Introduction
The Zoology skill tree is factual—it has nothing to do with the beliefs of any culture—and as such this article should be interpreted accordingly as meta knowledge that your character or NPC's in the setting will very likely not have. In other words, it doesn't matter if the official Tindremic take on unicorns is that they fell from the sky, they may actually have come from Horses—and if so—the skill system reflects that.
It the case of Murnahās or Minotaurs and Bufonids, their respective classifications in the tree are cases of “what-matters-the-most” when it comes to genetics, the processes involved in their actual engendering, and their semi-conscious existence; for Mortal Online takes the concept of Akh into account. As a result of this, Sheut Taxonomy is very much in play as a major factor.
