The Bestiarum Vocabulum

The Bestiarum Vocabulum is a collection of volumes from around the world by many different scholars and adventurous who have come into contact with different creatures. The Bestiarum Vocabulum was first put together from a collection of different volumes and from the personal experiences of its author; an elf by the name of Imrodel Talraid. It is now maintained and updated by the Head Logos of Animalia at Okamorth University.

The Beastiarium contains information on different beasts, including those that are living or mythical. The books are divided into editions which are updated and published each time and edition is finalised. These editions run in alphabetical order and organised into 11 categories.

The Categories

 * 1) Beasts - The collective term for non-magical creatures.
 * 2) The Cursed - Beings attributed to this class are usually created as a result of curse.
 * 3) Draconids - The term used to refer to a number of large semi-reptiles. These are not the same as dragons  as draconids are beasts ruled by instincts while dragons possess intelligence enough to converse.
 * 4) Elementa - Creatures that are elemental in nature.
 * 5) Amalgamates - Creatures that resemble multiple creatures.
 * 6) Insectoids - Insect-like monsters.
 * 7) Necrophages - Monsters that generally haunt places where dead bodies lay.
 * 8) Ogroids - Big, brutish humanoid creatures known for their brawn but not their intelligence.
 * 9) Relicts - A creature that at an earlier time was abundant in a large area but now occurs at only one or a few small areas.
 * 10) Specters - Spectral creatures that generally haunt cemeteries and crypts staying or trapped in the mortal plane.
 * 11) Vampires - Creatures that thrive on blood, which contains their victims' life force.
