Template talk:FireEnemy

Warm?
Warm seems a bit vague, and not even particularly accurate, as something like Geldman lives in a desert, but its not warm itself. Heck, deserts get incredibly cold at night. Sand is not warm by default. Not only that, but there are various other desert enemies who aren't on this list. To be honest though, I'm not that fond of some of these templates, they can be kind of arbitrary and not very specific. I think "Fire Enemy" and "Desert/Sand Enemy" templates would be better. There's definitely more than enough of each, there's numerous fire and sand enemies NOT on this list. Fizzle 09:25, 29 September 2011 (EDT)
 * That sounds like a better division than this is. It'd be up for it.— 11:23, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

 * I'm all for splitting them, since sand isn't necessarily warm and "Warm" is a pretty weak adjective for fire enemies. I suggest headers of "Fiery Enemies" or "Fire-based Enemies" for the FireEnemy template and "Sand-based Enemies" or "Sand-dwelling Enemies" for the SandEnemy template. 21:25, 21 October 2011 (EDT)

Fire-breathing?
Forgive me, but aren't there hundreds of enemies that breath fire in the series? So are Zoras fire-based enemies now? I don't like this. I argued a split from warm enemies to seperate them from sand enemies, but including every enemy that can breath fire is really just asking for trouble. So what, we add Zoras to a fire template? How does that make sense? At what point does it stop? How about a sword template for every enemy that uses a sword? We'd end up with an endless pile of templates under every enemy. We already now have a new "electrified" template, which just covers enemies that use electrical attacks (so Demise of all people is an electrical enemy now, apparently), which I personally don't agree with.

Lizalfos don't even breath fire in the majority of their appearances! So all it takes is for an enemy to spit a fireball in one game to become a "fire-based" enemy? We need to be RUTHLESS with our definitions if we want to avoid endless rows of templates beneath each page.

Oh, but apparently since I don't use the Skype thing I can't discuss this with anyone, because nobody wants to use these rather handy little talk pages. Come on guys, its a pretty big change not to discuss this here. 11:52, 19 February 2012 (EST)
