** Dragons are ColorCodedForYourConvenience like in default D&D, but unlike most settings they hatch colorless and translucent and develop pigmentation based on their moral choices in life. It's possible for the progeny of two good-aligned gold dragons to become an evil red dragon or vice-versa.
** Dungeon monsters are fabricated by the Dungeon as antagonistic forces and are not sapient, even if their stat block has a positive intelligence bonus.
** Fiends sneak in through the Veil separating the Beast World from other worlds with the goal of unraveling it.
** Undead are beholden to Veronette, goddess of unlife, and while mages might be able to control them for a little while they ultimately further her goal of scouring the Beast World of life.
*** Liches in particular are beasts who willingly offered themselves to Veronette, usually sacrificing their families in the process.
*** Vampires, the classical "tragic undead", are classified as fiends, and every one of them has voluntarily accepted a fiendish passenger into their body with the goal of becoming a bloodsucking bane to sapient life. The closest thing to an involuntary vampire is a [[{{Dhampyr}} Fiend-Vessel Spawn]], and they don't need to drink blood in the slightest.
