Talk:Hyouzou

Scylla?
I don't think Hyouzou should be referred to as a scylla. (I found no raw to confirm it yet, but I suppose it has been introduced as a 人魚; of course if it is not the case all my remarks are pointless!) Considering all this, I don't understand why User:Animeman7890 is changing all "merman" into "scyllas". sff9 (talk) 21:56, January 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * There's a symmetry between fishmen and merfolk. Introducing a subcategory of merfolk (the so-called scyllas) would break this symmetry (there is no similar subcategory for the fishmen, see Hacchan)
 * If the original names for merman and scylla are the same, there's no reason not to follow the author's will. If Oda wanted to introduce Hyouzou as a proper scylla, he would have done it.
 * According to the Wikipedia article linked to "scylla", not only this word corresponds to one monster, not a species, but the description does not fit Hyouzou at all: "Scylla was a horrible sea monster with four eyes, six long necks equipped with grisly heads, each of which contained three rows of sharp teeth. Her body consisted of twelve tentacle-like legs and a cat's tail and with four to six dog-heads ringing her waist."
