Talk:Batchee

Character or animal specie?
The recent edit war brought to my attention this page. I indeed think that "batchee" is the name of the animal specie rather the name of this particular animal. So if that's the case, this page should be moved to Animal Species.

What makes you think this way? In the databook, he's listed along with characters. And appears to be some kind of child word for "dirty", not a species. (BTW, where does the "Batchee" romanization come from?)

If I remember correctly in the Italian version of the databook the description used the word "Batchee" as species and not as character's name. I need to check it, though I wouldn't trust the Italian translation so much. I'll post here again when I'll confirm that.

I checked and indeed the description says "The Batchee fly - it's a particular kind of fly which Fullbody puts in the soup to...". With that description, I cannot see it as a character name and not as animal specie, but as I said I wouldn't trust that translation that much, though this has to be double-checked with the original version. The Batchee fly is also present in the animal dimension/aggressiveness graph, but so it's Laboon so that doesn't really prove anything.

It wouldn't matter anyway. Insects are animals. SeaTerror (talk) 17:44, February 4, 2013 (UTC)

OP Blue says it is an insect of Muscidae. It is unknown whether Batchī is a personal name or a name of species. --Klobis (talk) 02:59, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
