User:SolemnStormcloud/Sandbox/Elemental creatures dissection
This is a sandbox for dissecting the elemental creatures categories, possibly by splitting each of them into two categories—one for subjects that are made of an element; another for those who can simply use an element. Its creation was inspired by this discussion, and anyone can contribute to this project.
Note: When adding a subject to an "Unsure/other" section, please be sure to add commentary explaining your reasoning.

Ultimate, predates the introduction of wind moves as a mechanic.
