QuestionText:	Hello mods! I have a question about what animals/plants are available as natural soul inspirations. Can they be from a character's canon or do they have to be real world examples of flora/fauna?
DateAnswered:
AnswerText:	Hello there! This is an excellent idea. Soul types can be inspired by flora/fauna from a character's canon. The limitations here would be as such:<br><br><ol><li>Make sure that whatever the flora/fauna is, it's categorized correctly (that is, horse-inspired creatures do not work for Ruminantia-types; fictional fungi do not work for Terra-types), as we have plans involving unused categories.<br></li><li>Please only draw from your character's canon, not another unrelated canon. In [https://alogos.dreamwidth.org/1341.html?thread=10045#cmt10045 another question] we laid out a rule about Pokemon not being generally available as an inspiration, but if you were apping a Pokemon protagonist and wished to loosely <i>inspire</i> a Carnivora-type based on [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Purugly_(Pok%C3%A9mon) Purugly], that would be fine. Chocobos can inspire Final Fantasy characters' Aves-type. Lunar Tears can be incorporated into a NieR character's Terra-type. You get the picture!<br></li><li>Use common sense: if the source of inspiration would grant some kind of catastrophic powers that could break the setting, that wouldn't be great. If there is a rock out there in some fictional series that can end the world if you poke it, maybe just take <i>some</i> inspiration from it for your Golem-type, not all of it.</li></ol><br>Hope that helps!
