Arachnids are also chitinous bois. Crabs are arachnids after all.
The lables for these endeavors are very very unclear. All sorts of enemies are not considered "Beasts" either. Only mammals, however Trolls which look like mammals are not considered beasts. I would argue any dangerous animal is a beast.

The reason Kwama don't count as "chitinous creatures" is because they are already considered "insectoid", which is silly as insects have carapaces made of chitin.
That makes me wonder if Guars are considered reptiles or bird-like (like the dinosaurs).
ZOS needs a zoologist on their team.

Lol, apparently Dunerippers are "chitinous creatures" when they are clearly reptiles and should not have chitin but rather keratin.

Well that's doubly annoying then, because Kwama being farmed for their various parts is like some of the biggest amount of lore and impact on the game of any of the non-daedric creatures.
The cuttle, the chitin, the wax, the eggs, all important to Dunmer society. Dunmer and the Kwama farming are so important to the lore that there are multiple Kwama mines the Vestige interacts with. So if they were gonna have an endeavor that told you to kill foes with one of these parts (in this Chitin) then the Kwama should count. If they can only count for one of those things, then it should be that one. This element of them is super important for the lore. It'd be like Dragons not counting for flying foes because they already counted them as reptilian or whatever.

What bothers me is that they can have "chitinous", "humanoid", "bestial daedra" and such conditions for endeavors, yet fighter guild bonus damage against vampires and werewolves is a performance hit and will be removed next patch.

This right here. We're told time after time that kwama are farmed for chitin, eggs, cuttle, etc. It's in the lore ffs. But yet they don't count for the endeavor.
Only possible reason I see for this is to make it harder to do the endeavor. Either that or someone goofed and needs to be slapped. Hard with a kwama chitin.
Alternately, "chitinous," is meant to refer to arthropods, while the kwama are insectoids.

(That'd be the real solution - let them put things in more than one set. So actual bugs could be in Insects and Chitinous. Well, or just get rid of one of the two, and come up with something else that doesn't overlap so much.)
