Even during an age of strife, adventurers will frequently find time to step away from the battles at hand, if not out of necessity, then simply for a change of pace. Whether procuring pelts for sale at the market, gathering ingredients for alchemic endeavors, or finding a tasty morsel to quell the incessant grumblings of one's belly, hunting is an indispensable part of an adventurer's daily routine.
However, taking up a blade against the realm's wildlife can be no less dangerous than standing in a shield wall on the front lines of battle, or defending a fortress against a bloody siege. The harsh environs of Eorzea have left their mark on the land's fauna, culling the weak and sharpening the senses of those that survived; and while they may not be tainted with the same dark ambitions that poison the hearts of men, the beasts are equally ruthless when threatened. Thus, a truly skilled hunter will never step into the wild without first fully understanding the beast they pursue.
Eorzeapedian Taxonomy
The fauna and flora of Eorzea have been collected into a compendium called the Raimdelle Codex for identification, but they may also be organized into a taxonomical hierarchy. When limited to the range of monsters you will face in Eorzea, the taxonomy is as follows. Take note that because the in-game lore does not give these ranks official names, some terms have been unofficially substituted for the sake of convenience.
Superfamily - Referred to as Kindreds
- Family - Enemies of a specific visual type
- Subfamily - Subgroups of enemies that differ slightly in appearance
- Monster - Specific enemies identified by in-game name
- Subfamily - Subgroups of enemies that differ slightly in appearance
It should also be noted that the appropriate term can be difficult to discern at times because when a family divides into subfamilies, one will share a name with the family. Likewise, many monsters will share a name with their respective subfamily. In some cases, such as that of the Roseling, a Monster and its respective Subfamily, and Family may all share the same name. Early Eorzean scholars such as Frandelont Raimdelle are to blame for this, as the Codex organizes life from the "top down" instead of the "bottom up."
