZW has people looking for any use of a name for most of the early enemies, by policy puts the English names as the article names, and needs sources on many. One of the few that I found a source for was Pengator, which is labeled as Pentagator here. The source is the dreaded Legendofzelda.com's encyclopedia. If you guys have a better source for them, then major changes will be underway at ZW. Bear in mind, most of my work here will be on the uncreated Kirby games, but I do plan to keep SW and WK consistent. (I think I'm most annoying when I first join a wiki, but once I know all of the ins and outs, I'm good). [[User:Axiomist|Axiomist]] 06:13, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

:I was largely responsible for that, although other users have come along and made some changes.  I based most of the names on what I believe was the official Japanese guides for the game (two books, red and green).  In some cases, I deviated if I felt the English name was much more common, like the Pengator, which I admit I may have made a mistake on.  The Japanese name was ファンギン of Fangin (possibly Fanguin).  Unfortunately, the American guide has no bestiary.  At the moment, I can't recall the specific source the lead to "Pentagator."  If I can remember, I will reference my source here.
