D&D 3E/3.5 Scientific names

[Dannyalcatraz]

Let’s assume all Sasquatch type critters are a bipedal Gigantopithecus/Hominim crossbreed...Gigantohominim. That would make the Batsquatch Gigantohominim Chiropter. Gigantohominim vulgaris could be used for the common Bigfoot/Sasquatch critters typical of the mythology of tha Americas, and Gigantohominim Mons would be something like a Yeti that is exclusively found in mountainous regions.

Quickling-feyus zoomus?

Feia is what we were using for fey, as I recall. Feia celerius or mercurius would work.

I’m not sure if I could make a master list as I’m not very good at such, sorry.
Gremlin-feia machanus?

Master lists are easy, but tedious. Just put the critters in alphabetical order, formatted like:

Common Name; Scientific Name

So the one you just asked about would be:

Gremlin; Feia transgressor

Mostly it will be cut & paste.

I could’ve sworn we did halflings before...

But how about:
Tallfellows: Brevisapiens celsus
Stout: Brevisapiens rotundus

Tell me more about the others.

We didn’t do these 2 subspecies, shattered ones are more evolved versions of broken ones,the shadow virus turns you into a undead shadow, the phobia virus turns you into a nervous wreck by creating new phobias in your brain, the Asgardian dragon is a planar dragon & the yellow dragons breath weapon is a line of salt(usually to the eyes)

If we did halflings before, use whatever the genus name we used the first time with the new species names. (Or use the new genus name for all.)

What was a broken one? Did we do those already?

What’s a planet dragon?

Are those viruses actually identified as microbes in your campaign? If not, just use the names they have.

Yellow dragon: Draco salarius

 

[abe ray]

That’s planar, not planet & planar dragons are dragons from another plane.
