Ages ago I wrote down all the classification in MGE and came to the conclusion that the whole system is… putting it lightly: shit. Back then I thought a little how to fix it but didn't came up with any decent system. Now I think I have a better shot. Since I'm kinda like the scientists before Darwin, I can only classify monsters based on gut feeling and physical similarities, because a detailed history of all monsters isn't described anywhere. Though KC probably thought about the "science" even less than I did. Regardless, here's what I came up with First category: Heavenly Earthly Within Heavenly there's: Holy (all the good angels and alike) and Fallen (all demon, imps, etc). I'm going with "all demons are just fallen angels" approach. Though you can also interpret it as demons being just creatures on the same level as angels. Within Earthly there's >Magical -Elemental (Gnome, Undine, etc) -Enchanted/cursed (Cursed Sword, Doll) –Undead >Non-magical -pure –land creatures –sea creatures –air creatures -hybrids (Manticore, Griffon) –land creatures –sea creatures –air creatures So for example Zombie would be Earthly -Magical –Cursed —Undead Harpy would be Earthly -Non-magical –Pure —Air creature Demon would be Heavenly -Fallen I'm planning to add more detailed categories later (like limb count, whether they have fur, feathers or bare skin, etc), but first I want some feedback on those most fundamental categories. Is there any monster that clearly doesn't fit anywhere and breaks the system? Are there ambiguous monsters? Do you have better ideas for categories?
