Splitting the page
The fact that the summon nasties-nasties and the M2_NASTY-nasties are both called "nasties" tends to cause confusion. I'd like to split this page (which is mostly a list, anyway) into two because of that; it'd probably make sense for the list of "summoned" nasties to be on the summon nasties page, I think. The "flag" nasties could be left on this page, ideally with a note
- For "nasties" summoned by spellcasters, see summon nasties.
at the top. Alternatively, this page could be moved to M2_NASTY and nasty would be either a redirect to one of them or a disambiguation page (though people are probably more likely to search for information about summon nasties).
