Honestly, I think it's less weird now. Instead of having one "right" version, it's just that there's a bunch of things that we can choose to represent with our monsters, and there are different monsters to represent those things. And the original monster used to represent those things aren't called "archetypal," they just are what they are: the first monster used to represent those things.

It'd be nice if we got rid of the term "version" too, to simplify things further, but as a fairly new member of the community I don't want to go around messing with things. Especially since there are probably unforseen consequences of doing something because you typed it up on your PC in a few minutes.
