Talk:Monopod

This is more or less the same page as Dufflepud, as Dufflepuds and Monopods are the same creatures. Storyseeker1 11:31, July 3, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, but I just re-read the VDT book, and it says that Monopods and Dufflepuds are the same race. The creatures originally called themselves Monopods, but decided in the end to call themselves Dufflepuds instead. Storyseeker1 17:40, July 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well technically, Dufflepuds are a type of monopod, and Lewis does refer to monopods in The Last Battle, saying that they come from the eastern islands. but even so, you're right; this page is about Dufflepuds. It needs to be edited so that it only cites Dufflepuds as an example of monopods.

Sorry, but I have to disagree. Aside from the name, there is difference at all. The Dufflepuds were as you said; originally a race of dwarves who lived on Coriakin's Island, called Duffers. They made him angry for some reason, and he turned them all into one-legged creatures. They were given the name Monopods at first, and then made themselves invisible because they thought they were so ugly, only to end up getting Lucy to make them visible again. After that, they were then pleased with their new name of Monopods, but they kept on getting it confused with their first name, Duffers, and so in the end called themselves Dufflepuds.
 * I feel like there is a difference: monopods are people with one foot known to inhabit eastern islands; Dufflepuds are a specific people of that race: inhabitants of Coriakin's Island and former dwarfs.

Then again, with that in mind, it's possible the Dufflepuds, or at least some of them, could have ended up changing their minds again, in later years, about their name. In the book, Lewis writes, and I quote, ''"But they soon got it mixed up with their old name of Duffers and finally settled down to calling themselves the Dufflepuds; and that is what they will probably be called for centuries." ''

Either way, it just seems like a waste of internet space to make a new page for just a little info, when you can easily put it on the one page with Dufflepuds. But you're the admin, so it's your final call.

Oh, and Happy Independance Day! Storyseeker1 01:00, July 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Happy Fourth to you as well! I don't want to win this argument by pulling rank; there's no need to create division. I'm just referring to the doorway scene in The Last Battle in which Lewis says that monopods and other strange creatures came from the eastern islands (emphasis on the plural there, and the use of "monopods" rather than "Dufflepuds". If you still think that I'm over thinking this, I'm fine with redirecting to Dufflepud. Actually that'd be easier than rewriting the article ;)

Sounds fine with me. I'm all for redirecting :) Hope you have a great holiday.  Storyseeker1 08:47, July 4, 2012 (UTC)
