Talk:Gravos Maunttop

Ogre?
In Slayers Try, Episode 6, Gravos refers to ogres in a manner that implies that they are much larger than he is. Also, in that same episode, Amelia refers to Gravos as a reptile. As such, are we sure that Gravos ought to be called an ogre?
 * For some reason, I had thought Gravos was another beastman, like Jillas. Are you referring to the subbed or dubbed version of Try? And does anyone know what Japanese term (if any) is used to describe him specifically? If there isn't one, we should probably call him a "troll or goblin like creature," or something like that, the way Slayers Uncensored does.

 * I've just watched TRY #9, when Valgaav is shown saving Gravos' life, and he calls him juujin, so yep, he's a beast-man. --shansito 20:34, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

I went ahead and changed his designation to "reptilian beastman", based on Shansito's comment above. Although his tail certainly has crocodilian appearance, I am hesitant to classify his species. Didymus20X6 20:42, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Let's just say "beastman". In the episode you mentioned above, they had several reptilian henchmen with them, so Amelia's line doesn't really help with clarifying the situation.--Pip25 21:07, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, it was Episode 5, not 6, and Amelia said it to counter Gravos' accusation that the Slayers were villains, on account of being friends with a Dragon. Amelia's exact speech was, "What makes you the real hero?  Dragons and lizards are both reptiles!  They're the same, aren't they?"  Also, Gravos' hind legs and tail are reptilian.  But I do concede: without some clarification on Gravos' species, it's probably best just to go with "Beastman".  Didymus20X6
