Distinguish between iiag creatures and species?

[sjrct]

Should we, and if so, how?

[Grissess]

Just thoughts (I've been playing too much DF lately):

A species is an evolutionary line--from the iiag standpoint, it's more of a group or faction which individuals identify with, and thus should be documented as such.

A creature is a singular individual (which possesses or identifies with one specie), and could have its own documented history.

I that was how I was thinking of differentiating between "creatures" and "persons". Your terminology makes more sense though. My question is more geared towards things like how fbir and gnats were different creature types in iiag, but were of the same species.

I would imagine its just like races in the real world where we have
different types of birds but ones bird of the same species would be able to
procreate.
