CREATURES....
Now, you all should now, assuming you read the rules / suggestions, that you can be any type of creature as your character in Fate of Moorj. However, just in case you a) Didn't read the suggestions as you should have b) The implications haven't quite sunk in yet or C) Have an underactive imagination, which I'm sure is not the case, I have devised a list of fantasy genre creatures you could use. Granted I wont have everything, not because you can't be it, but because there are so many, so do alert me to things I've left out. Also if you are unclear on any, ask me. I have tried to clear up confusion on the right, though most likely have created more, if you have a difference of opinion, I'm sorry, if you have a better way of expressing something, I'd love to hear it.
I have now also added dictionary definitions. I am unhappy with most as they often describe one things by using the name of another, however I recognise the difficulties presented with the people writing the dictionary. Also, I must note, that this dictionary is quite old, about fifty years! This is because my newer dictionary was not in the house at the time, I plan on getting the definitions from that one also, and comparing them. The Dictionary used was "The Concise Oxford Dictionary, 4th Edition, printed in 1951." So thankyou to that. Also thankyou to the person who gave me the "Banshee" and "Wraith" to add.

A Goblin is similar to an Imp, but with more sinister features whilst a Troll is larger and more muscly.
A Giant is a big human, an Ogre similar to a big Goblin and a Cyclops has only one eye.
Witches tend to use potions and spells for their magic whilst wizards manipulate magics from inside themselves or lines of magic that criss-cross the earth. Magicians do not use magic, rather tricks.
Dwarves are small humans. Elves have finer features than humans and "spock-like ears"! Gnomes are those little stocky folk that live in your garden whilst Imps are slimmer and more fiendish.
The difference between pixies and faeries is not physical. Pixies are more impish in nature, and usually less decorated. Faeries are generally shyer and a slightly larger conscience.
