Also I'm still confused as to why we have Cannonbolt, Wildvine, and Water Hazard anyways and not Wildmutt, Ghostfreak, and Ripjaws. I mean if Diamondhead were replaced with Cannonbolt like initially intended it would be understandable at least but this is just wot. Water Hazard is especially a left field decision. You can choose to call him Water Hazard, but not everyone is going to contradict surface-level canon because they disagree with it, and not everyone is even going to care.

They probably thought the wrecking ball, plant powered guy, and water manipulator were higher on the thematic hierarchy than the monster dog, ghost, and monster fish.
