Category talk:Hybrid Elementals

From user talk pages
Hello Hakrev,

I see that you're knowledgable about many of the subspecies names that hadn't circulated among English-speaking players yet.

Do you happen to know if there is an official name for what we've been calling Hybrid Elementals? That name has bothered me for a long time. Is there a collective term to refer to Byrgen, Gefyrst, Baelfyr, and Ungeweder enemies?--Blue Donkey Kong (talk) 07:06, August 17, 2013 (UTC)

Each of the elementals (Byrgen, Gefyrst, Baelfyr, and Ungeweder) have their own subspecies. They are as follows:
 * Byrgen = Birugen
 * Gefyrst = Gefirusuto
 * Baelfyr = Beirufia
 * Ungeweder = Ungeueda

My jp is a little rusty but those are the basic translations as best I could do.--Hakrev (talk) 07:57, August 17, 2013 (UTC)

I don't know a lot about Japanese, but those look like nothing more than Japanese versions of the English names. So, I'm guessing that SE doesn't lump them together like we have with the Hybrid Elementals category, and that's been my suspicion for a while: that each of those dual-elementals should be a separate category. BG and ZAM lump them with normal elementals, while GE gives each hybrid elemental type its own category. Considering how Seekers of Adoulin has named them things like Speleothem Ungeweder and Treefrost Gefyrst, I think it would be most appropriate if we split Hybrid Elemental into 4 categories, and turn Hybrid Elemental into a disambiguation page. This would align with what you say about them being separate, and I think keeping them apart from traditional Elementals is useful from an organizational perspective. I'm going to propose a split on Category:Hybrid Elementals now.--Blue Donkey Kong (talk) 08:26, August 17, 2013 (UTC)
