I think "lithopod" might be derived from the Greek word "lithos", which means stone (as they consume stone) and "arthopod", which are insects/arachnids. If this is the case, it might be a good idea to make a trivia section about this. Thoughts? --PikminFanatic23

Agreed, but maybe we can get more solid confirmation. You say you're not 100% sure about that. {EspyoT} 06:49, 10 February 2012 (EST)
Well let's hear what the others have to say about this before actually confirming this thought. --PikminFanatic23
Seems pretty obvious and straightforward, yes, I guess you can add it if you wish.--Prezintenden
Okay, then I'll just do that then. --PikminFanatic23
See, that's what I don't particularly like. The sentence uses too many "likely" and "possibly due". This is a wiki about facts, not speculation. If those Greek words really mean what is stated, then that explanation is more than likely correct, and we don't need those speculative keywords. {EspyoT} 13:39, 12 February 2012 (EST)
