Merge with Mini-Goblin?

I'm rather certain that this monster line is in fact the Mini-Goblin monster line, just redesigned. Their Japanese names are the same (Goblin and Goblord are named Angry Goblin and Baboon Goblin respectively) and their elemental resistances, usable items and attack methods are identical. Should the two be merged? --Mercury Mech 23:51, 23 April 2011 (CDT)Reply[reply]

They really are? Well then I would support that merge because that would instantly indicate they are the same line. Erik the Appreciator 03:25, 24 April 2011 (CDT)Reply[reply]
I don't have time to check for myself, but I'll trust you on this one. Should we call it the Goblin monster line? The World's Hungriest Paperweight 16:20, 25 April 2011 (CDT)Reply[reply]
Hmm. The first game's exclusive line is Hobgoblin, Kobold, and Goblin and is currently named Hobgoblin monster line. The second game's line is Mini-Goblin, Alec Goblin, and Baboon Goblin, and is currently named Mini-Goblin monster line. With this line returning in Dark Dawn, Mini-Goblin is now Gobling, Alec Goblin is now Goblin, and Baboon Goblin is now Goblord. Now, that this DD line has Goblin in it the same way the separate GS1 line has a Goblin in it is what's making this difficult to determine. The GS1 line can safely stay at Hobgoblin monster line, but since the two entirely separate lines each have a "Goblin", naming this line "Goblin" actually seems like the least preferable option to use to differentiate this line from the first game's line. To me, this sounds more like a decision between whether to keep the second line's name at Mini-Goblin monster line or change it to Gobling monster line...

Oh. Yeah. Forgot about the other goblins. Nevermind! ^_^; The World's Hungriest Paperweight 11:11, 26 April 2011 (CDT)Reply[reply]
Huh, I totally forgot the above discussion happened. Well, now that I'm here a year later in the middle of a big enemy rewriting project across the entire wiki, I'm announcing that I'll cover the GBA Mini-Goblins here. I suppose I'll keep the merged article page as Gobling enemy line for the reason we have a Crusader class series, Starburst Psynergy series, and what will be separate Wyvern and Sky Dragon enemy lines down the road. However, in the GBA enemy lines directory template the name will remain appearing as "Mini-Goblin". Erik the Appreciator 01:46, 5 May 2012 (CDT)Reply[reply]
