Forum:Creature types on lore characters

I sometimes see the "|creature=Humanoid" in the infoboxes of characters not found within World of Warcraft. Sometimes lore characters, or from other games like Warcraft III. While characters like Alpin would surely fit the label (Humanoid), should this not be strictly for characters having appeared in World of Warcraft? --PeterWind (talk) 12:42, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Humanoid is more on the lines of humanly qualities creatures, like standing on two legs,having two arms(Tol'vir) or having some form of intelligence(Murloc build their houses). For exemple, a Wendigo is a humanoid while a wolf is not.(Shammiesgun (talk) 13:16, 5 September 2015 (UTC))
 * Yes, but the creature type doesn't always mean their qualities and could just be completely random. Its main purpose is for how they're classified in the World of Warcraft on an individual level. Like how oozes can be unclassified, elemental, aberration, undead, and all of the above. Using the creature parameter on lore characters (which do not appear in WoW) does not really matter. If you don't use the creature type its fine, but if you do use the creature type it is also fine. 17:59, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Ah alright, thanks for clearing that up. PeterWind (talk) 18:23, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
