This page gives access to all the wonderful creature information we have. Ok, so there isn't so much yet, but give us time! ^_^
This is a page for supernatural beings that are not Exalted, DragonKings, GodBlooded (or other -Bloodeds) -- basically, it's a page of supernatural beings for which we do not have character generation rules. It also has fan-made creatures that don't fit any of the existing categories. Natural (i.e. unmagical) beings do not go here; see NaturalWondersOfCreation for those.

Comments
Any thoughts on BestPractices for the Creatures section? I have a new type of small god to add, and I figure that this might be a good time to start refactoring Creatures. - Quendalon
Well, I already split off CelestialBureaucracy and SmallGods. Things which have yet to be moved, and should be, are HeirsOfSeaAndFire (which might be wanting a less obtuse name, too, or maybe just a less obtuse alias pointing to it), PanoplyOfDragons, TaxonomyOfMadness... basically any large category of creatures. It might be advisable to start a CreationWildlife page which indexes all the natural animal- and plant-type creatures. _Ikselam
- Cool. Somehow it didn't occur to me that those communal-project headers could also double as paths for individual creature pages. Hmm... I don't see anything under SmallGods, and might it not be best to simply put gods under CelestialBureaucracy and SpiritCourts, depending on whether they're celestial or terrestrial gods? - Quendalon
My mistake; by SmallGods, I meant SpiritCourts. SmallGods could be the place to put individual elementals and non-Celestial gods. Or not, depending. _Ikselam
Broke off A Taxonomy of Madness to it's own page. Now working on the inhabitants... -- JesseLowe
Did a bit of reorganizing, since some unused categories were cluttering up the more useful ones. Weeding, if you will. --UncleChu
More reorganizing, still in progress.
