Talk:Kappa (level 23)

Probably distant relatives of Koopas. --JoDiamonds 05:30, 25 March 2006 (CST)
 * Was going to say! Kappa are impy demon things 05:31, 25 March 2006 (CST)


 * If there is a Kappa boss with a name anything close to Bowser, I wouldn't be suprised :D --Gares Redstorm 05:32, 25 March 2006 (CST)

Did I do something wrong while updating this page? My edits were reverted out and I don't see the reason why. I used Oni page as a reference to my style. O_o; I'm quite new to wiki .. trying to be a Bold editor, updating guildwiki's stubs, any inaccurate information and typos I find.


 * This isn't Wikipedia. But, I think the reference should be in the article.  --68.142.14.36 17:56, 29 March 2006 (CST)


 * My bad, I was trying to roll back the erasing of the " " tag that you did, but I rolled back the note as well by mistake. --Karlos 19:09, 29 March 2006 (CST)

Fabulous official screenshot image
Here. &mdash; Stabber 15:40, 20 April 2006 (CDT)


 * We should not be using their screenshot image, Karlos. I am fairly sure it is a copyright violation. &mdash; Stabber 00:24, 21 April 2006 (CDT)

We might need to reorganize
I just encountered Kappa in The Undercity. Those are level 20 and use Mind Freeze, Rust, Conjure Frost and Enervating Charge. They do not use Turtle Shell. I wouldn't be surprised to find they drop yet another sort of Kappa Shell (didn't get any yet). With all those different Kappa types we might consider breaking away from the standard layout here and maybe reorganize it in some sort of table, because I think it may become a little bit complex. :) --84-175 (talk) 08:10, 30 April 2006 (CDT)
 * After seeing just some of the different ones that I've seen, and as each level seems to have a different graphic, I think you might be right. Possibly even going so far as to doing Kappa (level 1), Kappa (level 6), Kappa (level 20), Kappa (level 23), etc...  --Rainith 16:29, 30 April 2006 (CDT)
 * I agree, the article should be split! The differences in habitat, size, look, skill set, drops, ... are too big to cover them all in one article. Let's make Kappa an article about the species and a disambig page, linking to the subtypes.
 * As for naming convention, as an alternative to the scheme that Rainith suggested, we might use the name prefixes of the dropped Kappa Shells, i.e. "Hatchling", "Elder", "Archaic", ... --Tetris L [[Image:TurningL sml.gif]]  08:51, 2 May 2006 (CDT)
 * The only issue I have with Tetris' naming scheme is what do we call the kappas that drop just plain old Kappa Shells. --Rainith 11:10, 2 May 2006 (CDT)

The Junior and Senior comes from the fact that more often than not a Level 6 Kappa is going to be with a couple of Level 1 Kappas in Kinya Province and Panjiang Peninsula, like a father protecting his young. --Gares Redstorm 17:32, 2 May 2006 (CDT)


 * I am against inventing names to monsters other than their own. If the monster is called Kappa in the game then it should not be called Kappa Jr, Kappa Sr or Pappa Kappa. It should be Kappa. Now you want to qualify the article with parenthese, put in them what you like. Kappa (Kaineng) vs Kappa (Shingjai) and Kappa (Jade Sea) would be a good idea (the kappa in each region seem to be the same but in different levels). Kappa (Archaic) vs Kappa (Edler) vs Kappa (Ancient) is fine too. But please no articles for monsters that hold names we come up with. --Karlos 06:22, 3 May 2006 (CDT)


 * There are 3 different leveled Kappa (1, 6, 10) in Shing Jea Island. Each one with increasing number of skills. I know Ancient (Lv20) is in the Undercity (Kaineng City). The Junior, Senior was a suggestion for the fact that naming them after shell types could not be possible with Lv6 Kappa dropping Kappa Shells. I'll cat them to locations and fix them accordingly. Seems that should satisfy everyone. --Gares Redstorm 11:31, 3 May 2006 (CDT)


 * The ones in the same locale have the same skill set (with the lower level ones having lexx skills than the higher level ones). In this case, just make the article about them and say they range in level from 1..10 and that their skills are x, Y (level 6 only) and Z (level 4 and level 6). --Karlos 12:44, 3 May 2006 (CDT)
