	::I personally disagree with this change. Singular generally looks better than plural in my opinion. Using plural makes sense if using singular forces the wording to be really weird, but singular should be the default. It's worth noting that Wikipedia uses singular to describe animals. — [[User:Soprano\|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano\|''(talk)'']]</sub> 15:58, February 25, 2024 (EST)		::I personally disagree with this change.

			:::Thank you for the feedback. I was simply following the trends for the wording for the articles to begin with. Before, the majority of non-boss common enemies were worded with plural formatting, with a minority having singular formatting. Likewise, the majority of rare/boss enemies were worded with singular formatting, with a minority being plural. I wanted to make it so that it was consistent according to this trend. As for which one makes more sense with reference to what Wikipedia does, it appears the formatting is split there as well. Large Animals: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bear (plural), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion (singular), Insects: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant (plural), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bee (plural), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasp (singular) We should stick to the formatting I proposed, do singular by default, or something else that is consistent and logical, but a decision should be made regardless. I would be more than happy to convert the wording back or to something else. -[[User:Ladishchap\|Ladishchap]] 16:34, February 25, 2024 (EST)
