:I was under the impression that we use "design" sections to cover etymology, if needed. See [[Shadow#Design|Shadow]] for an example and [[Star Seeker#Design|Star Seeker]] for an exemplary use of combining "appearance" and "etymology" (even though this is a weapon article, it still gets the point across; this absolutely could and should be done with enemy articles). "Design" sections cover the design of the entire subject, including things such as appearance and etymology, while "Appearance" covers the physical features strictly. We could technically split them into "Appearance" and "Etymology" sections, but as we're able to effectively use them in one section, it's redundant. | :I was under the impression that we use "design" sections to cover etymology, if needed.

:In this case (@Crono), they ''are'' designed. They're monsters in a video game -- video game monsters are ''designed'' by someone. Not to mention they aren't animals; have you ever heard of an animal named "Aeroplane", "Shadow Blob" or "Missilediver"? <!--lolno, you haven't.--> --{{User:LegoAlchemist/Sig}} 03:58, 26 May 2011 (EDT) | :In this case (@Crono), they ''are'' designed.

::To add on to that, "Appearance" sections could be used when there really isn't any etymology to cover (such as Maleficent's Goons). --{{User:LegoAlchemist/Sig}} 04:00, 26 May 2011 (EDT) | |||
