A blendec is supposedly a corrupted satyr with an eyeless goat's head. What I really want a description of is a Beak Dog. Haven't been able to find one in any of Threetoe's stories, but then, I haven't read them all.

I wouldn't mind in-game descriptions, either, but they're certainly not high-priority additions.

The mere ability to add such descriptions would suffice. Modders can take care of the texts, ThreeToe can look at them and correct, and then Toady might include them in a release.

Yes, I could look them up in wikipedia, however that's a significant amount of work on my part (and every other player) where a simple "It looks like a monkey and likes shinies" in game would give me enough info.  If I want more, sure I can go to wikipedia.
