Eyepod
The Heyedra and the Eyepod are the same monsters, why they have different articles?
- They shouldn't. Also, Sign with 4 tildes. Marandahir (talk) 09:43, 3 June 2016 (CDT)
They are not the same. See here and here. The Eyepod hangs from the ceiling. The Heyedra does not. - icysugarspike (talk) 10:13, 3 June 2016 (CDT)
- It is interesting to note that the early sprites of the Heyedra did have it hanging from the ceiling. Perhaps, this is where the confusion comes from. - icysugarspike (talk) 10:17, 3 June 2016 (CDT)
- Well, that someone happens to be DD, which is usually a pretty reliable source. I don't know. You could be right..... - icysugarspike (talk) 11:32, 3 June 2016 (CDT)
