* I generally agree with Ferot_Dreadnaught regarding the issues with expanded universe species, and with perhaps giving prominent \\\"magical animal\\\" species their own section in the page.
* I would personally prefer to keep the timberwolves and ursas in [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicDangerousCreatures Dangerous Creatures]], since that\\\'s what they\\\'re used as in the show -- monsters, threats and antagonists. I can imagine the distinction between this proposed page and Dangerous Creatures as being like that between, say, [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicJerksAndBullies Jerks and Bullies]] and the one-shot and supporting characters pages. This is also why I would prefer to keep the changelings where they are in the Redeemed Villains page, although I\\\'m open to being talked around.
* Do we have enough on the diamond dogs to give them a species treatment as a whole? Strictly speaking, we only saw the three of them -- I\\\'m not sure how easily we can tell what\\\'s inherent to their culture or species, what\\\'s peculiar to those three and what may be normal for them as a whole but the ones we saw didn\\\'t do.\\\\\\\\

Also, the diamond dogs are in Jerks and Bullies at the moment, not Dangerous Creatures.
* \\\'\\\'However\\\'\\\', a possibility might be trying to see if it\\\'s possible to separate characters tropes and species tropes for at least some groups -- to see if it\\\'s possible to treat the individuals and their species as separate entities.
* One last thing: since I\\\'m assuming that creating this page will involve a large-scale transplant of most of the current entries in the [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicBackgroundPoniesOthers Background Ponies - Others]] page (I can\\\'t seem to get to the sandbox page, so I don\\\'t know for certain), what should be done about the ones left over? Would there be enough for a page to stand on its own, or should we just move the topmost folder and the entries for individuals and small groups to the other two background ponies pages?
