The technical definition of an "animal" on All-That-Is is "that which seeks out and devours other things which are, or have been alive." Compare to plants or life.
Animals can grow up to a certain size, which changes depending on the animal. As they grow, their toughness increases correspondingly. Animal experts generally divide the growth of an animal into twenty groups, known as "levels". A "level 1" rart, for instance, is 5% the size of a "level 20" rart. (level 20 is defined as the maximum growth of any animal)
Animals can be categorised in several different ways.
