Talk:Bestiary

For the record, regardless whether the article is wiped or deleted for license violation reasons, I want the term "bestiary" gone, for the same reason I wanted "BeastInfo" renamed. "Beast" is a horrible and derogative term to refer to intelligent creatures and human(oid) NPCs. Better call the article "List of creatures" or "List of species". --Tetris L 06:35, 9 February 2007 (PST)
 * Tetris, I don't think the word is quite translating correctly for you, it doesn't really have anything to do with beasts. From Webster:
 * 1 : a medieval allegorical or moralizing work on the appearance and habits of real or imaginary animals
 * 2 a : a collection of descriptions or representations of real or imaginary animals b : an array of real humans or literary characters often having symbolic significance
 * Notice especially 2b, bestiary can have to do with humans and no one need be offended by it. :)  Bestiary is a relatively common term in game literature for this sort of thing.  --Rainith 19:49, 9 February 2007 (PST)
 * Oops, forgot to mention, notice that the word "beast" does not appear in the word "bestiary." --Rainith 19:51, 9 February 2007 (PST)

Bestiary
As each mission article contains an NPC's list and the individual creatures are in turn linked to it's basic information -- information which would usually be contained in what would generally be regarded as a Bestiary -- perhaps the question is largely academic. But within that information, major weakness(es) are conspicuously absent. I suggest it would be very helpful to both new and old players alike if that catagory of information is added to what is already existing. Ruzor 15:52, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
