Small, Medium, and Large creature categories

Kay Pelham

just like Carnivores and Herbivores (as an example) there should be a category for small, medium, and large creatures. a small, but helpful suggestion, I don't know if adding a category is hard or not, but nonetheless, I hope you're taking these ideas into consideration.

Kay Pelham Thanks for the suggestion. This would be pretty easy to add, though I try to avoid adding categories unless there's clear value to them -- since it just adds more data to keep up to date and make corrections if something is wrong.

But can you tell me what it would be used for? I think I could see the value for people who can't remember a dino's name -- they just remember it's really big. But I'm curious what you had in mind. :)

Dan Leveille: That is one reason for the category-- there's also a few others. Yeah, I can see that it's not the most important thing. 
I'm one of those fanfiction writers on Dododex, so one of the reasons why I suggested is for if a writer is specifically looking for a small or big creature for their story. Also, we use categories to write in alphabetically. just extra space, I guess. I totally understand that it's kind of dumb. but a bit helpful for people who are looking for a specific size for any reason. 
Thanks for listening.
