Name

I recall this boss being called "Death Bug" (with the title "Beetle Lord"), while the boss in the dungeon Insect Cavern is called "Ultra Death Bug" (with the title "Beetle King"). But I mostly played the game in German, so I may be wrong. However, I never read "Ultra Lord Death Bug" before. --Grandy02 16:27, 24 May 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I believe that you are correct, but this is the boss of Hero's Shrine. I have an snapshot I took, and the game officially calls this boss "Ultra Lord Death Bug". Beetle King is the boss of Insect Cavern, and the two are frequently mixed up do to a similar appearance. Did that answer your question? Alter  {T C B H } 23:59, 24 May 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I played through Hero's Shrine again (in English), and what appears on the screen is "Beetle Lord" (the title) and "Death Bug" (the name). Either there are different English translations, "Ultra Lord" is wrong or I've gone insane. :-P --Grandy02 13:03, 2 June 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Odd... I have the screenshot I took right here, and it says Ultra Lord Death Bug. It must have been a mistranslation. I guess we should just leave it as it is. No telling what's correct here. :( Alter  {T C B H } 18:36, 2 June 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
So there are really different English translations floating around? I would like to see the screenshot, could you post it? You use a ROM for taking screenshots, right? Maybe it has something do to with that? All other (few) websites saying something about this boss also call it "Beetle Lord: Death Bug", but none of them "Ultra Lord Death Bug". Really confused now... --Grandy02 19:03, 2 June 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Alright. I'll sign up for imageshack or something a little later when I have the time. I don't want to spam up the site, as it takes a mod to delete the images. So what does it say when you fight beetle lord? Alter  {T C B H } 21:04, 2 June 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Edit: Well, I uploaded the image, but it shrunk it so you can't see the text. Anyway, I tried using a different version or the ROM, and it said Beetle Lord Death Bug. So I guess from here we should find out what the one that also has the title of Undiscovered Parasitic "whatever" is. That will tell us what we need to know. :) Very odd...
