Talk:Axolotl tank

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Spelling

Why is it spelled here "axolotl"? I have just finished reading the original six books which I believe spells it "axlotl". --WilCooley 17:11, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Nope. My 1984, 49th printing copy of Dune Messiah, in the early chapter dealing with the conspiracy (which is, I believe, the first mention of axolotl tanks), the spelling is most definitely with an 'o'. --maru (talk) contribs 18:54, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

The "o" spelling only occurs in the 1984 edition I have read, all others eliminate the "o". Also, the "best results" were NOT obtained from a Bene Gesserit as a tank--those results were disastrous! -Tleilax Master B

From Hunters of Dune: The origin of the Honored Matres lies partially in axlotl tanks which were rescued and restored from the alterations by wild reverend mothers and Fish Speakers during the Scattering. Their rather viscious and thorough annihilation of the Tleilaxu is tied to this origin.
