Here comes the silliest question of the month.
Is "Allo Ver", the enemy, or rather its name specifically, a pun on "Aloe vera"? I mean it's obviously already a pun on "all over". But based on the way I pronounce it I end up saying it like "Aloe vera" minus the last a. Given that it's a skeletal undead enemy and not a plant, my guess is probably not. -------------------- current games (2024-02-19): Fairy Fencer F ADF Pokémon Perfect Crystal finished so far this year: Gato Roboto drowning, drowning New Super Mario Bros.

I would agree, with Death Warden being it's official name and all. I do pronounce it the same way as you though. This post has been edited by Cefca on 11th August 2018 20:24 |

Wow. I have never thought about it like that before.
I also just pronounced it as "Aloe Vera" minus the a, but now I see how All Over would work AND make more sense. -------------------- I had an old signature. Now I've changed it. |

I'm pretty sure I noticed the "intended" name as early as my first playthrough when the game was new. But like you and others in this thread, I've always pronounced it this way too. -------------------- "To create something great, you need the means to make a lot of really bad crap." - Kevin Kelly Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN? |

I'll be honest, I noticed the intended pun ("all over") only after a while, because for a long time it didn't register due to having a very different sound. -------------------- current games (2024-02-19): Fairy Fencer F ADF Pokémon Perfect Crystal finished so far this year: Gato Roboto drowning, drowning New Super Mario Bros.

Ted Woolsey likes to mess with our heads, lol.
