{{PAGENAME}} generates a table for a creature with data pulled from a data module, like the example below of a Blood Daemon:

Along with wild creatures this template can also display creatures from [[Strangelands]] or creatures found on [[ships]], if specified.

CreatureTable generates a table for a creature with data pulled from a data module, like the example below of a Blood Daemon:

Along with wild creatures this template can also display creatures from Strangelands or creatures found on ships, if specified.

Editing

This template is generated by Module:Creatures, which conditionally formats the creature data, this cannot be edited without a basic understanding of Lua, or at least general programming. However the creature's data is pulled from one of three sources depending on the type specified:

Each modules documentation (linked at the top of their pages) gives details on how to structure data in the Lua tables, after editing it is recommended that editors make sure the template still functions properly.
