Creatures in [[Action]] are associated with the different origin [[Forms and Techniques (Action Powers)|Forms]].
 
 
 
* '''Aberrations''' are creatures that have been warped by powerful unnatural forces. The result of tampering or...
 
* '''Abominations'''
 
* '''Animals''' are mundane creatures tied to the [[Animal_(Action_Powers_Form) | Animal]] form. As animals are often exceptional and the equals of much more magical beings.  In the [[Cosmology_(Action)#Axis_Mundi | Axis Mundi]] cosmology most animals come from the [[Cosmology_(Action)#The_Prime | Prime]], but animals exist even in other realms.
 
* '''Automatons''' are mundane creatures tied to the [[Technology_(Action_Powers_Form) | Technology]] form. Prime examples are robots, but androids, clockwork creatures, self-operating mahinery and vehicles, and AIs are also automatons. Less developed automatons are of low intelligence and self-awareness, but advanced automatons can be almost anything.
 
* '''Gifted''' are linked to the [[Gifts_(Action_Powers_Form)| Gifts]] origin. Also known as mutants, elementals, demons, supers, monsters, and by a host of other names, they are creatures imbued with powers seemingly at random, or powers inherent to their nature or heritage. The gifted range from dumb brutes, often elemental in nature, to humans and animals blessed with strange abilities.  In the [[Cosmology_(Action)#Axis_Mundi | Axis Mundi]] cosmology they are linked to the [[Cosmology_(Action)#The_Inner_Planes | Inner Planes]]. They also exist in the [[Cosmology_(Action)#The_Prime | Prime]], but primal extraordinaries are often seen as odd or prejudiced against.
 
* '''Faeries''' are associated with the [[Fey_(Action_Powers_Form) | Fey]] origin. They are flighty creatures, like children playing at being adults. They can be capricious and cruel or kind and loving, sometimes both at once. In the [[Cosmology_(Action)#Axis_Mundi | Axis Mundi]] cosmology they are linked to [[Cosmology_(Action)#Faery | Faery]].
 
* '''[[Folk_(Action_Creatures) | Folk]]''' are tied to the [[Mind_(Action_Powers_Form) | Mind]] form.  Mundane creatures with intellect, folk build societies and often cities and nations. In the [[Cosmology_(Action)#Axis_Mundi | Axis Mundi]] cosmology folk thrive on the [[Cosmology_(Action)#The_Prime | Prime]], but can also survive on neighboring planes, even if life there is often harsh. 
 
* '''Spirits''' are tied to the [[Spiritual_(Action_Powers_Form) | Spiritual]] form. They are creatures of spirit and ideals, removed from physical reality. This group includes angels and embodiment of spiritual concepts. In the [[Cosmology_(Action)#Axis_Mundi | Axis Mundi]] cosmology eidolons thrive in the [[Cosmology_(Action)#Astral_Realms | Astral Realms]].
 
* '''Undead''' are tied to the [[Death_(Action_Powers_Form) | Death]] form and are neither living nor dead, exisiting on the border between worlds. Spiritual creatures yet not freed from the material, undead in the [[Cosmology_(Action)#Axis_Mundi | Axis Mundi]] cosmology are most common in the [[Cosmology_(Action)#Shadowlands | Shadowlands]] but also exist in neighboring realms.
