Scientific Names

[Aethix 129]

The topic on Stallord and its possible relationships to other enemies in the Zelda universe got me thinking about groupings in monsters and organizing them into categories. This got me thinking about scientific names. So I decided to compile a list of possible scientific names for various enemies in the Zelda universe using an English-to-Latin online translator. Note that many of these are just adding the -us suffix to the names, and I am aware of that, so there is no need to point that out.

• Moblin: Sus mobus
  
• Bokoblin: Sus bokos
  
• Miniblin: Sus minimus
  
• Poe: Phasmatis poeus
  
• Ghini Phasmatis ghinis
  
• Octorok: Octomus vulgaris
  
• Big Octo: Octomus magnus
  
• Deku Scrub: Frutex dekus
  
• Business Scrub: Frutex res
  
• Mad Scrub: Frutex dementis
  
• Armos: Armos statua
  
• Armos Knight: Armos militis
  
• Armos Warrior: Armos proeliator
  
• Deku Baba: Babas dekus
  
• Boko Baba: Babas bokos
  
• Bio Deku Baba: Babas aqua
  
• Baba Serpent: Babas serpentis (seriously, the stupid online translator did not have a word for snake)
  
• Diababa: Babas rex
  
• Stal: Stallus caput
  
• Stalchild: Stallus parvulus
  
• Stalhound: Stallus canus
  
• Stalkin: Stallus minimus
  
• Stalfos: Stallus inimicus
  
• Stallord: Stallus dominus
  

I will update and expand the list later. Feel free to post your own suggestions and contributions.

Just when I think I got them all memorized! Anyways, not bad. I think more thought could've gone into them other then translations.
