		+	It doesn't strike me as very tidy to have an individual page for each monster. I had merged all the [[canines]] (with some exceptions) and all the [[ant]]s pages before I even saw that their individual pages was a project.
		+	I think that if a monster has enough info here to warrant its own page, then it can split off. Otherwise it's harder to find all the information. That's the way that wikipedia does it, and it seems to work.
