(ex. cat = felanro) An alternate method combines the English term in some way with the suffix -formes. (ex. cat = Catiformes) Obviously a lot of this is fudged until a better system is devised. In particular, \"house\" cats and dogs comprise an overwhelming abundance of varieties. It's a headache. However, a sapient biped is biologically different from a sentient quadruped, and therefore must be identified with proper vocabulary. This list is subject to indecisive revision. It is understood that these terms are substituting actual in-universe words from an unknown language. Don't forget about Ctrl+F. Oh, and some of these might be mythical. Just saying.\n\nAn [NPC generator](http://orteil.dashnet.org/randomgen/?gen=KfwY18GY) is available using this list, which even provides age, sex, coloration, and four Risus-style aspects ranked from (4) to (1). It's random; it's not sensible. (Vamale was a term replacing the rude colloquialism \"cuntboy\", although only \"intersex\" is used now apart from male and female.)\n\n##### Mammals - mammalanro - Mammalia\n\nAardvark - orycteropanro - Orycteropus  \nAlpaca - pacanro - Vicugna pacos  \nAnteater - vermilinguanro - Vermilingua  \nArctic Fox - alopanro - alopine  \nArmadillo - dasypodanro - Dasypodidae  \nBadger - melinanro - Melinae / Mellivorinae (I don't give a fuck either anymore.)  \nBat - chiropteranro - Chiroptera  \nBear - ursanro - ursine  \nBeaver - castoranro - castorine  \nBuffalo - bisanro - bison  \nBunny - lapanro - lapine  \nCamel - camelanro - camelus  \nCat (house) - felanro - feline  \nCheetah - jubatanro - jubatus  \nChipmunk - tamianro - tamias  \nCow - bovanro - bovine  \nCoyote - latranro - Canis latrans  \nDeer / Elk - cervanro - Cervidae  \nDingo - dinganro - Canis lupus dingo  \nDog (house) - cananro - canine  \nDolphin - delphanro - delphine  \nDonkey - asinanro - asinus  \nElephant - proboscanro - proboscine  \nFerret - putoranro - Mustela putorius  \nFox - vulpanro - vulpine  \nGazelle - gazellanro - Gazella  \nGiraffe - giraffanro - Giraffidae  \nGoat - hircanro - hircine  \nGopher - geomyanro - geomyidae  \nGorilla - gorillanro - gorilla  \nGuanaco - guanacanro - guanacoe  \nHamster - cricetanro - Cricetinae  \nHedgehog - erinaceanro - Erinaceidae  \nHippo - hippopotamanro - hippopotamus  \nHorse - equanro - equine  \nHyena - hyaenanro - hyaenidae (Aeaeaeaeaeaeae.)  \nJackal - jackalanro - Canis aureus/adustus/mesomelas (Getting real sick of your shit, Mr. Linnaeus.)  \nKangaroo - macropodanro - macropodine  \nKoala - cineranro - cinereus  \nLemur - lemuranro - lemuroidae (Joey?)  \nLeopard / Ocelot - leopardanro - Panthera pardus (Screw panthera pardus when you have leopardus  \npardalis.)  \nLion - leonanro - leonine  \nLlama - glamanro - Lama glama  \nLynx - lynxanro - lynx (Now explain what happened with kangaroo.)  \nMeerkat - suricatanro - suricatta (Just stick with a damn system, people.)  \nMonkey - simianro - Platyrrhini (In simiformes, don't want to sound like platypus.)  \nMongoose - mungosanro - Mungos mungo (I'm not naming them herpes-tanro.)  \nMoose - alcanro - Alces alces  \nMouse - musanro - Mus  \nOkapi - okapianro - Okapia  \nOpossum - didelphanro - didelphidae  \nOrca - orcanro - orcine  \nOtter - lutrinanro - lutrinae  \nPanda - pandanro - Ailuropoda melanoleuca (I'm up to here.)  \nPanther - pantheranro - Panthera  \nPig / Boar - porcanro - porcine  \nPlatypus - platypanro - Ornithorhynchus (Are you fucking kidding me?
