User:Sandwichman2448/Animal project

Inspired by a problem with Template_talk:Races, I plan to organize a bunch seemingly duplicate pages that are not really duplicates, but should be far more interconnected than they are. Some merges and splits will be needed. It is not just about "animals".


 * Moonkin (Druids, Darkshore)
 * Wildkin (WC3 proper, most of the RPG, Azuremyst Isle, Bloodmyst Isle)
 * Owlbear (WC3 manual, D&D ripoff)
 * Owlbeast (MG, Azuremyst Isle, Winterspring, Hinterlands)
 * Owlkin (Ammen Vale)
 * Moonkin Form (Druids)

Done
 * Larva (Critter)
 * Maggot (Critter; Borelgore called a "maggot beast")
 * Carrion grub (MG lore)
 * Carrion Worm (From this quest?; Not a mob; Redirected to Carrion grub)
 * Carrion Grub (EPL mob)
 * Carrion Devourer (EPL mob)


 * Worm (What is and is not a worm?)
 * Rock borer (MG lore)

Done
 * Burster (TBC manual lore; Other three linked from here; are they Worms?)
 * Bone worm (Bone Wastes; Have slightly different model with bones)
 * Sand worm (Ouro, WRPG lore; Main race?)
 * Dune worm (WCIII critter)


 * Basilisk
 * Crocolisk
 * Crocodile
 * Alligator
 * Diemetradon


 * Sasquatch
 * Wendigo
 * Yeti


 * Bog beast
 * Timberling
 * Thistleshrub
 * Swampwalker

Done... No?
 * Turtle (General WoW; Giant turtle, Sea turtle (creature), Dragon turtle, and Giant sea turtle under it)
 * Dragon Turtle (BT mob)
 * Dragon turtle (DF lore)
 * Dragon Turtle (Warcraft III) (WCIII unit)
 * Sea turtle (Disambig)
 * Sea turtle (creature) (MG lore; Giant sea turtle and Dragon turtle under it)
 * Giant sea turtle (DF lore; below Giant turtle; Turtle boat, Dragon turtle, and [WCII creature] under it)
 * Giant turtle (General?; Warcraft II name; Dragon turtle, Giant sea turtle, Giant turtle battle sub (and naga one), and Turtle boat under it)
 * Turtle boat (Tuskarr one; below Giant turtle)
 * Giant turtle battle sub (DF lore; below Giant turtle)
 * Riding Turtle (TCG; No idea)
 * Sea Turtle (mount) (WoW mount; below Sea turtle (creature))

Warcraft II - Giant Turtle, Giant sea Turtles, giant Sea Turtles... WTF?

Warcraft III - Sea Turtle (Under that, "Giant Sea Turtle" and "Dragon Sea Turtle")

http://classic.battle.net/war3/neutral/seaturtles.shtml#seaturtle

MG lore - Sea turtle, page 17, (Dragon turtle under it)

DF lore - Shares MG idea of ST & DT subtype. Sub is made from "giant turtle"

Gwennyth Bly'Leggonde's quests call the big ones "sea turtles". Somehow they were near Nordrassil?

So... I dunno.

 * Felhound (lore/basic WCIII name)
 * Fel Stalker (mob)
 * Felbeast (mob)
 * Felhound (Blasted Lands)
 * Felslayer (mob)
 * Felstalker (mob)


 * Silithid (no merging seem to be needed, but some of the names seem to be arbitrary or lack alternatives, lore is sparse, role/model relationship confusing... make pages for both?)
 * Silithid queen
 * Silithid pill bug
 * Silithid larva
 * Silithid colossus "silithid tank boss" model
 * Hives
 * Silithid wasp "silithid wasp"/"silithid wasp boss" models - Offensive role in MG

 * Stone keeper (Magic & Mayhem lore (titans' assistants). mentioned in the HPG. Acheras the Custodian is a stone keeper. Archaedas' model name. Stone Keeper's Shards)
 * Stone Keeper/Ancient Stone Keeper (golems)
 * Stone watcher (Magic & Mayhem lore (titans' guardians). List accurate. Again, their nature varies)
 * Stone Watcher (disambig)

 * Stone Guardian (golem)
 * Golem (regular golems, may need split between WCIII, titan (WoW), and other)
 * Stone golem (Magic & Mayhem lore, MG note, latter seems to be a description rather than a race: "Golems of stone, metal, straw, and even flesh exist")
 * Stone Golem (golem)
 * Vanir (titans, also some unknown creature opposite of the storm giants. Seems to presume things with bronze-colored 'titan' model are this)
 * Titanic watcher/titanic keeper/keeper ("watcher" and "keeper" are labels of the guys around Ulduar, possibly other things. Needs citation. May be powerful stone watchers and/or stone keepers)
 * Stone giant (all mobs with this name are the tree-colossus "wood giant". Archavon the Stone Watcher's model name. Archaedas is a "giant of stone". Fixed)
 * Stone Giant (tree giant guy)

 * Ogre mage (magic)
 * Ogre_mage (magic, two heads)

 * Thunder lizard
 * Kodo beast
 * Salamander
 * Stegodon

 * Hill dwarf
 * Mountain dwarf
 * Bronzebeard clan
 * Wildhammer clan

Day of the Dragon says the Aerie dwarves/wild dwarves/mountain dwarves(?) = Wildhammer dwarves and the Hill dwarves = Bronzebeard/Ironforge dwarves. The latter terms were not there. I dunno.

Lands of Mystery says "The dwarves split into three clans: the Bronzebeards (mountain dwarves), the Wildhammers (hill dwarves), and the Dark Irons (shadowy, wandering sorcerers)."

Falstad Wildhammer calls the dwarves of Ironforge hill dwarves when clicked on, and himself an aerie dwarf, which fits with DotD.

The magazine groups them into Dark, Mountain, and Hill, like the RPG.

The dark dwarves (despite that term never being used before or since) are clearly dark iron. So, it then comes down to assigning the remaining two terms to the remaining two clans.

Mountain has been used for the Ironforge dwarves somewhere beyond the RPG... Fervor of the Frostborn (quest), and something earlier.
