Creature Compendium
There are three types of creatures; animals, monsters, and beings. Animals are creatures who have a very low intelligence and are guided by instinct. Animals can have empathy, but it is guided by instinct. Monsters are creatures who lack empathy, they can be intelligent or not, but monsters can be destructive, violent, and selfish. Beings are creatures that possess the intelligence to understand the world they are a part of and may have empathy. Beings, due to their complex intelligence, can be as varied as you can imagine.
