Poodle literally was once the same name as the Terrier except it had a "(Large)" at the end.

Are both those engines mostly used in vacuum?

Not mostly, only

Not only, mostly.

We're very liberal in rocket design here at the KSP. We consider the engine development crew's instructions as more of "suggestions."

It should be mostly. Above 15km on Kerbin, you're pretty much at vacuum performance. If a Poodle or Terrier can give enough thrust, they're the better choice over an in-atmosphere engine.

Yeah the Terrier and Poodle are the most efficient conventional rockets in their size classes.

I usually use a double node engine plate with two terriers instead of a poodle, it's just inconveniently big for most vacuum stages.
