Talk:Thranduil's elk

Naming convention
There's a question as to what to call this beast. It's been suggested that we call it an Elven elk. I suggest we call it an Emyn Duir elk. It's true that we aren't sure whether the elk did come from those mountains, but since it's non-canon that's not an issue. The point is, Northern Mirkwood is the only place it's ever been seen (in the non-canon The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey), so there's no reason not to use that as a logical name. Or, in keeping with the LOTR:Current polices convention of preferably using English, we could rename the page to Elven elk. Either is preferable to Megaloceros, in my opinion. - Gradivus, 15:57, December 25, 2013 (UTC)
