We have...<p>I wondered about this myself.</p><p>We have established that most (all?) mythical beasts and monster species are general tags. <br>For RPG games, we have a weird system where we often use the name of a character class or the race as a character tag because the actual characters are often unnamed.<br>There are 3 types:<br>named characters in the story of a given race.<br>a limited selection of looks for your character (for example <a class="dtext-link dtext-wiki-link dtext-wiki-does-not-exist tag-type-4" href="/wiki_pages/princess_%287th_dragon%29" title="This wiki page does not exist">princess_(7th_dragon)</a> is 1 tag for 4 different characters.
