Talk:Spiked Thwomp

Could be merged to Thwomp?

I know this will sound silly after suggesting a White Wolfos split, but I think these could easily be merged to Thwomp? The "one-eyed" part of the name is just describing an element of their appearance that is different from normal, but the games' versions of Thwimps also only have one eye and they're not given the same descriptor. And it just feels odd to not call the one-eyed Thwimps variants of this. (As for the name being Dosun instead of Dossun, I don't know trustworthy this site is, but it claims the name is spelled the usual Dossun way in Link's Awakening, which suggests "Dosun" is probably a typo.) There's also Echoes of Wisdom's Platboom, which only has one eye, but whose Japanese name (Megadon) follows the relatively-usual naming scheme for Thwomp-like enemies in the Mario series.

Seems possible, but I'm not quite sure until we get more concrete evidence (I'd like to get LTL back here...) Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:57, October 9, 2024 (UTC)

LinkTheLefty has confirmed the alternate Dossun name on Super Mario Wiki. Blinker (talk) 21:09, October 11, 2024 (UTC)

Sounds like that settles that. With or without the Hitotsume (and if it is there, I'd like to know in what manner, like a label or in prose)? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:47, October 12, 2024 (UTC)
