Would it be a idea to place monsters here by level and location? --Blakborn 08:05, 3 March 2007 (PST)

At a minimum we should have a representation of all the threat levels to explain the icon color. Also I do think we should capture key monsters here. --Hinney 21:21, 16 March 2007 (PDT)

Looks good, but i dont know if 'orc-kind' is a good description. --Blakborn 03:44, 25 March 2007 (PDT)

But Orc-kind is the type that is used in the tooltips in the games when you hover a creature... --Tjikke 05:48, 25 March 2007 (PDT)

Then keep it like that. ;)--Blakborn 07:31, 25 March 2007 (PDT)

Think we gotta agree on how we'll categories the creatures. Either through the in-game categories that Turbine created, or through some we fix by ourselves. If we use the in-game ones, then birds fall into the 'Beasts' category :) --Tjikke 08:27, 26 March 2007 (PDT)

i havent seen any category for birds but i noticed i saw quite a lot of them. And you described beasts as mammals and birds arent mammal, I think. Since we got insects and mammals, why not birds. Thinking about the races of middle earth birds dont realy classefy anywhere. I believe they are realy hard to classify and therefor need their own class. If Turbine gives us a full monsterlist or classify's them as something else we can always change it. --Blakborn 08:51, 26 March 2007 (PDT)

Shouldn't we go further then just spiders and name Bindhole spider, Weaver spider etc. --Blakborn 08:53, 26 March 2007 (PDT)

I think it would be most right to use the ingame creature categories. Sure we should mension all the spider species that exist :) --Tjikke 14:17, 26 March 2007 (PDT)

We still need to decide if we should use the in-game creature categories, or create our own. The first would mean that we had to remove Bird-kind. We need someone else but Blakborn and myself to comment on this, since we can't agree on this matter :)

We also still need some better names for the evil alligned Men and Dwarves. I still dont like 'Evil Dwarves' ^^ --Tjikke 06:15, 29 March 2007 (PDT)

Stick with the in-game classifications, and we probably can search the quests text for better names for the evil men and dwarves. --Hinney 10:03, 29 March 2007 (PDT)

How about BRIGANDS for both Evil Dwarves and Man? Its used in Accomplishments and in Ered Luin refered to Dourhands and i believe in Bree-land to those Evil Man...
PS: Sorry for caps but this page needs cleaning up anyway--Xander 06:14, 31 March 2007 (PDT)

In-game tooltip for birds is Swarm. I think the proper designation on the creature type here is Swarm, and this type includes other non-bird multi-individual organizms such as bats and gnats.--Nemmerle 10:09, 29 March 2007 (PDT)

No when you look at the toop tips for birds its:

Craban
Swarm
>Healthbar<
Beast

I don't know what 'swarm' actually is supposed to mean. For other creatures, like a boar it look like:

Boar
Normal
>Healthbar<
Beast

Birds is ordered into the 'Beast' category. What 'swarm' and 'normal' mean, is another issuse, which ofc could be useful to determine :) --Tjikke 10:57, 29 March 2007 (PDT)

• Aren't normal creatures 1 creature and swams are a lot of smaller ones? --Blakborn 14:27, 29 March 2007 (PDT)

Difficulty indicators

I found during monster play 2 more indicators. nemisis and arch-nemisis. Should i enter them? --Blakborn 15:03, 26 March 2007 (PDT)

Sure, but we should figure out if they are unique to Monster Players or to Ettenmoors in generel :) --Tjikke 23:26, 26 March 2007 (PDT)

I think they are restricted to pvmp area's but need conformation from high-level player. --Blakborn 04:20, 27 March 2007 (PDT)

• Not sure if this has been answered yet, it's been a while... but I will go ahead and do it. As you may have noticed from the recent increase in Nemesis mobs from the instance articles I have been working on, this classification is not used simply for PvMP. Starting with Garth Agarwen, all the hardest bosses in instances seem to be considered a Nemesis, and without a doubt require a full fellowship to defeat. Arch-nemesis on the other hand is used pretty much exclusively used for Raid bosses... Thorog and others in Helegrod are of this type, and as more raids are added I'm sure there will be more. --Fedaykin 20:55, 6 August 2007 (PDT)

Well I been add new Creatures as I play on-line. Any way with Location as we going to use namespace for it? --Speico 11:03am AEST 21 June 2007

I have fix the list of items that show up under the beast category now as they will be in a sub list call "beast-name Trophies". --Speico 15:09, 12 December 2007 (PST)
