Mini Lava Spider

Apparently the "real" name for this is "Miniature Lava Spider" as discovered via Kimberly. (this link is an example with kuuna, to show how kimberly shows the mini names for those who don't know http://img115.imageshack.us/img115/426/kimberlylf4.jpg). Should this be noted?

Edit- My bad, the pic is for a varesh, not a kuuna. My question still stands thoughAilina 07:06, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

I think it's okay if you want to add a trivia note that the game also treats this as a mini lava spider. However, I don't think it's fair to say that one name is real and the other isn't. One is used as a display name for the icon; another is used as some other internal parameter, which Kathleen uses for her taunts.

Clearly, someone changed the name at some point from one to the other, but failed to update both data fields; I don't think there's anyway to determine which was the original and which was the new one (just look at how often any of us remember to update all the parameters related to Nick's weekly request/remaining requests). – Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 10:05, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

You're absolutely right; I phrased it poorly (hence why "real" is in quotations, because I couldn't think of the better term for it). Any suggestions on how I should word the trivia? Ailina 15:08, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

It's accurate to report that Kathleen calls it a Miniature Lava Spider — that doesn't require any speculation at all on our part about whether that alternative name is used anywhere else (or whether she has <ahem> pet names for any of the other minis). – Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 16:03, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
