Talk:Devourer of souls

Is this real? / merge
I question if Devourer even is a race at all. The clearest two examples are Reliquary of Souls and Devourer of Souls. Nothing in the first leads to the name Devourer. The only thing in comon is, well, souls. Also, if only two or three of these exist then does it merit a whole new page or should the content be described on the existing pages of the raid fights?

 * Probably not. This is a Shammiesgun page. A page like this is not unprecedented, however.-- 01:35, 28 March 2020 (UTC)


 * I recommend merging this with the trivia section of Devourer of Souls, unless there are other references that would support the two creatures (and others) are in fact of the same race. DDC (talk) 01:51, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I'd personally turn this page into something like "Yo, here are all the creatures sharing the same kind of model" instead of trying to explain them as being of the same race. Something like Demonhunter. Xporc (talk) 10:33, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I think I like that idea better. We can have a page on the model, and go about noting similarities and such, without making more claims than can be backed up. PeterWind (talk) 14:25, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
 * What do you guys think of the current version? Xporc (talk) 16:48, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
 * still not sure about the mention of "exert" since i'd assume that's a description of the sound type, rather than the creature-- but either way, the page is much better! —Eithris (talk) 18:27, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
 * It's definitely a description of the sound type. In voice acting, exerts are all the grunts and groans and such. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 20:14, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I took it further in that direction... but to be honest I still would champion a merge because I don't think there's enough content to merit an entire article when the trivia section of Devourer of Souls would do. (I would think differently if this model were used dozens of times; but to my knowledge, its only notable in two boss encounters.) DDC (talk) 02:31, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Name
Now that there's a Shadowlands race actually called Devourer, this page has been moved to the temporary name of Devourer model. I'm a bit torn between coming up with a new fake name or just killing it entirely and leaving these as uncategorized creatures. Thoughts? -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 19:46, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I personally don't think this page has much value, so I'd go with the latter. -- 19:53, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I would keep it with maybe take the fake name from the achievement Three Faced and name the creature page "Three faced creature". Mrforesttroll (talk) 21:00, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I dunno, "three faced creature" is to me an even worse name. I think it's too vague as there are many three headed creatures by now. PeterWind (talk) 21:58, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Agreed. -- 22:06, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
 * What about "Three faced devourer"? Mrforesttroll (talk) 22:13, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Or "Devorer of soul" Xporc (talk) 22:25, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
 * "Three-faced devourer" is a somewhat better name, but don't the Shadowlands devourers also have multiple faces? Having one page for multi-faced "devourers" and another for "three-faced devourers" seems needlessly confusing considering that the two have nothing to do with each other. I'm still of the opinion that a page like this isn't needed either way. -- 22:27, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Took the liberty to move the page in order to fix the links left broken by the move. Xporc (talk) 23:22, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Can we at least change it to "Devourer of souls"? Unless they're eating Bronjahm's music... -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 01:09, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Hey, nothing wrong with a little soul from time to time Xporc (talk) 09:04, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * "The Devourer of Souls is a devourer of souls" seems like a pretty bad solution to me. -- 12:15, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
