Change in creature names

Post by Morgaln »

Hello everyone,

as some of you might have noticed already, a lot of creatures had their names changed. This was necessary to make each species name unique, which will be needed for a new feature coming up soon.

In most cases, names have just got a descriptive addition, and often one that has been in use on the forum anyway. But in some cases, we had to change the original names a bit. We didn't do this lightly and gave the new names appropriate consideration before deciding on them. I hope they will meet your approval.

If you happen across a name that doesn't fit the creature at all (as in, a unicorn being called a gryphon or something like that), we probably made a mistake. In that case, please let us know asap so we can fix it.

Thank you for listening. You may start complaining now.

If you want to find them all, we had to change a total of 96 names. These were all creatures that shared their name with another creature, although a few have retained the original name as the "basic" version of that species.
