  • In Goddramon's profile, Amon and Umon are described as small dragon Digimon, not as Small Dragon Digimon—it does not use "-gata" after the bit. Is this the only source for their type?
  • Monodramon is translated as "Mini Dragon" on the cards. Is it called "Small Dragon" in the anime? Also, do we want to use "Mini Dragon" as the general translation, since it's a synonym? (FYI, Veemon is just translated as "Dragon").Now activating Project: SPIDERS EVERYWHERE 14:44, July 18, 2010 (UTC)
The Profile uses Small-type Dragon Digimon, doesn't it? Um, the Dawn/Dusk profile calls it "Dragon Digimon" but the Japanese bio doesn't use gata either. I think that's about it.
Er, no, Monodramon doesn't have a Tamers profile as far as I'm aware, so I'm fine with using Mini Dragon. Lanate (talk) 22:08, July 18, 2010 (UTC)
In Goddramon's profile, it uses "小型龍デジモン" ( Kogata tatsu Dejimon?, lit. "tiny dragon Digimon") rather than "小龍型デジモン" ( Shouryuu-gata Dejimon?, lit. "Small Dragon-type Digimon"). When -gata is used after "small" or "big", like in Cannonbeemon's profile, it doesn't have the "type" implication, and just means "tiny" or "giant".
I mean, we could say that they are Dragon Digimon, since it has 龍 right before "Digimon", but it still doesn't have the traditional -gata suffix.Now activating Project: SPIDERS EVERYWHERE 23:30, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Pictures[]

As much as a I hate how they implemented it, I think that pictures might be nice for the type and possibly family categories. Do we want to add a gallery to the page?Now activating Project: SPIDERS EVERYWHERE 13:51, September 30, 2011 (UTC)

Small Dragon[]

Shoutmon explicitly uses "Small Dragon" as of DFu01. Considering that "Mini Dragon" only ever appeared on two cards (and Veemon just used "Dragon"), do we want to use "Small Dragon" as the default translation and note "Mini Dragon" as a type specific to Monodramon?Now activating Project: SPIDERS EVERYWHERE 03:19, September 9, 2013 (UTC)

To further complicate matters, the Fusion website uses "Mini-Dragon" in Shoutmon's profile. Anime... PAAWAA!!! 16:05, September 14, 2013 (UTC)
Bump. Can we convert to "Small Dragon" as the translation for koryugata, and note "Mini Dragon" where used? Do we want to go through any kind of "type merging", or...not sure here.Now activating Project: SPIDERS EVERYWHERE 15:30, April 7, 2014 (UTC)
For what it's worth, I thought we usually considered cards to trump anime in terms of type names, as they're often less variable. Lanate (talk) 17:18, April 7, 2014 (UTC)
I was slightly confused because of Bulucomon. I've put him to "Mini Dragon", to match Shoutmon, Gumdramon, Hackmon and the others with 小竜型 but small seems like the more correct choice.Marcusbwfc (talk) 23:20, November 24, 2018 (UTC)
For what it's worth, both the current card game and the Encyclopedia use "Mini Dragon". Chimera-gui (talk) 01:33, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
