Feminine?

Mismagius doesn't really look very feminine to me. Not like Misdreavus does. Wouldn't that piece of trivia be more accurate in the Misdreavus article? Buddy Christ

Not entirely; while it may not look feminine to you, it certainly does to others. It's like saying Honchrow isn't overtly masculine despite being based on a mafia godfather. I'm not here to start a petty edit-war (too late), I just think it's appropriate for the trivia section. Fossilgojira 15:34, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
Opinionated. Gardevoir is an exception. It most certainly DOES look like a woman, but Mismagius can go either way.[[User:Totodilesentret|<font color="blue">Totodile</font><font color="brown">sentret!</font>]]<sup>[[User Talk:Totodilesentret|<font color="gold">Talk to me.</font>]] 15:36, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
What is above me is also an opinion, and Gardevoir can be seen as a masculine creature if the beholder wishes. My entire point is that this IS trivial, just a little quirk that's worth mentioning, especially now considering the circumstances. Fossilgojira 15:45, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
Just for the record, there is a proper term for a male witch. They're typically called "warlocks". --Shiningpikablu252 17:04, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Miasma

Miasma is a fictional poisonous gas, mentioned in popular video games like Final Fantasy and Dwarf Fortress. Am I the only one who sees the name of Mismagius as a play on Miasma? - unsigned comment from Zzzdude (talkcontribs)

Yep. Sign your posts next time. — THE TROM — 08:09, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
