Message: <blockquote data-quote="Marandahir" data-source="post: 8041810" data-attributes="member: 6803643">The creature type debate is why 5e's singular types were a mistake. 4e had both creature origin and creature type, plus subtypes like Goblinoid, Orc, Deity, Aquatic, etc. So in 5e terms, rather than 4e ones (which I know, would be different):<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Orcus is an Abyssal Undead (Deity)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Juiblex is an Abyssal Ooze</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Bahamut is a Celestial Dragon (Deity)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Half-Dragons are Natural Dragons, unless they're half planar dragons, in which case their planar origin replaces natural. Humanoid is lost because Dragon takes precedence in this instance.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Dryad is a Fey Plant</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Fomorian is a Fey Giant</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Merrow is a Natural Giant (Aquatic), assuming you're talking about the underseas giant from FR.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Merrow is an Elemental Monstrosity (Aquatic), assuming you're talking about the monstrous merfolk from the Plane of Water.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Grick is an Aberrant Monstrosity.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Will'-o'wisp is a Fey Undead. Yes it was an Aberration in 3e and a Magical Beast in 4e, but both were mistakes, imho.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Akheg is a Natural Monstrosity. Beast is reserved for non-magical or non-monstrous animals.</li> </ul></blockquote>
