Hey, check these out!
(Crossposted from PxC)
The first 13 creatures I have notes on! These are in no particular order except the first four, which are based on Dwarves, Salamanders, Undines, and Sylphs - creatures that represent the four basic elements. These four creatures are the ones you can start with - I have WIP silhouettes of them (Rank 4) in my sprite thread.
"Abilityset" represents the types of moves they learn and stats they receive typically. Homunculi you recruit in the wild will typically have these exact characteristics, but bred homunculi will have inherited their parents spells, attacks, and stats, so they can be used for pretty much any of the roles.
The Grimoire is a bestiary/Pokedex. It catalogs homunculi you have bred, recruited, or received. The book also collects records such as breeding and recruitment results.
Finally, Notes are just my notes on what the average creature of that species does, inspiration for designs, mount status, etcetera.
