From what I've seen, most base them on Forward Rolls, except for the ones that can only be defeated by Eggs, which are based on Eggs. So the bottom line is that Eggs are more correct, but Forward Rolls are more recognized by the average gamer (in other words, the average gamer defines hitpoints as the amount of Forward Rolls it takes to defeat something).

This has been discussed, but it is still kind of up in the air. Eggs, claw swipes, and rolls are all very low-damage attacks, but unfortunately the weakest attack, that being eggs, don't do just ''one'' damage. It's a problem, since while one enemy might take two eggs or two swipes to kill, another enemy might take two eggs or only ''one'' swipe. I think Toomai is expecting me to start recording how many eggs, swipes, and rolls each enemy from B-K and B-T, but I'm a bit embarrassed to admit, I haven't actually started. About the HP on the articles, ever since er realized damage and HP was more complex than we thought at first, I've been really hesitant to give enemies HP values (and in fact, haven't been), but I haven't been the only one writing articles and creating infoboxes. So yeah, all the enemy HP values (except those for bosses, of course) and pretty much useless. {{User:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}
