Enemy Names in Japanese- interesting findings

A few interesting things can be gleamed from the Japanese names for some of the enemies from this game. Source before I go on: http://bestiary.zeldalegends.net/index.php?game=z2&limit=

And they got it from something called the Futabasha guide.

Anyways, the enemy I've seen referred to as "Basilisk" on other sites, and which is a page-to-be-made from this page, is actually... a Zora! Yep- in AOL, Zoras were four-legged beasts.

Also, Barba and Volvagia have suspiciously-similar names in Japanese- Barubajia and Varubajia, respectively. Is it possible that, despite the English translation, they were meant to be one in the same?

The variety of Moa-like enemy, which floats for a while, stops, and opens its eye, has the Japanese name of Girobokku, whereas the Moa itself has its name translated directly from the Japanese- "Moa".

Clearly, they're two different enemies.

There's a whole lot more interesting stuff that can come from the Japanese names, and I'll be adding new articles on some of the otherwise-unnamed enemies, such as the birdlike knights from the Great Palace, known as Fokka in Japanese. Dinosaur bob 13:27, 19 October 2007 (EDT)

Pros?

Is this section really necessary? It seems a little... I don't know, POV? Ando 12:35, 18 January 2008 (EST)
