Talk:Kalle Demos

If it MAY be the mother of all babas, what is it doing in The Wind Waker hundreds of centuries later? In Ocarina of Time, Babas pretty much lived by themselves, like any other plant. Even more, any Baba could be the mother of "all" Babas. They're plants after all so that information is irrelevant.

It should be the mother of all Boko Babas, not mother of all Babas. Though it does look a lot like a Deku Baba... Toon Link 2 18:39, 31 March 2008 (EDT)

Why did you revert my edit? If it's about my spelling, I fixed it. I'm sorry, I'm bad in English class. Jazzytetra

...is not Kalle Demos. Completely different enemy. Just thought I'd point that out here so that my reversion of this page isn't taken as confused hostility. 23:32, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Theory corrosponding with an alternate Timeline
I know that Diababa is just a normal Deku Baba transformed by a Fused Shadow, but is it possible that Diababa is the alternative timeline version of Kalle Demos? Considering Twilight Princess and The Wind Waker happen on alternate timelines at the same time... Although this minor theory isn't supported well, there should be a connection. -- կրակ (խոսել) -- 03:59, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
 * There may be one, but it would only exist as you pointed out - since TWW and TP are at the same place in different timelines. Other than that, I wouldn't really look into it much: they don't look or behave alike whatsoever. The only possible connections I could see is through their Baba lineage, and that some incarnation of the Boomerang is pivotal in their defeat. 17:34, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Is there any nintendo official evidence to support this alternate timeline theory? Would it not be more logical to say they are related? Ever since ocarina of time and majoras mask, everyone seems to think link is full of complicated timelines when they can all fit together in one simple timeline.

Title
Where is it stated that Kalle Demos' title is "Parasitic Plant"? To my knowledge, Molgera and Jalhalla are the only bosses in TWW with official titles... Hylian King 21:14, 26 August 2010 (EDT)
 * No, that's a common myth. They all have them. They're viewable through their figurines in the Nintendo Gallery. 02:48, August 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Are you sure? Because there's this Youtube video of the Nintendo Gallery here that says otherwise... Hylian King 20:38, 31 August 2010 (EDT)
 * I've also looked through the gallery and two different text dumps. The only places in the entire game where the word "parasite" are used are on Kalle Demos' and the Great Deku Tree's figurines, but it never used the term "parasitic plant". I'll remove it until you can show me proof of its title. 08:07, 9 September 2010 (EDT)

Name
Shouldn't it be ka-lay de-mos instead of kayle? It's Japanese name would imply it's supposed to be Ka-lay Pharap 16:32, 28 September 2010 (EDT)


 * See: Language and Localization Standards. We're an American English wiki, so we STICK with how things would be in American English. If we were a Japanese wiki it would be different, but we're not. We go by what the North American Localization Team put for everything in the Zelda games. And most are not direct crossovers from the Japanese and things are not pronounced the same in Japanese as they are in English. 20:51, September 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree, it should be ka-lay de-mos, mainly because thats how I pronounce it. GFlame 23:45, 7 October 2010 (EDT)


 * The pronunciation can't be surmised from the spelling alone, so I'm removing it. The "kayle" makes no sense anyways as the word "crevalle" is pronounced "kruh-valley" Dekler (talk) 15:13, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Etymology
"Kalle" could come from "Kale", a crop that looks a bit like the boss. Demos sounds like demon. Thoughts? Dekler (talk) 15:17, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

I don't know, but "kale" seems unlikely. "Demon" is plausible, but gut feeling says here's something else.Champion of Nayru (talk) 09:25, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
