Attention ZOS: frogs are amphibians, not reptiles

✭✭✭✭✭I wonder how many more times this Endeavor is going to come up before ZOS checks their categories.
Aristotle would be proud. Linnaeus, the father of modern taxonomy, would be quite unhappy.Edited by VaranisArano on October 11, 2021 5:49PM1 -

Look closer, clearly they are toads, not frogs.Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.***Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis0 -

Now wales and dolphins was of many considered fish but this might have more to do with the catholic church mandating fish days so people twisted this into that animals who looked like fish as in wales and dolphins was fish in this setting, this was later made more absurd in that animals who spend most their time in water like ducks was to be considered fish
The Muslim version of this is that Vodka or other liquor made of potato is not affected by the ban on drinking alcohol as potatoes was not known back then the rule was made

Now ESO has some weird stuff regarding classifications.Grinding just make you go in circles.

Humanoid Daedra who looks more like humans than Argonians does also not count. Not tested with Maomers but guess its playable races. Now 4 legged Khajiit should not count here.FlopsyPrince wrote: »trackdemon5512 wrote: »Hackwings are considered birds here. There’s in-game argonian literature about it.

They might be birds but they counted for me towards my reptiles!
At least the ones in Blackwood did - it's not consistent for different zones tho, like the kill humanoid one didn't count argonians in murkmire but liked those in Blackwood just fine
Goblins aren't humanoid?
(Not your post, but that came up on one day's endeavor.)
However if Argonians don't count as humanoid its serious weird if equal playable races?

The frogs in question are the size of small cows. In a zone where reptilian "bears" dance with the mammalian kind.
Anything is possible.

Toanis✭✭✭✭✭File this under: does not bother me.
Actually "fixing" it takes away options for the endeavour, so it does kinda bother me.
Restrictive definitions are much more anoying, IMO. "Kill x beasts" seems to mean only real-world mammals like wolves, boars, bears, in a world with multiple zones where insects, crustaceans, reptiles or amphibians occupy the niche of "beasts". Just call it "mammals" or "furry animals". Don't make us travel from zone to zone until we figure out what you mean.1
