Creature Taxonomy and Collectives

From Worldbox Wiki
File:Taxonomypageicon10xRight.png

Taxonomy is way of classifying units into different groups based on their characteristics. It becomes less specific as the classification moves from Species -> Kingdom. This page also includes info on collectives (or families) and name sets for different creatures.

Taxonomy List[edit]

Evolved creature families are just called "Family" instead of their pre-evovled form's special name and can be 20 members in size.
