[QUOTE="Camarath, post: 1306936, member: 11987"] I have not seen any official word on this subject but here are my thoughts. I believe the defualt type if no type is listed is normally Humanoid. But I assume that is not correct since no Darkvision is listed and almost every other Underdark race has a Darkvision enrty other than non-Humanoids who have Darkvision as a racial trait. I think the Slyth is type should be one that gives it Darkvision. I think that the Slyth's type is probably not Outsider because the other Outsider in Underdark with no HD (the Gloomling) has an entry explaining that it is a Native Outsider. I do not think Elemental or Ooze work since the Slyth gains Immunity to Critical Hits and can not be flanked in its Alternate Form and those types have those properties innately. I think that Slyth should have the Shapechanger subtype regardless of what type you decide on because of its unlimited Alternate Form ability. So I think I would go with Aberration (Shapechanger) or Monstrous Humanoid (Shapechanger). [/QUOTE]
