this is a bit late  (sorry cain and thank you for indirectly prompting me to finally get to this) but i have been meaning to bring up some things.


 * renaming the Giant Skeleton Swordsman page to "Giant Skeleton" and combining it with the newly created Giant Skeleton Archer page.


 * renaming the Skeleton Swordsman page to "Skeleton" and adding info on the archer variant.


 * renaming the Small Undead Rat page to "Undead Rat" and adding info on the "Large Undead Rat" but keeping the Snow Rat on its own page.

"Why these distinctions?" one might ask. I will explain my reasoning...
 * keeping the Attack Dog and Flaming Attack Dog on their own pages and creating a separate page for the "Abyss Attack Dog".

giant  and normally sized Skeletons get combined for the same reason that Zombie and Undead Soldier have all of their variants on one page: they have the same model and texture but wield different weapons. furthermore, having their separate variants on their own pages is inconsistent with other humanoids that wield various weapons.

Snow Rat keeps its own page not only because they have a different texture, but because they inflict a different status effect (toxic) than the undead rats (poison). they are also found in an entirely removed area from the rest of the game.

Abyss Attack Dog get their own page because primarily: keeping with consistency of different models/texture on their own pages, but also because it is only encountered in the DLC. combining them with the Attack Dog and adding the "Artorias of the Abyss" category would mean that the ones encountered elsewhere in the game would be tagged with this as well. this might cause some confusion.

Thoughts? Agree or disagree with certain parts, or all of it? Ok with the name "Abyss Attack Dog"?
