It seems half of kappas/turtles are marked as kappas, while the other half - turtles. What is best fitting name for the species anyway - kappa or turtle?

Merge[edit]
Shouldn't this page be merged with Turtle? Kreuniclus (talk) 14:40, September 6, 2013 (EDT)
- Yeah, I think it should be "turtle" since "kappa" refers to a mythical creature. Turtles in Japanese are "kame", not "kappa".
MarioTalk to-a me! 16:50, September 6, 2013 (EDT) - Well, actually, there's a difference between kappas and turtle, but since nonJapanese versions refer to kappas as turtles, kappas are the same as turtles, and thus, should probably redirect to "turtle".
