Creature subtypes are an additional way to classify creatures. Sometimes there could be lore attached to them. Certain abilities might only affect this sub type as well. Subtypes come in three divisions, mirroring the player-character system: Ancestries — the species package a creature is built on (owns its base movement); Lineages — transformations layered on top (vampirism, lichdom, lycanthropy); and Groupings — umbrella classification tags below a full creature type. This list shows all three. Glossary: Creature Sub Type · Creature Compilation.
