Better name[]
Any ideas for a better name than 'Benthic'? It's hard to find for a new user - Dragonfree97 [talk] 20:05, June 17, 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah it being hard to find was why I added a link on the Fish article to here lol, how about something... Dive related? Or... what exactly does the game call it? ƒelinoel ~ (Talk) 12:36, June 18, 2013 (UTC)
- That's the thing, I don't think the game actually calls them anything, so the simplest name we can come up with the better. - Dragonfree97 [talk] 12:41, June 18, 2013 (UTC)
- This guide: http://www.thonky.com/animal-crossing-new-leaf/deep-sea-diving/ refers to them as "Deep Sea Creatures", as they live on the sea floor. The gold badge for filling out the entire Benthic encyclopedia is called "Walking Sea Creature Encyclopedia", apparently. HexZyle (talk) 13:17, June 18, 2013 (UTC)
- The Prima game guide refers to them as 'Deep Sea Catches' - Dragonfree97 [talk] 14:04, June 18, 2013 (UTC)

- I came up with the name Benthic when there was no English alternative at the time. The Japanese name for them is Seafood. I cannot think of any other single word that sums it up. Perhaps just have multiple redirects, and perhaps rename Benthic to something like Benthic (Creatures) or Diving (Creatures). Taliseth (talk) 14:56, June 18, 2013 (UTC)
- I'll go with 'Seafood' - Dragonfree97 [talk] 16:10, June 18, 2013 (UTC)
- The game does call them seafood... I guess I would vote for calling them that too. ƒelinoel ~ (Talk) 14:13, June 19, 2013 (UTC)
- Blathers calls them Sea Creatures (when you try to donate but have nothing to donate), and the Prima guide calls them Deep-Sea Creatures. They're also called Deep-Sea and Sea Creatures by other characters in the game, respectively. So Deep-Sea Creatures is a better name. There's no point calling them by their Japanese of "seafood" when this Wiki is directed mostly at English speaking countries - MerrytonRyan - (profile) - (talk) 18:39, June 19, 2013 (UTC)
- The badges and general remarks call them seafood which is what I was talking about, but if Blathers actually calls them that then I hugely support what it is now instead. ƒelinoel ~ (Talk) 14:50, June 24, 2013 (UTC)
