Talk:Creature Template
--An Adventurer 23:01, 3 December 2007 (CST) The great thing about the wiki is we don't have to include locations to find creatures or what trophies they drop, as you can just click on the what links here button to see all that. Of course, this also means we need to get to work on a template for individual dungeon pages, and make sure they include a list of monsters with links to their pages. But in the end, it will be a much better system than current fine sites.

Realized that after the fact that we may end up not knowing stats, though I think stats shots are usually the best to show the mob.

We may want to keep the stats in there, unless we always use the ID panel as the image. But sometimes the ID panel is not the greatest image of the creature itself since it doesn't show size, and we can't always ID creatures but may obtain the stats from other sources. Plus I've made lots of links to invididual creature pages while writing quests up, and if these links don't show general stats they aren't as helpful. We may want to leave secondary attributes on at least.
Example:

[[Catagory:Monster]]
restricted width to 300 as that is the size of ID panel shots
we could also include full stats here, example:
| Monster Name | ||

We could even go further and include defenses:
