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.
