Godtouched Creatures (concept)
Godtouched Creatures, as defined by Magi Kalatharcicos' 'Wondrous Creatures of the World' bestiary (the commonly accepted standard for the natural sciences), are any Creatures that show heightened intelligence anywhere from near-human to post-human levels and/or has physical characteristics seemingly gained from multiple other animals. Examples of Godtouched Creatures are Griffons, Dragons and Hippogriffs. The line between Godtouched and Natural can be fairly blurry, and many newly discovered animals have their classifications hotly disputed in scientific circles.
While Mutants can show traits from multiple animals, the singularity of their existence and horrifying visage normally precludes them from this category.
