Talk:Doomguard

The Doomguard is a pet available to the Warlock at level 60 after completing a series of quests. (Not sure about the quests being needed. --- Fandyllic)

Lore vs lock pet (split)

First, this is a wonderfully put together article, and I thank everyone who has contributed. However, I'm thinking that perhaps this page, and the other lock pet pages ought to be split up into a lore article, and a lock pet article. My reasoning is that there is so much lore information on these pages that it's hard to find the little bit of information on warlock pets. I think there is plenty of information on both areas that it would be easier to find what the user is looking for if there were two articles. -- User:DuTempete/Signature 17:59, 29 March 2007 (EDT)

Yep. I almost missed the lock pet info here when I was looking for it awhile back. User:Fizzwidget/Signature 02:20, 6 April 2007 (EDT)

I moved the info to Doomguard (Warlock pet); unsurprisingly, there is a large amount of duplicate info. If someone would like to clean that up, be my guest. I'll get around to the other pets some other time of the week.--User:Sky2042/Sig 02:49, 6 April 2007 (EDT)

classification issues

I'm a little confused by the classification used on this page. Are the Doomguard a race, or is it just a title? And since it's mentioned on this page, are Ered'ruin a race or a species?

Normally, I would have considered the Doomguard a race, but the fiend article refers to the word as a title. Fiends and Doomguard are clearly not the same race as they have reliable distinguishing characteristics. I would guess that it's possible for the word to refer to both a race, and a title. If that's the case, should the fiend mob listed here be taken off?

Also, I think if we're going to get this detailed, perhaps we should think more about what would be the biological classification. Is ered'ruin a species, or a genus? Then you've got winged demons, void demons, lizard-like demons, etc, which would perhaps be the family. Demons would be the Order.

Someone may want to look at Wikipedia for help deciding what's what. --DuTempete talk|contr 17:11, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

There is some problems here caused by the way blizzard uses the terms. In game we have only one reference to "Ered'ruin" from the holograms. It says its a "species". Now the term doomguard used to be used for only one specific type of creatures, seen since Warcraft III. However the term shows up being used at least once for a creature called fiends or terrorfiends in World of Warcraft as well. So it appears to be more of a "rank" than actual species name in the Burning Legion's hierarchy.Baggins 07:57, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
