Elfwood is a great site, thanks for bringing it to attention!

Umm ... I know what they mean but does "realistic fantasy animals" sound weird to anyone else?

If I stop to think about it I'd say "believable" would have been a better term.

I love that the very first step is 'Purpose.' Why do you want a creature? Exactly. Answer that one and you are good to go.
