Talk:Dokugumon

Stinger Poration
Can anyone make sense of this attack? My only guess is that it's a pun on "sting operation", but I'm not sure. THB  → Talk ← 12:00, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Basically, making pores. Dokugumon sting's so much that the person has more pores. 16:06, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Should we mention the pun, though? 06:57, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

Ushi-oni
Someone has suggested that Dokugumon (and by extension Arukenimon)'s horns are based the Ushi-oni: see here Anyone think that this might be the case? Chimera-gui (talk) 05:17, March 28, 2016 (UTC)
 * Sounds plausible. 13:40, March 28, 2016 (UTC)
 * Its hair also reminds me of the depiction of a Tsuchigumo. Chimera-gui (talk) 00:25, October 11, 2017 (UTC)

Name Source?
The kanji that the name is based on actually translate to "Poison spider" in Japanese and "Tarantula" in Chinese, which makes more sense given that the species' design bares a closer resemblance to a tarantula than a wolf spider. Is there any source for the Wolf Spider claim? Chimera-gui (talk) 04:22, April 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 毒蜘蛛 【どくぐも】 (n) (1) poisonous spider; venomous spider; (2) (obs) (See 子守蜘蛛) wolf spider [Edit][ViewDB][FreqCnt][L][G][GI][S][A]
 * What's the source for that quote? About the only trait that relates to wolf spiders is that Dokugumon keeps its offspring around and wolf spiders are very maternal. Its design however has a large abdomen and thick legs more in line with a tarantula or at the very least the tarantula-like . Chimera-gui (talk) 23:50, October 10, 2017 (UTC)
 * That's from WWWJDIC. 18:18, October 13, 2017 (UTC)
 * Ah okay, would it apply to the ground wolf spider as well since it's the closest to Dokugamon in terms of appearance? Chimera-gui (talk) 18:28, October 13, 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't know that there's a Japanese name for it, but I suppose so. I don't see the harm in mentioning that its design takes cues from more than one type of spider. Poss. could mention that dokugumo is more commonly used for venomous spiders in general (and that wolf spiders are more commonly called komorigumo, or mothering spiders). 19:08, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
