Template:Creature/doc
{{Creature}} is for use in any article about any creature or monster in the Starfinder campaign setting. Some parameters are optional and can be left blank or omitted entirely; if undefined, these optional parameters will not appear as part of the template.
This template is based upon the Forgotten Realms Wiki Creature Template.

Usage
Use this infobox template for creature types, species, and unique non-sentient creatures. For unique sentient creatures, use the {{Person}} template.
Parameters
- image (optional)
- An image of the creature, using the standard File syntax. The recommended width is 250px, but if larger the image should scale to fit the template. For example, to add an image of a goblin, set this parameter's value to:
[[File:Goblin.jpg|250px|A goblin.]]
- name (optional)
- The name of the creature. If omitted, the template uses the article name by default.
- type
- The creature's type as defined in the Starfinder Roleplaying Game. Examples include Dragon, Humanoid, or Undead. For more information about creature types, consult the Bestiary (page 306) or the Starfinder Reference Document.
- subtype (optional)
- A more specific category for the creature in addition to type, as defined in the Starfinder Roleplaying Game. For example, a drow would fall under the Humanoid type and the elf subtype. For more information about subtypes, consult the Bestiary (page 310) or the Starfinder Reference Document.
- challenge
- The creature's Challenge Rating, as presented in its primary stat block.
- tier
- The creature's Starship Tier, if it is statted up as a starship.
- environment
- The environment in which the creature is most likely to be encountered. This is most often included in a creature's stat block, but can also be inferred from its description.
- drift
- The creature's Drift engine, if applicable.
- alignment
- Use the {{Alignment grid}} template to indicate the creature's usual alignments.
- adjective (optional)
- The adjective used to describe entities of or pertaining or relating to the creature.
- imagesof (optional)
- The name of the category that contains images of this creature, which appears in the infobox as a link to the category page. For instance, an imagesof value of goblins create a link to Category:Images of goblins with the link text "Images of goblins". This parameter is case-sensitive. If omitted, the infobox uses the article name suffixed by a single "s". To prevent the imagesof category link from appearing, add the parameter to the infobox but leave its value empty.
- source & page (optional)
- The source wherein the creature was first published, or from which the most information is available. Link the source's title, and include a page number if possible.
