Talk:Dragoon Wyvern

From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia

What do you think about a Name-explaination for the Dragoonwyvern, or the Automatons, because there are several German and Japanese names, whose meaning could be very interessting.--Haitani 13:18, 7 May 2007 (CDT)

Unfortunately, this is probably less than trivial to assemble. I can give a little bit of insight on a few of the names:

  • Soryu (souryuu, 蒼龍) -- This is the name of a Japanese WWII aircraft carrier and translates as "blue dragon" or "azure dragon". This is also apparently an alternate term for Seiryuu, the god said to rule over the eastern heavens in Chinese mythology.
  • Donryu (donryuu, 呑龍) -- This is an aircraft and is said to translate as "storm dragon" but I couldn't verify that meaning with the dictionary I use; closest thing I could come up with translated more like "consuming dragon".
  • Unryu (unryuu, 雲龍) -- Cloud dragon.
  • Toryu (toryuu, 屠龍) -- Another aircraft. Translates as "dragon slayer". The first kanji literally means slaughter, so in this case it could probably be read as a slaying dragon?
  • Mikan -- Mandarin (蜜柑). Alternatively can mean incomplete, unfinished (未完), or unpublished (未刊).
  • Pfiel -- Arrow
  • Eisenzahn -- Iron Tooth (Steel Fang)
  • Oboro (朧) -- vague, dim, or misty
  • Himmelskralle -- Sky Claw
  • Nuage -- Cloud
  • Foudre -- Lightning
  • Waffenzahn -- Doesn't seem to be a proper German word, but looks to translate to "weapon tooth"
  • Wirbelwind -- Whirlwind
  • Blutkralle -- Blood Claw
  • Bogen -- Elbow
  • Kagero (kagerou, 蜻蛉) -- Mayfly, dragonfly, or damselfly
  • Wuffi -- Apparently a common dog name in German.

    • thanks for your work on translations. :3 should be on the article. but Wuffi is more a belittling title for dogs in general, like puppy dog ie. User:juni66

When I was asking about this I thought more about something like a classical "Historical Background" thing but with a kind of "Name Explainations" topic on the site and not in the discussion-part. I also would like to translate them. By the way: "Himmelskralle" could also mean "Heaven Claw" and "Bogen" means "Bow" .... and "Wuffi" ... well it could be a dog name in German but not a common one, because it sounds really ludicrous. ;) --Haitani 17:03, 30 August 2007 (CDT)

Missing Name

The name "Vhyun" is missing from one of the lists. I'd add it myself, but I'm not sure which of the 4 lists it's on. (I believe it's on one of the Norg lists, though.) --Sετεsђ of Ғεηгіг t/c 20:14, 12 August 2007 (CDT)

This isn't missing, just mispelled. It's near the beginning of the last list. --Lunaryn 22:47, 12 August 2007 (CDT)

A Mature Wyvern?

  • Could the fact that Achtelle is able to summon Bravo, a full-on Wyvern type mob to help her in combat sort of hint at the fact that Dragoon Wyverns are, in fact, juvenile versions of the monster? (And not an entirely separate species) Note that your wyvern was just hatched during the DRG flag quest, and is considered an infant by NPCs during that quest.

So they lose their arms when they grow up? <Baby> <Wyvern> <Can I have it?> --Taruzard 23:23, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, Achtelle comes from an island to the west, where the Dragoon Tradition is alive and well (at least back in the Crystal Era) and it is highly probable that the wyverns they gain as companions there are a different species. --Blurryhunter 02:17, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
