This is just an example with lots of silly entries, and humor should be avoided in normal use.

This template is for use in any article about a creature native to the World of Greyhawk™ campaign setting.

Usage

Copy and paste this section at the top of the article, and fill in the information areas. The image and caption parameters are optional, but are preferred.

The recommended image size is a width of 250px so that it will completely fill the infobox without increasing its size.

If any fields are left undefined they will not appear.

Do not add wiki links to alignments.

  • Name—only necessary if it differs significantly from the page name
  • Image—if an image of the subject has been uploaded, place the link to it like this: [[File:Example.PNG|250px]].
  • Caption—describe the image briefly. Cite which product the illustration is from and the artist or creator.
  • Alt_name—if the creature has a different name, list it here. E.g., "noniz"" for halfling or "hueleneaer" for desert centaurs.
  • Size—the typical size category of this type of creature. (usually Fine, Diminutive, Tiny, Small, Medium, Large, Huge, Gargantuan, and Colossal).
  • Alignment—the typical alignment of the subject. Include more than one if it differs in some editions.
  • First—the first appearance of the creature in official published material. Use a wikilink in double braces [[like this]] to link to pages if it is an official Greyhawk source.
  • Patron deity—a particular deity or pantheon which members of the creature's culture may typically favor.
  • Type and Subtype—the general description of the creature using game-terms; Some creatures have further modifiers (subtypes) to describe something which makes them different than others of their type, such as subraces. E.g. Doppelgängers are "humanoid (shapechanger)". Other subtypes include: air, aquatic, chaotic, cold, earth, electricity, evil, incorporeal, fire, good, lawful, reptilian, or swarm.
Types are not specified in 1e and 2e, but are given in 3e, 4e, and 5e.
Fifth edition types include the following (2014 and 2024):
Additionally, there may be a "tag" or tags in parentheses after the type, such as humanoid (orc). Place those in the subtype parameter. These may include: humanoid tags like Elf or Orc, dragon tags like Chromatic and Metallic, and others including Angel, Beholder, Demon, Devil, Dinosaur, Genie, Goblinoid, Lycanthrope, or Yugoloth.
Fourth edition types for creatures (often with one or more added keywords) are:
There are also many "keywords"—angel, demon, devil, dragon, giant, undead, reptile, mount, construct, shapechanger, spider, etc. Place these in the subtype parameter.
"Origins" are also used, which are related to particular planes—aberrant, elemental (air, earth, fire, water), fey, immortal, natural, and shadow (or Shadowfell). Also place these in the subtype parameter.
Third edition types are:
Subtypes for third edition[1][2][3][4][5] include— Air, Angel, Aquatic, Archon, Augmented, Baatezu, Chaotic, Cold, Dragonblood, Earth, Elf, Electricity[note 3]Evil, Extraplanar, Fire, Goblinoid, Good, Incorporeal, Lawful, Living Construct, Native, Obyrith, Orc, Reptilian, Shapechanger,[note 2] Swarm, Tanar'ri, Water, and Yugoloth.

Notes

  1. a b c d The "beast" type is dropped from third edition in v3.5, with those creatures either being redefined as either an "animal" or "magical beast". In fourth and fifth editions, "beast" is used again and includes essentially the same creatures as "animal". Also in fifth edition, "magical beast" is dropped with most of those creatures being termed a "monstrosity".
  2. a b "Shapechanger" is a subtype (in 3.5e) rather than a type (in 3e).
  3. The "(electricity)" subtype is dropped from third edition in v3.5.
