Bug type: Monster / Text
Brief bug summary: Certain monsters have inconsistent names across different variants, limiting the number of options we have when it comes to farming them for the Monster Collection.
More details:
Opening a separate thread from this, since some of the mobs have been fixed:

In the spirit of fairness, I'll only make comparisons to KMS and MapleSEA (mostly KMS) when it comes to these inconsistencies. Admittedly, this is a minor issue, but it might as well be addressed. Some of the monsters in question include:
1. Pillaging Fire Boar
This one is slightly different from the rest above. This monster has two variants (Twilight Perion and Monster Park), and both monsters are incorrectly named "Pillaging Fire Boar
s" instead of "Pillaging Fire Boar".
2. Wild Kargo
Wild Kargo has a few variants (Sleepywood, Tower of Oz, and Zero's Mirror World dungeon). The Mirror World variant is named "Wild
Cargo" instead of "Wild Kargo".
3. Homun
Homun has a few variants (Magatia's Zenumist Research Institute, Romeo and Juliet Party Quest, and Zero's Mirror World dungeon). The Mirror World variant is named "Homun
s" instead of "Homun".
4. Saitie
Saitie has a few variants (Magatia's Alcadno Research Institute, Romeo and Juliet Party Quest, and Zero's Mirror World dungeon). The Romeo and Juliet Party Quest variant is named "Cyti" instead of "Saitie".
5. The Three Chronos-es (Chronos, Platoon Chronos, Master Chronos)
6. Chao
Chao has a few variants (Ellin Forest, Mu Lung Dojo, and one of Pollo's Bounty Hunter portals). The Pollo's Bounty Hunter variant is named "Tchau" instead of "Chao".
7. Rombot
Rombot has a few variants (Ludibrium's Eos Tower and Mu Lung Dojo). The Mu Lung Dojo variant is named "Romb
ad" instead of "Rombot".
8. Red Dragon Turtle
Red Dragon Turtle has a few variants (Leafre's Dragon Forest, Monster Park, and Zero's Mirror World dungeon). The Monster Park variant is named "Red Dragon Turtle
s" instead of "Red Dragon Turtle".
9. Riche
Riche has a few variants (El Nath's Dead Mine, Monster Park, Mu Lung Dojo, and the Silent Crusade Mystic Gate). The Silent Crusade Mystic Gate variant is named "Lich" instead of "Riche".
10. Giant Blackheart
Giant Blackheart has a few variants (Dimension Invasion and Zero's Mirror World dungeon). The Dimension Invasion variant is named "Giant
Darkheart" instead of "Giant Blackheart".
Note that while "Giant Darkheart" is what shows up in the Monster Collection for this mob, all other instances refer to this mob/boss as "Blackheart" (including the Blackheart pet from Hilla and the mini Blackheart mobs summoned by it. Therefore, it may be more consistent to change the name to "Blackheart" rather than "Darkheart".
11. Sun Spirit & Earth Spirit (Monster Park)
Arcana's Sun Spirit has a Monster Park variant that is incorrectly named "Sunlight Spirit" instead of "Sun Spirit".
Similarly, Arcana's Earth Spirit has a Monster Park variant that is incorrectly named "Arcana enemy" instead of "Earth Spirit".
12. Showa and Ninja Castle Monsters
I have dedicated a thread to certain maps and mobs in Showa Town
here.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Hunt any of the incorrectly-named versions of mobs for Monster Collection, or other purposes. You will be unable to add them due to MC requiring an exact monster name match, and some of the inconsistencies are just sloppy.
Character name: irrelevant
Character level: irrelevant

Opening a new thread for the rest here. Will have this thread closed.
