Talk:Croctopus
Is this the same octopus thats encountered in Banjo-Tooie in Jolly Roger Lagoon? WarioLoaf (talk)
I've seen a screenshot of that octopus and the two do look similar, I'll try and find the picture. -- Sir Grodus
Found the picture! So what do you guys think? The same or different? -- Sir Grodus
Same. It's Croctopus. File:Mayor.gifPaper Jorge
Okay, can someone who knows what that Croctopus is doing in Jolly Roger's Lagoon add it to the article. -- Sir Grodus
Obviously a resting spot for TWO croctopuses. WarioLoaf (talk)
Since I know...
Well he is trying to block Banjo from passing. he is in a large room. He will move his tentacles up and down. Banjo has to swim and avoid.
Also there are about three or two in that level. File:Mayor.gifPaper Jorge
What's the official name of this character (and the source)? We can't just assume it's a Croctopus. -- Son of Suns
I think the Banjo-Tooie octopi might not have a name, Rare got kind of lax in naming things in the N64 age, as evidenced by the boatload of unamed characters from Donkey Kong 64. I don't think a Croctopus appearing in Banjo-Tooie is that farfetched, a Gnawty does, afterall, also appear in the game. -- Sir Grodus
We can put it in trivia and say "a creature that looks alot like a croctopus is in......... " sorta thing. WarioLoaf (talk)
- I agree with WarioLoaf. We should indicate it is most likely a Croctopus, but that it could be an unrelated species. -- Son of Suns
- It'll stay that way till it can be officially proven, though its unlikely Rare would make a second species of Octopi WarioLoaf (talk)
Meh, I just stuck it in the trivia section, feel free to do what you want now. -- Sir Grodus
P.S. The website I got that image from, Dkvine.com even has a joke caption for the picture, "The return of Croctopus!".
Croctopi?
Is there any evidence for the plural form "Croctopi"? Time Questions 10:14, 30 July 2009 (EDT)
- Well, -us is a common ending in Latin, and it's plural form is -i, so I'd say "Croctopi" is correct. -

Croctopuses make little sense grammatically, so I assume Croctopi is the correct plural form. Since there really isn't any evidence for what the correct plural form is, let's just go with the grammatically correct term.--Knife (talk) 15:13, 29 December 2009 (EST)
- "Croctopuses" does make sense: according to Wiktionary, "octopuses" is the most common plural form of "octopus" (other forms are "octopi" and "octopodes"). Also, there are two different -us endings in Latin, only one of which has the plural form -i (it's not the "octop-us" one). Time Questions 08:34, 30 December 2009 (EST)
(other forms are "octopi" and "octopodes")
"Octopi" is still among the correct forms, so there's no problem. -
