Decker

Decker is 10 tetrated to 10 (or equivalently 10 pentated to 2), or {10,10,2} in BEAF. The term was coined by Jonathan Bowers.
Informally, the number is one followed by "one followed by "one followed by "one followed by "one followed by "one followed by "one followed by "one followed by ten billion zeroes" zeroes" zeroes" zeroes" zeroes" zeroes" zeroes" zeroes. The number's name is probably a reference to the SI prefix deca- for 10, which is itself derived ultimately from the Ancient Greek word δέκα, meaning 10.
In terms of recursion, decker is on par with the larger numbers giggol (10 tetrated to 100 = {10,100,2}) and grangol (E100#100), although decker is much smaller.
This number is also called dekalogue by Sbiis Saibian; it is E1#10 in Hyper-E notation.Sbiis Saibian's Ultimate Large Numbers List This number can also be called megafugaten using Alistair Cockburn's megafuga- prefix.
Aarex Tiaokhiao calls this number digcol, bagiol or boilsol, and is equal to s(10,2,1,2) = s(10,10,2) in strong array notation.Part 1 (LAN) - Aarex Googology (archived 2017-02-25)
Username5243 calls this number doodcol or toodol, and is equal to 10[2]10 = 10[3]2 in Username5243's Array Notation.Part 1 - My Large Numbers
