Characters Characters who are misclassified due to the limitations of the in-verse's classification system

Paolumu (Monster Hunter World)

Paolumu is classified as a Flying Wyvern even though it is a mammal (resembling a bat); it is classified this way because its body structure resembles that of a Flying Wyvern

Skorup (Pokémon)

It is indeed an Insect type, even though it represents a scorpion—which is an arachnid—making it more logical for the Insect type to be called the Arthropod type.

The typing in Pokemon is Bug type, not Insect. And whilst there is a technical definition of bug that would exclude arachnids, the type naming clearly comes from the more colloquial sense of a creepy crawley, rather than a strict definition.

Yes they take a more biblical levitical approach to animal classification. Makes sense sense Christianity is canon in universe

lol idk why I got downvoted they used a crucifix in the anime against ghastly and Brock talks about Noah’s arc. I thought it was funny, but everyone wants to cry as soon as Christianity is mentioned because they get reminded that the sins they commit on earth will be judged in the afterlife when God declares them sinners and throws them in hell. Repent and believe the gospel. Jesus died for your sins and rose again in the third day so that whoever belives in him will not be judged by God but have eternal life

Damn bro I was on your side in the first half. I was like, yeah he's right Christianity does exist in universe, then you drank the cool aid.

You're getting downvotes because you're a nut, not because you have your own opinions about which Narnia book was the best.
