Hmm.

How do we know the serve Zhu Hanaku? :o

It's not only the canthan guards in Kaiten who say it, every guard on Shing Jea says it. Editing.. Koen 12:49, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

There is a Greek number called Kappa. Reference perhaps or just coincidence? 89.139.114.36 14:14, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Seperate Articles[edit]

I'm a bit curious as to why we have seperate articles for all the levels of Kappa. Why are they not merged into one page, like any of the other multi-leveled creatures, for example? --User Wandering Traveler Sig2.png Wandering Traveler 23:06, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Probably because of the items dropped and the skills used. I guess the Shing Jea species could be merged, but definately not the others. WhyUser talk:Why Are We Fighting 00:13, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
Makes sense to merge the Shing Jea kappa and then (possibly) disambig the Canthan type. the Luxon can be disambiged as well. --User Wandering Traveler Sig2.png Wandering Traveler 01:43, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
They are seperate creatures in everything but name. And even that seems to be a borderline case, it seems in beta they were 'Hatchling Kappa', 'Elder Kappa' and so on. Backsword 04:00, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
Merge them into by-region then. No particularly strong preference for any option. -- ab.er.rant User Ab.er.rant Sig.png 06:26, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
They seem like the same creature to me, at different levels: they have similar name, appearance, identical pseudo-profession, same core skills w/leveling progression. In a parallel fashion, we only have one article on Mhenlo, and he has at least as many variations (NPC, Henchie, quest-giver, ally <- each of these in multiple campaigns, levels, quests; plus, Hero). It also seems to me that a well-designed combined article could be more readable than spreading data across multiple pages. Tennessee Ernie Ford 02:26, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
The Jade Sea versions use a different model. -- User Gordon Ecker sig.png Gordon Ecker (talk) 02:34, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
On top of that kaineng city kappa use a very different skill set, so I think it would be fine to merge the Shing Jea kappa into one article, and keep seperate pages for the Kaineng and Jade Sea versions. WhyUser talk:Why Are We Fighting 23:58, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Koopa Troopa?[edit]

They're turtle-like, their names are similar, they walk on two legs (well, Koopas are four or two, depending on the age of the game)... possible reference, or just a coincidence? 118.208.125.214 07:07, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

The other way around, the Koopa Troopa are a reference to Kappa.--Fighterdoken 07:09, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
