More specific tags for monster NPCs


Monsters and Hazards


I've noticed that if a named monster has a stat block, in often can be difficult to know what type of monster it is just be going from the tags.

An example from Doomsday Dawn, part 1:

Drakkus the Taker is a Faceless Stalker. But his tags are

  • Aberration
  • Chaotic
  • Evil
  • Medium

There's no mention of Faceless Stalker anywhere in the stat block. You need to read the module text to understand what he is.

There's a similar issue with the second Pathfinder Society Playtest scenario, Raiders of Shrieking Peak. There's a named harpy, and the stat block in no way mentions that it is a harpy.

It should probably have the "harpy" tag, in the same way that goblins have the "goblin" tag.
