OoS/A - A Call for Strategy Guides!

Ladies and gentlemen, Z.U. NEEDS YOU!

I'm on staff here and am currently rewriting the entirety of both sections for Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages on the main site. If you'll notice, there is no mini-boss section over there, and I'd like to change that. However, I would really like to use the official names of the mini-bosses, since the only guide that I have (the one from Nintendo Power) doesn't name most of them.

So here's what I'm asking. Does anyone here have any of these three guides for the Oracle games?
- Prima
- Brady Games
- Versus

If you have any one of those three guides, what I want to know is this: 1.) Are the mini-bosses named? And 2.) Is there a full bestiary (list of enemies with names and descriptions)?

If so, please either post here or (better yet) PM me! I thank you, and your website thanks you.

Awesome, thanks Daemon. Which guide did you get that from, if you don't mind me asking? And was there a bestiary of all the common enemies in there too? (I ask because even though ZU currently has an enemy list for OoS/A, I don't know if all those names are official.)

I didn't really get them from a guide, I merely searched the names of them in several walkthoughs and a certain wiki. The Poe Sisters from OoS may also be simply called Poes, as I've seen that name used much more for them, it seems they could've been confused for their OoT counterparts.

About the OoA enemies: The "Shrouded Stalfos" is to be called "Stalfos Knight", "Blade Trap" should be just "Trap" and some of the monster sprites appear to be missing.

I have the official Nintendo guide but it doesn't name all of the minibosses. Some of them say something like "Catch a Syger by the tail...", "Veer from Vire's blue shots..." et al.

On the enemy list of Oracle Seasons, I have a few corrections:

The one that is called "Tail" on the list is generally called "Moldorm". *
The one that is called "Trap" on the list is generally called "Blade Trap".
The one that is called "Spinning Trap" on the list is generally called "Chaser".
The one that is called "Armos Knight" on the list could be simplified as "Armos", since the games lack a bigger version of them (or so I believe).

* In the Japanese version, they are called "Tails".

Daemonius, the "Shrouded Stalfos" name is correct - in the 2D games, "Stalfos" refer to general jumping skeletons, and "Stalfos Knights" are bigger versions of them, and wear swords and shields, but not clothing. I believe so, at least.

Thanks for your help so far everyone!

@GA: What's your source for those names, if I might ask?

Chaser - Zelda Wiki.org
For Chaser.
Blade Trap - Zelda Wiki.org
For Blade Trap.
Moldorm - Zelda Wiki.org
For Moldorm. They don't notice the small forms of the Moldorm of either the ALttP one or the LA one (whose small form is the same as those in OoX), but the similarity is clear.

If Zelda Wiki counts as a source.

There is some mess about Moldorm's name, though. In Japan, those I call Moldorm are called Tails, and these are called Moldorms.

EDIT: Daemonius is correct about the Shrouded Stalfos. I mixed up Stalfos Knights with Stalfos Warriors.
