Folklore of the isles, water and the drowned, anomalous far-side, and beasts and heraldry — 25 each, in four source files wired into collectSpecs(). check-creatures passes at 204 specs across 13 sources and the full 23-guard suite is green. The population this was meant to fix: non-human body plan 4 -> 48 (29 quadruped, 15 winged) vesh / cadence 5/5 -> 13/13 creatures 47 -> 147 CREATURE_FORGE_PLAN.md called the unused location tables the reason to build any of this; the quadruped and winged plans now carry a bestiary rather than three dogs and a heraldic beast. Art is procedural: 102 SVG portraits composed from each creature's own body geometry, so a cadence portrait has five headless bodies because its location table has five. The 17 hand-made portraits are untouched. BESTIARY_ART.md carries 204 derived Midjourney prompts for the ones worth illustrating properly later. Known and unfixed, reported by three of the four authors independently: WEAPONS has no bite, claw, gore, hoof or talon, so every creature that kills with its mouth carries `grasp` and states its real damage in prose. simulate.mjs measures the grasp. Next commit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

THE CUSTODIANS — bestiary art prompt sheet
Generated by tools/mj-queue.mjs sheet. Do not edit by hand: every prompt is
derived from the creature's own statblock, so editing here is overwritten and,
worse, lets the art disagree with the hit-location table. Change the creature.
