Desperately trying to make sense of the official names of the CD-i Zelda enemies.

Current Name	Proposed Rename (where applicable)	Evidence
Abominom	Abominan	Said in-game by Alora. Spelling is given as "Abominan" in the UK guide, confirming the name link, though the pronunciation is quite ambiguous; it could also be Abominom or Abominam.
Acheman		Looks are similar to the Acheman sprite/drawing from Zelda II, but no official confirmation on its name.
Arkadai		Named in the UK guide. For some reason, the guide refers to the Shutoy Lake Arkadai as a raft? Were there rafts in the area at one point? Or is it just bad writing?
Armos		Concept is similar (stone statue-like warriors that wield a spear), though there's no official name confirmation and the designs look very different.
Arpagos		Said in-game by Kulvan, with the two related trade items (and UK guide) confirming the spelling.
Bago-Bago	Flying Smog	Not sure how the name was tied to this enemy, but they're way too different for any sort of connection. I propose the conjectural name "Flying Smog" due to the smoke billowing from its backside, and because it makes rooms dark when it hits Link or Zelda.
Boar	Pig (enemy)	Named in the Wand UK guide.
Boon		Called "bees" in the Wand UK guide. However, the Zelda II Boon art and this enemy look quite similar, and the enemy is referred to as "Killer Bees" in the NES Game Atlas. As such, I'm leaning more towards leaving the name as-is.
Bot		Matches this enemy the most in terms of design. For some reason, the UK guide calls these enemies "Tektites" or "Tiktites", despite the huge design difference between Bots and Tektites.
Boulder		Named in the UK guides.
Daira		Looks identical to the Zelda II Daira art. Plus, the Fish Lady cutscene names the enemy and confirms a link (even if she's technically referring to Fire Dairas).
Darknut		Matches very well with the LOZ Darknut art, even if there isn't a confirmation on their name. (They're referred to as "soldiers" in the UK guide.)
Deadite		Named in the Wand UK guide.
Deeler	Spider	Referred to as "spiders" in the UK guide. They don't look much like the Deeler's promo art. The enemy labeled "Tektite" on the page is a better fit, IMO
Dodongo		Named in-game by Link in Wand, with the UK guides confirming the name link.
Falling debris		Generic, fitting name for these things. No official name in the guides, and they're unlikely to get a unique page.
Fire Daira		Referred to as "fire creatures" in the UK guide, but the Dutch version of the guide calls them "Fire Dairas" (Vuur Dairas).
Fire Stalfos	Flame Stalfos	Slightly tweaked version of the Zelda Wiki name to prevent copying. It's entirely fan-made. Closest in appearance to the Stalfos Knight from Zelda II, given their sole sword.
Flying Snake	Flying Serpent	Slightly tweaked version of the Zelda Wiki name to prevent copying. It's (still) entirely fan-made. Referred to as "snakes" in the UK guides.
Ghini		Named on the back of the Wand of Gamelon box. Technically, there isn't a name link, but there's literally no other enemy that fits the Ghini name apart from this one.
Gleeok		Named in-game by Alora.
Gohma		Named in-game by Anutu and Sanda.
Goriya		Named in-game by the Sakado merchant. Name link is confirmed in UK guides.
Handwalker		No official name. Handwalker is conjectural, but it fits for now.
Head of Gleeok	Gleeok head (ONLY for the visual link!!!)	Called "Gleeok head" in the UK guides. This change will only be visual, don't worry.
Icicle		Generic name for this obstacle. What else could I name it?
Jawbee		Named in the UK guide.
Keese		Referred to as "bats" in the UK guides. The name is generic, though, and given that the Vire appears in Wand (and has its name confirmed), I'm leaning towards keeping the Keese link.
Lowder	Tree Slugs (maybe)	Referred to as "tree slugs" in the UK guide. This name makes no sense in Faces as they appear in Ganon's Lair. The Zelda II Lowder art and this enemy look quite similar, so it could go either way.
Mini-Dragon		Fan-made name, with no confirmation in the guides. It shall be kept until one is found.
Moa
Moblin Spearthrower		Named in-game by Makoto. The manual and UK guide adds the Spearthrower part.
Moldorm
Molten rocks		Generic name for this obstacle. It's not named in the UK guide.
Octorok		Named in-game by Link and TFOE's box art. The UK guide confirms the connection. Plus, the design matches very well with the LOZ art.
Phyrandaii		Named in the UK guide. They are also called "fire wheels".
Sancrumi		Named in-game by Gwonam. The Koridai world map concept art confirms the spelling. Technically, any of the unnamed flying creatures could be the Sancrumi, but it appears to be the first one you encounter (this one).
Scorpion		Named in the UK guide.
Skull-topped barrier		Named in the UK guide. Also called "pillars".
Spearfish		Named via the location Spearfish Falls, as well as in the UK guide.
Stalfos		Named on the back of the Wand of Gamelon box. Much like the Ghini, there isn't a name link, but there's no other enemy that fits the Stalfos name apart from this one and the projectile variant.
Stone statue
Tektite	Deeler	No name confirmation. Their design is a bit closer to the (blue) Deeler's art than the other spider; they have four eyes and are blue instead of purple
Vire		Named in the UK guide.
Wall Master (large)		Named in the UK guide. No distinction is made between it and the small variant.
Wall Master (small)		Named in the UK guide. No distinction is made between it and the large variant.
Zol
Zora
