I'm aware that plurals often have to be inferred in Japanese. I think that is why reference to the desert region were normally translated as "deserts" until it was clear that most of the references dealt with a single gigantic desert where the kingdoms of the pharaohs once existed.

Anyway, I'll see about getting more official info so feel free to wait before considering changes, but based on the existing translation I can relate the following from World Guide 2:

"In the mamono realms there live ominous vine-shaped plants called 'tentacle plants.' The devilish forests where these plants grow en masse are called 'tentacle forests.'"

Note it doesn't specify the Royal Mamono Realm. After this most of the lines that on the wiki have been written to talk about a single forest, in Brolen's translation refers to multiple forests (except of course the story about the original forest).

It may be worth noting too that the info on varieties of mamono realms in an earlier section of world guide 2 does not make any mention of the tentacle forest even when describing the Royal realm. Instead it just says the scenery of the Royal realm is similar to other dark realms.
