I might make a page for Reptisaurus since its apparently allowed but I do got a quick question. Would the infobox image come from just the Gorgo issue it appears in? It did appear in its own series afterall
User talk:Les
If that's feasible, yes, as much of the information as possible should be tailored to its role in Gorgo. It would be fine to mention in the lede how it had its own series and was originally Reptilicus, though, because there's no sense in pretending that's not the case.
Figured it'd be that way, thx
YES; i knew it
Just wondering because I don't think they're stated anywhere to be canids. They're stated to be "Canus" in some of their profiles but that's not Canis.
They are designed after jackals, which are canines. It is canine-like.
There are too many elements to deny. The Canus thing which was probably a typo originally, the fact they're named "Jackal," they're characterized as mammalian despite looking reptilian (warm-blooded, pack behavior, birthing live young, etc.), Titan Chasers even has the Dire variant that's clearly playing off a dire wolf.
Just wondering about this because I don't think it's specifically stated anywhere to be a Mechagodzilla? It's in a Mechagodzilla book but I don't think that necessarily means it is actually a MG incarnation. But idk
I've hardly touched that page, but what evidence is there to the contrary? It was included as part of the Mechagodzilla Special Exhibition at Godzilla Interception Operation Awaji on a pair of walls labeled "MECHAGODZILLA." That seems pretty clear. Simply having its own name isn't disqualifying, as there are other oddly-named Mechagodzillas like Kiryu, G Breaker, and the upcoming Automatazilla which its artist described as a Mechagodzilla.
Same thing as saying that Mechagodzilla from godzilla island does not count as a mechagodzilla incarnation Or godzilla comic versions
I mean unlike the other robot copies of Godzilla that isn't name Mechagodzilla, Robogodzilla looks like a Mechagodzilla, more specifically Showa and a little bit of Kiryu
@Astounding Beyond Belief opinion?
I think it's better to explain my reasoning here than edit it back and forth. The Birth of Kong Psychovulture's design is different from the MLOM design but it is still a female. The tab could just say "MLoM female" so that it doesn't look off when compared to the BoK one which would be labelled "Female". Also any time that a monster appeared in a new movie or episode, it got the spoiler tag so the Psychovulture should probably also get it.
If that's what you led with it probably would have been more agreeable, but you were fighting me on one saying "Female" and one saying "MLoM" which made no sense to me. I still don't see it as terribly necessary though. As I pointed to in my edit summary, there's an incongruity with the last tab labeled "Alpha male." That is not simply a tab for any male Psychovulture, it implies it's either a specific individual or a special form (like a Skullcrawler Alpha or a Vinestrangler Alpha). In that arrangement, it makes more sense to contrast the special Alpha Psychovulture with regular ones, not focusing on gender.
As for the spoiler thing, I don't remember things being tagged that way, but I don't see why we should be beholden to it. You've yet to actually make the case for why it's necessary. I realize some people might want to go into a show completely blind, but those people should probably not be using the site then; if we catered to that kind of person with everything, we should be tagging every single monster that made a new appearance in anything. The spoiler tag in my mind should be reserved for things that are major information about plot that cannot be ascertained from marketing. The Psychovulture was readily advertised with a clip that was posted days before the episode aired, and Apple has consistently uploaded monsters' full scenes after the episodes. They clearly don't consider it a spoiler either.
hey les, wanted to explain my reasoning for changing it to just carapace. I saw on the other anguirus pages (godzilland and first generation) that it was just titled "carapace". I also saw that on kamoebas' page it just said "carapace", so I made the change for consistency's sake. if spiked carapace is the preferred term, would you want those pages to be changed to reflect that?
The main Anguirus page has always said spiked, and First Gen used to as well but you changed it.
I think it's important to note in Anguirus' case, because he uses the spikes offensively. Whereas Kamoebas' just makes him more durable.
oh I didn't realize that was me who changed it lol, I can turn it back then. so for kamoebas its fine because the spikes aren't used offensively? am I understanding that right?
Yup
gotcha, just fixed up my mistakes btw
Hey Les, I was wondering if it was worth mentioning on Transforming Mechagodzilla's page that in Godzilla Battle Line, he can shoot beams from his finger tips (in the game, he shoots these beams rapidly in short bursts but in a concept art drawing provided by Shinji Nishikawa, it seems that he can also fire them as continuous beams) and the split garuda nose can fold down onto his shoulders to also shoot beams. In the game he doesn't use them separately though and they're just part of his "All Weapon AttacK"
hey Les, could you delete the robogodzilla redirect to minor toho monsters. I finished off the sandbox but it wont let me move it because of the redirect's existence
edit: nvm, ABB already did it
The category for snake monsters states "or resembles snakes", which is why I put it on the Slither Flower. Another thing is that the Drownviper, which is a fish thing, is in it aswell
My read of that caveat is being obviously based on snakes, not just sharing basic features with them. It's there to be inclusive of monsters that are not snakes canonically, like King Cobra and Doggross who are a demon and mutated human, respectively, but are clearly drawing on snakes. It seems silly to me to call something snakelike just for having a long, limbless body (not something exclusive to snakes), especially when we know precisely what non-snake animal it's based on.
As for the Drownviper, I think the comparison is fair when it has "viper" in its name and is repeatedly called by snake comparisons in the novelization.
Ah, ok
It is an addon to Isle of the Damned (which itself is kind of an addon to the original ttrpg) but it's still a seperate book. Also, the Creature Codex has some monsters that Isle of the Damned doesn't and vice versa.
@Astounding Beyond Belief thoughts?
It has a page right now.
Oh mb I got the two confused. Isle of the Damned redirects to the Creature Codex
Where does it redirect? There aren't pages by the full title or "Isle of the Damned."
Sorry for the late reply but when you go into the Creature Codex page and click on Isle of the Damned at the top which is listed as the next book after the codex, it says that the page doesn't exist and was moved to Creature Codex. I got confused when I said redirect
It mighty sound crazy what I'm bout to say
Hi again!
Like TRoG a while back, I’ve made made a version of the international GvB logo and was wondering if it would be useable as the navigation image. Both the text and colours have been based directly on the logo used in the international poster and I’ve included the black outline for "VS". If you’re interested, I can upload a temporary file of the logo before you make your decision.
Not as compressed as that, there’s only a black outline on the "VS" bit too. I’ll upload it if Les is interested.
Sure, I'll take a look.
Right, I won’t be able to respond immediately, it’s getting a little late over here, but I’ll include add it and see what you think later. If you’re not sure on it, I’d love some notes. Thanks!
Apologies for not sending it earlier, I just needed to sort some personal things out.
I think it looks better than what we have in pretty much every way. Feel free to replace it.
Ah, alright. Would you prefer me to update the GvB navigation file or rename the temporary file? I’m just wondering if two different navigational files would be considered unnecessary.
You can overwrite the one that's used in the template already.
