Here's another suggestion: could we have a more intuitive categorization of enemies? Requiem is supposed to damage the undead, but it doesn't include Forgotten Faces or Whims, both of whom seem to clearly fit into that category on account of being parts of beings that were once alive and are now not quite. I broke down the existing types of monsters plus some missing spots to create the following list:
So to break down a couple of old enemies by this new categorization:
-- Whim would be an Undead/Null/Fig/Fey
-- Centaur would be an Alive/Null/Nature/Magic Beast
-- The Master Stone would be an Alive/Null/(Shifting)/Crystal
-- Annihilator : Karnos would be an Undead/Aberration/(Shifting)/Insect
-- Annihilator : Animus would be an Undead/Aberration/(Shifting)/Spirit
-- Moric would be Alive/Annunaki/Nature/Spirit
-- Moric after possessing Social Fox would be Undead/Annunaki/Shadow/Human
-- Droma would be Alive/Null/(Shifting: Depends on Annunaki in chapter)/Constructs
1) Living status: ALIVE | UNDEAD
2) Boss status/type: NULL | ABERRATION | ANNUNAKI | DEMON | DRAGON | TERRESTRIAL | GUARDIAN
3) Elemental form: AERIAL/FLYING (AIR) | ICTHYD/OOZE (WATER) | PLANTOID/NATURE (EARTH) | FLAME (FIRE) | FIGMENT (FIG) | ILLUSION (AETHER) | SHADOW (DARK) | RADIANT (LIGHT)
4) Physical type: BEAST | CONSTRUCT | GOBLINOID | HUMAN | INSECT | REPTILIAN | REPTOID
*OR*
Aetherial/Mind type: CRYSTAL | ELEMENTAL | FEY | MAGIC BEAST | SPIRIT
