Talk:Oinoloth

Suggestion to split
I'd love to suggest to split the article. The reason for the suggestion is that this article deals with the title "Oinoloth" whereas the infobox is of the oinoloth as a species.

The suggestion therefore is to split the article into an "Oinoloth (creature)" and an "Oinoloth (title)" article.

Best Regards

 * I don't think the two definitions are mutually exclusive. The Manual of the Planes 3rd edition says that there can only be one oinoloth attuned to that particular throne in that layer of Hades, but it doesn't say that there are no other such devices or other creatures of that type anywhere else. The abilities and general characteristics seem very similar. Moreover, the title as presented in the Manual of the Planes isn't even capitalized (I don't have access to Resurrection to see if it's the case there too). I think that, instead of splitting the article, an elegant solution could be to have the page refer to oinoloths in general and mention the particular one from Hades as an example of a notable oinoloth. — Sirwhiteout (talk) 16:19, July 9, 2018 (UTC)


 * Hmm, I don't see the need for a split here: If the information as presented in the article is correct, there is always only one oinoloth at any one time, who is both the wearer of the title of Oinoloth and transformed from its former race into the only member of the "race" of oinoloths. So you never have the one without the other. Daranios (talk) 20:11, July 9, 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the responses. I'm convinced. I like SirWhiteout's idea of describing the two as ordinary and special ones. If nobody objects, I'd love to write it with additional info this evening.
 * Again thank you for putting up with me.


 * Best Regards
