Maybe this category should be merged with Category:Legendary species? -- Conti 16:00, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Speaking of merging, why the distinction between Fictional species and Legendary creatures? How do you decide which category a creature belongs to? ··gracefool | ☺ 21:33, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Anything with a known author is not legendary unless very old indeed. So no Orcs, no Puppeteers, no Gorns, no monsters from Doom. Cyclops, Pegasus, Centaur is OK; same with similar creatures from other mythologies.
I think that's a pretty good first rule. If you can name the person or group who invented the creature, it's not legendary. DJ Clayworth 16:04, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)
yeah, but it cant hurt to have a differant page for: Trolls(jrr tolkien's world) and trolls(european legends). Because tolkien trolls are similar to the other trolls, and were definatly inspired by them. but some details for both dont belong on either page. you know what im saying?
I'm currently trying to move all the single-creature articles currently sitting in the general "legendary creatures" category into appropriate subcategories. If I put something in a subcategory that isn't appropriate, please put it where it belongs instead of just moving it back to the broader category. Thanks. Kotengu 小天狗 22:27, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
- subcategories listing male (or overwhelmingly male), intersex/hermaphroditic/non binary or genderless legendary creatures. Kind regards, Croak!ichi ( talk) 14:45, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
