"flying canine", lol. I think that the names of the classes really don't matter that much. It's hard to cover all of the monster's characteristics in a class in a single name. What I think matters, are the similarities between monsters in the same class. There need to be some strict rules about wheter or not a monster fits in the class (elder dragons are exeptions, because they are a class for monsters who can't be classified as any other class). For example: it has to have two legs, wings, the same type of skeleton... That way Garara Ajara can't be a leviathan, no matter how "sea monstery" it looks like, because it only has small front arms and has a snake shaped body. Thanks for reading.
