What does "Limited (1)" mean? (in the "Breeding" column, beside "No" in some creatures)

Some creatures can only breed a limited number of times. The Arkai, for instance, are only able to breed once. The breeding only counts if it produces an egg.

You forgot one really important thing for donation creatures...the shard value for when they were in the donation shop.There's no info of that on their creature page at all and that would be very useful and helpful information. So I'd love to see a filter or a column for doni's shard values somewhere for a very easy and fast at a glance look down the list. (aka example Painted Hinds cost 2 shards...etc)

This information is not included, because it's not readily available. I'd need to manually enter the information for all past donis.

On a few oldest donis I've entered their appearance month and shard value so that it can be seen on individual creature pages, but this data cannot easily be used on the list view. :orly:

I'm apologize in advance for being a nut but is there any way we can find out what Type the creature is?
As in, is it reptilian based, avian, mammal, etc... Or even if it's Completely a work of fiction/lore and has No basic kingdom (in scientific terms) to go by...
Some of the creatures are pretty straight forward (anything spider-ish based is obviously Arachnid) but some are kind of out there (yes, I'm looking at you Serendin, ya shifty lil squirt!). And for sorting purposes, I wondered if there was a way to find out definitively what a creature is.
I figured a question like this likely should be brought up here.
<3 Thank you! <3

I usually look to the art and descriptions for help things like that(something fured is probably more likely to be a mammal than it is a reptile). The Serendins uh, apparently even in MS canon we don't know xD

From the adult description-
The question whether serendins are reptiles or mammals is a hotly debated topic in the scientific community of the keep. Reptilists never fail to mention the lack of the name-giving mammary glands, while mammalists usually point out that serendins are warm to the touch even during the most chilly weather. Proponents on either side feel strongly about the matter and debates between “Crawlies” and “Furries,” as the two sides have been nicknamed by those who take the matter less seriously, often have been broken up before they turn to physical violence.
I think it'll be up to you, unless they get their own tab xD
I was going to say 'semi aquatic mammals' just by looking at them but, eh.

I like the Bestiary but I still prefer to use the wiki page.
I sometimes need to look at images - more than one at a time - and the list there is helpful, as we don't have to click each creature to see its image.
It would be kind of useful if we could do that in the bestiary as well. Or we can and I don't know about it?
