So, as far as I can tell, the only reason a certain series of Easter eggs are called "[[Cowardly Grunt]]", "[[Final Grunt]]", etc. is that there was a "Food-Nipple Grunt" (currently "[[Thirsty Grunt]]") before the word "Unggoy" was known with the release of ''Halo 2''. Now that we have accepted the standard of referring to them as "Unggoy", is there any good reason not to move these articles to "Cowardly Unggoy", etc.? --<b>[[User:Dragonclaws|<font color="#800080">Dragon<font color="#DE397E">c</font>laws</font>]]^{([[User talk:Dragonclaws|<font color="#6600D8">talk</font>]])}</b> 14:50, 6 September 2012 (EDT)

:There was a discussion or two about this a while ago and I think it was decided that in-universe terminology should only be used in articles written from an in-universe perspective. It's even [[Halopedia:Manual of Style#Perspectives in articles|included in the Manual of Style]]. This is mostly because first, the common names are more accessible to general audiences (i.e. not fiction buffs) who might look up information on Easter eggs and the like. Second, there is a point to be made that using formal in-universe terms in inherently silly and absurd topics like the various Grunt easter eggs creates an awkward juxtaposition between the subject matter and the language, and may at worst come across as a tad pretentious. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 15:08, 6 September 2012 (EDT)
