This is a hot-button issue apparently, so, let's discuss them.

"@

 
[`
Scalie@":`](/tags/scalie) and "@[`Avian@":`](/tags/avian) being the big two, and as far as I know, there are no others, and nothing for mammalian creatures, which could be @`Furry@` but no one agrees on that.


 
A related issue is how I previously made a statement that no Pokemon/Digimon/Neopets/Whatever fictional species should NOT imply IRL species (or scale or avian) and that being ignored on several tags.


 
So, let's discuss. Do we want supertags for scaled and featured creatures? What about furred? Should they be implications? Should they only be implications for fictional species? (not mons) Should they just be tagged when taggers want to? Should we nuke them and just let things forge naturally? Are toucans the best kind of birds?


 
Do note that "well X and Y sites use them like THIS an THAT" are not valid arguments. They can be examples and are good to cite, but they are not argument enders. Just because e621 or Wikifur does a thing one way does not mean _*we_* need to.
Reason: typos and grammar errors
