'''Animal life''' is a [[sage field]] available to [[Druid (class)|druids]] that provides familiarity with [[Animal|animals]] — complex, boned & muscular creatures whose bodies pump blood. [[Knowledge Points|Knowledge]] is gained regarding animal origins, ranges, lifestyles and instincts. By studying animals in their environment, characters are able to predict their movements, seek means of communication, benefit from the natural resources that animals offer and use studies of anatomy and bodily functions as a basis for zoological evolution and engineering.

The field includes the following studies:

* '''[[Amphibians & Reptiles (sage study)|Amphibians & Reptiles]]''': the study of scaly, four-legged, cold-blooded egg-laying animals, including both creatures who spend part of their lives in water and those who are born and live all their lives on land.

* '''[[Birds (sage study)|Birds]]''': the study of feathered, winged, two-legged, warm-blooded egg-laying animals, characterized by a beak with no teeth and a lightweight skeleton.

* '''[[Bugs & Spiders (sage study)|Bugs & Spiders]]''': the study of multi-legged, exoskeletal insects, characterized by antennae, pincers, stingers, wings and a wide variety of other features.

* '''[[Golems (sage study)|Golems]]''': the art of bestowing life into creature-appearing constructs designed from homogenous natural materials, typically flesh, stone, clay, wood, metal and cloth, leavened dough or plant root.

* '''[[Mammals (sage study)|Mammals]]''': the study of warm blooded, hairy animals with four limbs gestated through live birth, with a wide variety of features. The knowledge includes humanoid forms to some degree.

* '''[[Sea Life (sage study)|Sea Life]]''': the study of marine creatures and animals dwelling in both salt and freshwater environments, characterized by their ability to swim and breathe underwater.

* '''[[Slime Molds (sage study)|Slime Molds]]''': the study of jellies, metamorphs, molds, oozes, puddings and slimes, enabling the character to explain the behaviour and dangers of these creatures.
'''[[Amphibians & Reptiles (sage study)|Amphibians & Reptiles]]''': the study of scaly, four-legged, cold-blooded egg-laying animals, including both creatures who spend part of their lives in water and those who are born and live all their lives on land.

 The field includes the following [[Sage Study|sage studies]]:
-* '''[[Amphibians & Reptiles (sage study)|Amphibians & Reptiles]]''': the study of scaly, four-legged, cold-blooded egg-laying animals, including both creatures who spend part of their lives in water and those who are born and live all their lives on land.
+:* '''[[Amphibians & Reptiles (sage study)|Amphibians & Reptiles]]''': the study of scaly, cold-blooded, egg-laying creatures, including those that pass between water and land and those that dwell wholly upon the earth, characterised by their dependence upon heat and their often deliberate, measured movement.
-* '''[[Birds (sage study)|Birds]]''': the study of feathered, winged, two-legged, warm-blooded egg-laying animals, characterized by a beak with no teeth and a lightweight skeleton.
+:* '''[[Birds (sage study)|Birds]]''': the study of feathered, winged, warm-blooded creatures, known for flight, keen senses and territorial behaviour, identified by their beaks, hollow bones and capacity for swift, directed movement through the air.
-* '''[[Bugs & Spiders (sage study)|Bugs & Spiders]]''': the study of multi-legged, exoskeletal insects, characterized by antennae, pincers, stingers, wings and a wide variety of other features.
+:* '''[[Bugs & Spiders (sage study)|Bugs & Spiders]]''': the study of small, many-legged, hard-bodied creatures, including insects and arachnids, noted for rapid reproduction, varied forms and specialised means of attack or defence such as biting, stinging, web-spinning or burrowing.
-* '''[[Golems (sage study)|Golems]]''': the art of bestowing life into creature-appearing constructs designed from homogenous natural materials, typically flesh, stone, clay, wood, metal and cloth, leavened dough or plant root.
+:* '''[[Golems (sage study)|Golems]]''': the study of constructed, creature-like forms animated through artifice, composed of uniform natural substances such as flesh, stone, clay, wood or metal, whose behaviour follows imposed purpose rather than instinct.
-* '''[[Mammals (sage study)|Mammals]]''': the study of warm blooded, hairy animals with four limbs gestated through live birth, with a wide variety of features.  The knowledge includes humanoid forms to some degree.
+:* '''[[Mammals (sage study)|Mammals]]''': the study of warm-blooded, furred or haired creatures that bear live young, marked by adaptability, varied diet and complex behaviour, including many of the larger land-dwelling beasts and, in part, humanoid forms.
-* '''[[Sea Life (sage study)|Sea Life]]''': the study of marine creatures and animals dwelling in both salt and freshwater environments, characterized by their ability to swim and breathe underwater.
+:* '''[[Sea Life (sage study)|Sea Life]]''':the study of creatures dwelling within water, whether salt or fresh, characterised by their means of swimming, breathing and navigating submerged environments, and by forms adapted to pressure, current and depth.
-* '''[[Slime Moulds (sage study)|Slime Moulds]]''': the study of jellies, metamorphs, moulds, oozes, puddings and slimes, enabling the character to explain the behaviour and dangers of these creatures.
+:* '''[[Slime Moulds (sage study)|Slime Moulds]]''':the study of amorphous, mutable growths and jellied creatures, including oozes, moulds and puddings, defined by their slow movement, corrosive or consuming nature and resistance to ordinary bodily harm.
-Although the creatures examined in some of these studies are not "animals" and may be considered [[Monster|monsters]] in some cases, these creatures behave in various ways that are animal-like — thus their study is more appropriately found among more traditional animals than within studies of [[Plant Life (field)|plant life]].
+Although some creatures examined in these studies are not strictly "animals" and may be regarded as [[Monster|monsters]], they exhibit patterns of behaviour akin to animals; they move, react, pursue, withdraw and persist according to recognisable conditions. Their actions may be governed by instinct, conditioning or imposed purpose, yet in all cases they present as entities whose behaviour can be observed, anticipated and understood. For this reason, their study is more suitably placed alongside traditional animals than within the study of [[Plant Life (field)|plant life]], which concerns growth, rootedness and passive change rather than directed action.
