****** Not really, no. The definition of animalistic is "in the manner of an animal; savage; untamed," which is exactly how David acted. His growling only attributed to his animal-like quality. It's not like I'm saying "let's rename it to '''animal mimicry'''" or anything like that.

| Ability Naming Conventions | |
|---|---|
| The following sources are used for determining evolved human ability names, in order: | |
| 1. Canon Sources | Episodes |
| 2. Near-canon Sources | Webisodes, Graphic Novels, iStories, Heroes Evolutions |
| 3. Secondary Sources | Episode commentary, Interviews, Heroes: Survival |
| 4. Common names for abilities | Names from other works |
| 5. Descriptions of abilities | Descriptions |
6. Possessor's name |
If no non-speculative description is possible |
Rename: Predatory instincts
I think the ability name should be changed to this because that was what it looked like to me in the webisode. - Biohazard, 1 January 2009 15:11 (GMT).
- Predatory instincts... I like that. I can't really think of a way that anything contradicts this; it seems pretty accurate. --Whizzles 10:21, 1 January 2009 (EST)
- I don't think we know enough about it to give it a name. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 12:10, 1 January 2009 (EST)
- Fair enough. Hopefully Part 4 will shed some light on this. --Whizzles 13:42, 1 January 2009 (EST)
- It reminds me of Red Eye's ability, but reversed, giving David primal rage instead of the people around him. --WeatherWitch 14:00, 1 January 2009 (EST)
- Fair enough. Hopefully Part 4 will shed some light on this. --Whizzles 13:42, 1 January 2009 (EST)
- I don't think we know enough about it to give it a name. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 12:10, 1 January 2009 (EST)
Sorry, but...
...I find the description of the ability funny. "David's ability is the ability to growl and charge at others viciously with red-colored eyes." Haha, I could do that, I'd just need some red-colored contacts. :) But I guess it is what it is. -- Mike N. 12:39, 1 January 2009 (EST)
- Yeah, I laughed too. I think we need to re-word that one. XD --Whizzles 13:42, 1 January 2009 (EST)
- Quite honestly, that's exactly what we've seen him do. We don't need to change it because nothing about it is inaccurate. Psilaq Remake 18:26, 1 January 2009 (EST)
- Growling isn't an ability. Anyone can growl. --Ricard Desi (t,c) 18:38, 1 January 2009 (EST)
- Good point. How about "David's ability is an ability that causes animalistic aggression and red-colored eyes."? Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ U | T | C ] 19:18, 1 January 2009 (EST)
- That would be jumping into conclusions. --Litox 19:31, 1 January 2009 (EST)
