:I already added that. '''''Someone''''' decided it was a good idea to remove it [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 20:15, 8 February 2011 (UTC) | :I already added that. '''''Someone''''' decided it was a good idea to remove it [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 20:15, 8 February 2011 (UTC) | ||
:Then that '''''Someone''''' isn't very smart. It couldn't be any more obvious, it's practically slapping us in the face. | |||
I think I'll go to wikipedia and edit out that grass is green. | |||

[[User:Water Sprites|Water Sprites]] 14:36, 23 February 2011 (UTC) I think that the name origin of Desumasu is that "Desu" is Japanese for "To Be" and the "Masu" is "to Have" | |||
:That doesn't make any sense [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 14:38, 23 February 2011 (UTC) | |||
[[User:Water Sprites|Water Sprites]] 14:42, 23 February 2011 (UTC) I have actually just reaised that as "desu" also means "death", this could mean "to have death" | |||
:Or, you know, it could mean "death mask", given that it's holding a death mask. [[User:Blazios|Blazios]] 14:56, 23 February 2011 (UTC) | |||
[[User:Water Sprites|Water Sprites]] 15:08, 23 February 2011 (UTC) But as a direct translation, rather than changing it to "desumasuku" to become death mask. | |||
::It is a Death Mask. And it doesn't have to be exact you know...[[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 15:21, 23 February 2011 (UTC) | |||
[[User:Water Sprites|Water Sprites]] 16:00, 23 February 2011 (UTC) I know, I was just saying... | |||
[[User:Lanturn88|Lanturn88]] 06:46, 23 June 2011 (UTC) Another possibility is that its Japanese name could be related to Medusa (Scrambled around.) It is somewhat similar to the Medusa Head. | |||
:Unlikely due to the way Japanese works. In Japanese, "de" is a single character, as is "su", "ma" and "su" again. And it really isn't that similar to Medusa at all. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 07:42, 23 June 2011 (UTC) | |||
They're a bit different than "to be" and "to have", but I do think Desumasu is playing off of ですます体 ''desumasu-tai'' (polite Japanese). This is supported by Desumasu's page on the [http://dic.pixiv.net/a/%E3%83%87%E3%82%B9%E3%83%9E%E3%82%B9#h2_1 pixiv encyclopedia].

== Yamask's Eyes == | |||
Yamask's eyes seem to have a small circle at the lower part of their eye. That small circle is frequently used to show someone crying, so I think we should add it in the Biology/ Physiology section, since Yamask is said to be frequently crying.--[[User:Chosenwaffle668|Chosenwaffle668]] 21:14, 29 June 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Name Romanizations/Romanisations == | |||
I feel as though Yamask's Japanese name, Desumasu, should be romanized as Deathmas, and Cofagrigus' Japanese name should be romanized as Deathkarn. [[User:LittleOmu|LittleOmu]] ([[User talk:LittleOmu|talk]]) 17:50, 30 July 2012 (UTC) | |||
:The romanisations currently in use are the ones that have been trademarked and used by Nintendo. <span class="sc">[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</span> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 19:41, 30 July 2012 (UTC) | |||
