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}}

Well, I think it is the number of attacks it takes to defeat them. Look at Mr. Patch, his patches take one grenade egg to deal damage. (Ok I might be overstating it back there but still, what we need is the maximum number of attacks it takes to defeat one enemy.) I think the attack that does the least amount of damage (Claw Swipe, Peck ect:) should be our guide. Lets say it takes 5 claw swipes to defeat mr punchy. Then we would say that he has 5 hit points. (Put it like Banjo's health, some things do more damage, but most attacks just take one health.) [[User:Learner4|Learner4]] 15:06, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

That way, the enemies that we can't easily reach can have their health determined. [[User:Learner4|Learner4]] 15:06, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
