While "Vulpes" and "Ursus" are genuses, "Leopardos" is not --- if it was based on the binomial names, it would be "Panthera" or "Pardus". As made clear by its cobra emblem, the Anguis union is clearly named after the Latin word, not the modern binomial nomenclature. It's following the same naming patterns as Lux and the Foreteller names, being taken from simple Latin words.{{SUBST:KrytenKoroSig}} 04:45, April 14, 2016 (UTC)
This is true. Still, the striking blue color of A. fragilis seemed interesting enough to warrant a 'trivia' note. And obviously all of the names could not refer strictly to binomial nomenclature, as there are no unicorns (save for the Rhinoceros unicornis, which is notably not a horned horse, but, well, a rhino, lol).

- The shade of blue being used seems way closer to that of a white cobra, in my eyes...still, even if the Anguis lizard is being mentioned, the note shouldn't claim that "Anguis refers to a genus of lizard". I would word it as something like "While 'Anguis' is the Latin word for 'snake', it is also the name of a genus of legless lizards..." Because the emblem makes it clear SE meant the Latin word anguis, or "snake". It's an interesting note, yes, but it shouldn't take precedence over the primary meaning.{{SUBST:KrytenKoroSig}} 14:23, April 14, 2016 (UTC)

Should this change to Vulpes with "Vulpeus" redirecting to the page?
