Alright I've decided to start with the types of living things in the world. After I do that I can tailor the catalyst system to function with that in mind.

Firstly listing the humanoids in the world, since I already had that finished. We've got humans, elves, fae, vampires, and the sub species of vampires, revenants. My friends and I decided the humanoids at the very beginning of writing this story. We just picked random ones we liked personally. Originally we were going to also have automatons as a race. However it didn't fit into the world we were creating, so we cut them out. So a lesson to learn about world building is to cut what you don't need.

Now onto non humanoid races, to do that I'm going to find a couple of online lists of mythical creatures.

So I found this one list, claiming to be the "ultimate list of mythical creatures", it was pretty short so I'm looking for another one... And I found these two lists...

So off of these two lists I noted down all the ones that suit my needs. While some creatures stood on their own, some were of similar characteristics or basis so I combined them. Here's the current list of potential creatures...

-Ogres, Trolls, or Bigfoot type cryptids

-animals with heightened features

-increased size

-additional teeth, limbs, ect

-amalgamations of multiple animals

-ect

-Camazotz

-spirits

-daemons

-aethrals

-ghosts

-wraithes

-mythical birds

-dragons, wyverns

-golems

-gremlins, goblins

-shape shifters

-Loch Ness Monster, Morgawr, Ogopogo

-Boogeyman, Shades, Blackdog

-regular animals

-elementals

I also added some creature that I know that weren't on the list. Now, I'll take the list I created, get rid of any that I don't really need, and define the ones I'll use. I'll mark the ones I don't need in red.
