Bug type: Monster / Text

Brief bug summary: Certain monsters have inconsistent names across different variants. In most cases, this limits the number of options we have when it comes to farming them for the Monster Collection. In others, they are simply typos that might as well be addressed.

More details:
Opening a new, 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
Spoiler
latest?cb=20130216150718
This one is slightly different from the rest below. This monster has two variants (Twilight Perion and Monster Park), and both monsters are incorrectly named "Pillaging Fire Boars" instead of "Pillaging Fire Boar".

2. Chao
Spoiler
latest?cb=20111022103838
Chao has a few variants (Ellin Forest, Mu Lung Dojo, and one of Pollo's Bounty Hunter portals). One variant I forgot to report was the Mu Lung Dojo variant, which is incorrectly named "Charger" instead of "Chao". Previously I reported one variant being incorrectly named "Tchau" instead of "Chao", but that has been fixed.

3. Earth Spirit (Monster Park)
Spoiler
latest?cb=20170203021226
Arcana's Earth Spirit has a Monster Park variant that is incorrectly named "Arcana enemy" instead of "Earth Spirit".

4. Oblivion Guardian
Spoiler
latest?cb=20100816103058
Oblivion Guardian has a few variants (Temple of Time, Monster Park, Mirror World, and the now-defunct Kritias Invasion). The Monster Park, Mirror World, and Kritias Invasion variants are all incorrectly named "Oblivion Guard" instead of "Oblivion Guardian".

5. Gigantic Spirit Viking
Spoiler
latest?cb=20080126025857
Gigantic Spirit Viking has a few variants (Ludibrium and Mirror World). The Mirror World variant is incorrectly named "Giagantic Spirit Viking" instead of "Gigantic Spirit Viking".

6. Tree Lord
Spoiler
latest?cb=20100809114025
Tree Lord has a few variants (Ellin Forest and Monster Park), and both variants are incorrectly named "Tree Rod", when the correct name would be "Tree Lord".

7. Poisoned Tree Lord
Spoiler
latest?cb=20110814064128
Poisoned Tree Lord has two variants in the Forest of Poison Haze Party Quest. The first variant, which appears in the Mouth of the Forest map, is incorrectly named "Poisoned Lord Tree" instead of "Poisoned Tree Lord".

The variant summoned by the Poison Golem boss is incorrectly named "Poison Golem Level 2", when it should be named "Deeply Poisoned Tree Lord".

8. Poison Golem's summons
Spoiler
latest?cb=20110814064133

Similarly, the mob "Poisoned Stone Bug" has two variants. The first variant, which appears in the Deteriorated Forest map, is correctly named. However, the variant summoned by the Poison Golem boss is incorrectly named "Poison Golem Level 3", when it should be named "Deeply Poisoned Stone Bug".

9. Chaos Cuzco
Spoiler
latest?cb=20080126055518
Cuzco, one of Zakum's summons, has a few variants (Easy, Normal, and Chaos). The Chaos mode variant is incorrectly named "Chaos Cusko" instead of "Chaos Cuzco".

10. 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

Character job: irrelevant

World name: Bera (applies to any world though)

Date and time of the incident: March 18, 2022 at 5:00 PM EST (but these issues have existed for years)
