So I was browsing the guides and I go into the Neudaiz Beastiary (http://www.pso-world.com/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=2437). As I look through it, I notice this:

Gohmon

Alignment: Ice
Description: Prefers to attack from a distance using Barta. Can also engage in melee combat using its arms. It is recommended that you try to use Photon Arts that have the "silence" ability on Goomon.

Which spelling is correct?

Edit: Word choice.

As you can see, this is an early translation based on the JP version. Many English/Romanized names can be a little off.

Gohmon is correct.

Yes, it's Gohmon. Also, the enemy a lot of people call 'Goushin' is 'Goshin' in EU/US PSU. Not sure if that affects any guides, but Goshin/Gohmon are the correct spellings.

If it really is spelled Gohmon, then that means the url of the picture is also spelled wrong. But that would be kind of hard to fix a url.

As you can see, the url spells it as Goomon.

Several months ago, the name of the monster was translated as Goomon. After a sufficient amount of time passed, we learned its real name, "Gohmon". The name in the guide was updated, but the pictures were left alone in case anyone was linking to them. The outdated spelling in the description is an oversight.

I hope to start work on a new beastiary soon, so these guides should be considered to be outdated.
