Monster Classes

Monster Classes (or simply Class) are categories for creatures, and work as a shorthand for what sort of abilities a creature might have--and what spells and abilities might work upon it.

Classes

Class	Description
Animal	Available in Giant (huge) and Dire (mutant). Affected by Animal spells. Dire and Giant animals tend to be more ornery.
Construct	Incorruptible magical servants and animated machines.
Demon	Unholy entities from Heck. Can be Banished. Often affected by holy items and holy individuals.
Divine Servitor	Extraplanar beings not from Heck. They often have important business to attend to, and important messages to deliver.
Elder Thing	Unfathomably alien, often hostile to ordinary life. Technically not magical, but strange nonetheless.
Elemental	Earth, wind, water, fire -- and many others. Primal spirits.
Faerie	Free-willed living things with some fundamental magic to them.
Hybrid	Animal hybrids. Most canons would probably lump in hybrids with Dire animals.
Mundane	Most sapient creatures. Bandits, bugbears, dinomen and wildmen. Dragons are counted as Mundane in DFRPG, but that may be an oversight.
Plant	Living things that grow in the ground, affected by Plant spells and Plant Empathy. Includes fungi!
Slime	Diffuse, blobby things with seemingly no mind.
Spirit	Incorporeal and certainly not living...
Undead	A necromantically revived creature. Can be combined with other monster classes.
