Creature (concept)
Creatures, when not used as an insult, are any non-human living beings within Aeras. They are generally sorted into three categories:
Natural Creatures: Any creature seen as a natural part of the world. Normally this refers to any creatures that do not show higher capacity for thought such as dogs, fish, and horses.
Godtouched Creatures: Godtouched normally refers to any creature that shows a higher degree of intelligence or has the physiology of multiple other animals. Griffons, Dragons and even The Worldeater are or were considered Godtouched.
Mutant Creatures: Mutant Creatures are any beings that have been formed by magical Mutation either purposefully or naturally. As most of them are entirely unique from one another, they are generally not classified by species. The most unifying trait of them is their tendency to live for extremely long periods of time - possibly even forever, seemingly sustained by magic. Fogbeasts can be considered a type of Mutant Creature, though most mutants are simply referred to as Monsters.
