[QUOTE="Vlos, post: 1867520, member: 15447"] Ok, this sort of spawned from another thread, "Why are Pixies so large". I started a reply, but then got myself talking into the whole Biological tree if a Fae which I thought was a bit off topic, so started this topic. Then in typing of this different topic I sort of expanded beyond just Fae to think about the other creatures, Dragons, Undead, Aberations. I know D&D never goes into the full biological tree, but what is the Biological Tree for creatures and related? Can we get a general tree started? Maybe if we started with Pixie as compared to a Faerie, but then got me thinking of the terms/classifications of Seelie/Unseelie, Fae. Then try and start adding other creatures in. ? Quickling ? Brownie ? Satyr ? Elves (do they fall in here?) Even though WoTC has a classificaiton of Magical Beast, I think Fae are Magical Creatures, so I started the tree off (Kingdom) with Magical Creature which is includes both Magical Beasts and Fae. I would suppose that Dragons probably fall under here as well, but maybe not. What about Undead? Aberations? I started with the basic tree which I was going to post in the previous post and a Pixie. Not sure if its right or even close as I am not a Biology major (probably one of my worse subjects when I went to school over 20 years ago). [b]Bilogical Tree[/b] Kingdom (Magical Creature) Phylum () Class (Fae/Magical Beast/Dragon) Order () Family (Seelie/Unseelie) Genus () Species (Faerie) Kind[race] (Pixie/Quickling/Brownie) Anythoughts, or should I just do my work like I am suppose to be doing instead of browsing D&D posts? :) [/QUOTE]
