Talk:Side Order/Enemy

The large enemy isn't based on a beluga whale
The large enemy isn't based on a beluga whale, but a species of fish with a similar head, having a large bump on its head that protrudes forwards and the same eye placement. As we're afraid of fish, we can't look for the particular species, but the Side Order enemy's appearance is too greatly different (a beluga's bump only protrudes slightly forward and its eyes are further back).

 * It wasn't said that it was based on the beluga whale, it was said that the design of the Side Order's largest enemy has a head shaped the same and has a similar shaped figure. The enemies in Side Order weren't based off of beluga whales, that's easy to see, but they do have a similar design, which i'm pretty sure is what the trivia said. There are various similarities which I would say are worth noting, specifically the large bubbly shaped head.  17:36, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
 * That changes nothing. It's supposed to be resemble a fish, not a beluga Arceusgjengen (talk) 17:58, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Doesn't mean that it cant have a similar design. What it was meant to reference and the comparison are two different things. But saying that it looks similar to a beluga whale might be conspiracy, so i'll just stick with what you say. 19:16, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
 * A few examples of fish with hump heads are the humphead parrotfish, humphead wrasse, and humphead cichlid (for others who are interested). Both belugas and humphead fish I've seen still have bigger faces in comparison to the hump than the enemy, though this is possibly stylization. I don't think it's completely unreasonable to compare it to a beluga, since most people probably associate the humps more with belugas than the fish 😢, but I agree that the fish are more likely to have been the actual inspiration. Particularly because there is a humphead parrotfish, the species the page already claims the enemies are similar to. Sourguppyworm (talk) 05:28, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
