[edit] Dzoo-noo-qua

Okay, in the article, there are a series of links to articles on various sub types of HMHVV 'victems.' Somebody needs to get in there and add a mention in each of Shadowrun if possible (I will do some of it myself). Also, in the case of the Dzoo-noo-qua, it should not be referenced there unless the non-shadowrun inspiration is there. Lets get down to it, it isn't notable enough for its own article, and it barely rates as a stub as is. Donovan Ravenhull 15:52, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Merge Is this the voting page? Where's teh voting page? I always have trouble finding the voting pages. At any rate, I've already merged the info from Dzoo-noo-qua into the HMHVV article. --Dogbreathcanada 17:50, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

When I closed the AfD a while back, the vote was a toss-up between merge and keep, so I somewhat arbitrarially picked keep. It now seems like that was the wrong choice, so I'll just go ahead and make Dzoo-noo-qua redirect here. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:58, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Formorians

Any particular reason why that entry was removed? I'm not necessarily arguing its removal, but I would like to hear some reasoning. I'll continue to reinstate until I hear some reasoning for its removal. --Dogbreathcanada 23:34, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

By the Shadowrun Players Companion, Formorians were simply a variant of the troll genotype, and not a product of HMHVV. I'm gonna dig out my Paranormal Animals of Europe to see if it is Wild Formorians that you are thinking of. Donovan Ravenhull 00:40, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

The HMHVV-II Formorians are described on p.46-7 of Paranormal Animals of Europe (1993). --Dogbreathcanada 00:51, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Ah, the problems that arrise when they use the same name for two diffent things. As that this isn't the Shadowrun Wiki itself, the difference is not worth aurguing over. Sorry if it seemed I was stepping on toes. Donovan Ravenhull 01:02, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

No no. You're not stepping on toes. I may be completely out to lunch. Are they really two completely different creatures? Been awhile since I've played SR. All the books are in boxes somewhere. I used the net to search down that reference. The only reason why I was editing this article (mainly formatting) was because I ran across a merge debate on the Dzoo-noo-qua entry. --Dogbreathcanada 01:27, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

(can we use any more collons?) Yeah, in the Shadowrun Compaignion, Formorians were there along with Giants, Night Elves and Gnomes as metahuman variants. I think somewhere that there was a comment that the Fomorian debate existed in game with guys who wanted to hunt both because one was HMHVV'd. I think I was thinking of Wild Fomorians while remembering Wild Minators. As it is, I'm not at the house where I could dig, but I'll confirm things later.
