Now that I made an account here, I decided to make new thread. I apologize if thereīs a thread which already have gone this matter through.
Anyways, In Splatterhouse 3, Iīve noticed that some people call the 3rd boss (Stuffed Bear Boss) as "Cannibal". Why?!
There are not even a single detail that says that that particular demon is a cannibal. I say this because David, who is in the boss room, is not even a real David, but instead, a spirit. Why people still keep saying it as Cannibal? Have I missed something or what?

Welcome to the boards!
I've never heard the Teddy Bear boss referred to cannibal before. :huh: That's an odd one since, like you said, there's no evidence to support that name. Plus, it's not even human....so if it did chow down on some poor sap it wouldn't really be cannibalism. Just a case of the munchies. :p

Whoever referred to the bear as "Cannibal" is either making stuff up or repeating the made-up stuff they heard. It's never given an official name in the U.S. release and the Japanese release is described as such:

Ma-kku-su Bear (Max Bear)
It's described as the evil spirit that had taken David's form and then possessed the stuffed animal. It'll show it's true body after it's suffered enough damage, and then attack with it's nails and by rushing. |

And here I was, calling it, "Winnie the Ghoul."

if he WAS really a teddy cannibal, he'd be a far easier boss.

Classic! In any remake, it'd be a perfect piece of dialogue for Cummings (AKA Winnie hisself) to spout.

Actually, the source listed the name as "Makkuza Bear", and apparently the "Makkuza" is for "Mac The Bear". But it's not backed up by any official source that I could see, so quintessential grain of salt all the same.
Regardless, Cannibal Teddy Bear boss is likely what the tagger thought sounded cool - which gave us the timeless Captain Mozarella.

Sorry to bump this, but I've noticed that the VGM Chiptune for Splatterhouse 3 also refers to the bear as "Cannibal", and the boss intro theme is named "Cannibal Boss Intro". Perhaps the Chiptune is the source of the Cannibal crap? Just thought I would throw that out there.
