I'm sure I am not the only person to have noticed the downright frustratingly sketchy information in some parts the Dark Souls official guide. While data itself is accurate for the most part, things like enemy names are a little baffling. Probably the worst offense is calling Hollows "zombies." I get the resemblance, of course, but the fact of the matter is that they are Hollows.

Guys, I know word of god is absolute, but let's be real: the official guide is far from perfect. It refers to the Daughter of Chaos as a male, for goodness' sake. My main gripe with the guide is the enemy names, but I'm going to leave this discussion open to other issues that you guys might have with it.

Back on the subject of names, enemies such as Hollow Warrior and Hollow Thieves (as they are referred to in the game by their corresponding item sets) are not named as such on this Wiki and instead, we have a very inconsistent system of naming enemies. Obviously, instances like that of the Infested Barbarian cloud the issue, because their referred names in-game are too generic or simply non-existent.

Therefore, I propose we adopt the following policy regarding enemy names: Refer to enemies by their in-game names as referred to by corresponding drops or other areas of the game. If an enemy does not have a clearly defined or obvious name, then the guide name should be taken.

I further propose that the following enemy names be changed: If you guys know of any other names that ought to be changed or if you think there are other areas of the guide that should be disregarded, please bring them up here. 
 * Zombie -> Hollow (enemy)
 * Armored Hollow -> Hollow Warrior
 * Undead Assassin -> Hollow Thief
 * Crystal Undead Soldier -> Crystal Hollow Soldier
 * Crystal General -> Crystal Hollow Knight
 * Engorged Zombie -> Engorged Hollow
 * Guardian -> Sanctuary Stone Knight, Stone Knight (Sanctuary) or something similar
 * Wyvern -> Drake
