<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{Otheruses|the classification that corresponds to the physical and biological form of [[Creature]]s|a classification that corresponds to social organizations and common mindsets|Affiliation}}<br /> <br /> [[Creature type]] is a way of grouping creatures based on common responses to certain [[game mechanics]], notably [[Disease]], [[Miasma]], [[Edge of Extinction]], [[Charm Animal]], creature [[hunt]]s (except [[Undead Hunt]] and [[Skree Battle]]), and [[Of slaying|weapon slaying mods]] (except Charrslaying and Deathbane). It typically corresponds to the physical form of creatures, such as their taxonomy or species in lore, but there are plenty of exceptions.<br /> <br /> Each instance of a creature can only have one type, but there can be different versions — sometimes with an identical name — that have different types. For example, [[Fendi Nin]] has a different type from [[Soul of Fendi Nin|his Soul]] and [[Shiro Tagachi]] appears as both as a human and as a demon.<br /> <br /> Not every creature has a creature type. Creatures without a type spread Disease to other creatures without a type, but are unaffected by Edge of Extinction.<br /> <br /> Creatures of the same type will often share other traits, often by design rather than of something inherent in the game mechanics. For example:<br /> * Non-sentient creature types are limited to a few professions.<br /> * Some creature types share an associated skill, e.g. [[jade construct]]s and [[mursaat]] both wield [[Spectral Agony]].<br /> <br /> Some [[bounty|bounties]] target creature type, as do some [[weapon upgrade]]s of slaying.<br /> == Creature types by campaign ==<br /> {{section-stub}}<br /> Unofficial names are in italics.<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;overflow-x: auto;&quot;&gt;<br /> {| {{STDT|silver}}<br /> |-<br /> !
