Talk:Giant beaver

Hello there. Are there any giant beavers in the Realms? I know there are beavers, but I can't recall any giant beavers. If these do exist, can you please provide a source and an appearance (if appropriate)? Cheers! ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 10:42, August 22, 2019 (UTC)


 * Hello! I did find and have added that there are giant beavers on the Moonshaes.
 * This might not be the best place to ask, but is there a 2nd or 1st edition definition of animal? The "low to average intelligence" would make the giant beaver not an animal according to the 3rd edition Monster Manual. Daranios (talk) 18:10, August 22, 2019 (UTC)


 * Excellent find all the way from 1 edition! There are a few animals in 2nd edition that have "above animal intelligence", i.e., semi-intelligence or low intelligence. For example, jaguars are considered to be semi-intelligent. Going even further, many giant and dire animals have higher intelligence, some even a lot higher! For example, the giant lynx is considered to be very intelligent, even more so than many humans! ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 19:51, August 22, 2019 (UTC)


 * Ah, I see. As befits the category hierarchy, Category:Animals is broader than the 3rd edition defintion of the animal type. Good to know, thanks. Daranios (talk) 06:27, August 23, 2019 (UTC)
