Wildlife in Genshin Impact - Character or General?

Posted under Tags

Onikabuto was obvious in the list of genshin impact characters as it was the only blue link, it then got me thinking: why is other wildlife categorized as characters?

Not saying only humans should be characters, I myself love slimes and fungus too, and they well deserved to be considered characters. However I feel this is less so for wildlife, which usually don't matter much on their own (there are exceptions like post #6038840 though).

I went ahead and changed some of the wildlife tags to general for the moment, but I feel the need to open a thread:

  • Is this appropriate? If so, should crystalfly (which has hundreds of posts) be changed too? If not, I'd be reverting my changes.
  • What is the general guideline for categorizing these stuff? To my knowledge, I know dolls can be characters if unique and prominent enough (e.g. Dodoco). But that's all I know.

Thanks for that. From my understanding these should be characters most of the time, I'm going to revert my changes (and fix Onikabuto).

In cases like this, it's recommended to first discuss the subject and only after that to make the changes and/or corrections.

My fault, I will take notice next time.
