    Spelling Inconsistency: Olipha[u]nt

    • Oliphaunt's Ear (Furnishing)
    • Towering Oliphant (Dusk Vigil boss)

    Is one or the other standardized?
    I'd imagine the latter, considering the other languages didn't take the text flavor the extra step from Alocasia to Elephant's Ear?

    I'm starting to wonder if someone on the team just likes adding extra 'u's to things. If I recall correctly, the patch notes concerning the portrait and minion of
    Haurchefant mistakenly rendered his name as Haurchefaunt.

    Honestly, though, who wouldn't pay to see
    an Haurchephaunt? That's almost as funny as the Horsechefant (Ixion conspiracy theories).

    I would pay plenty, and never need another mount again.

    The furnishing is the erroneously spelled one, and it should be revised with 3.2. Cheers!

    Well, to be fair, Tolkien spelled it as Oliphaunt. I would say that should be the correct spelling, but seems SE just tweaked the spelling to pay homage and not just copy+pasted it.

    I guess they are afflicted with the same disease that makes people write "Bloodbourne" as well.
    (Seriously! At least half the times I've seen it written, it has been with that u there)
