I'm kind of curious as to the number of distinctly different, ostensibly living, entities that people encounter in their ventures.

Personally I've encountered all of six different 'creatures' that I immediately deemed to be living; most were relatively humanoid and devoid of facial features (bar the first one, which looked a LOT like Indra). And one notable entity was a silhouetted humanoid, much like my most common creature, but it stood taller, had an elongated skull (not unlike the eponymous Alien in the movies) and a long tail, perhaps 1.5 meters long, tipped as a rattle snake's would be.

I have only encountered one entity, It was humanoid and female. It was similar to a fairy.

I have only smoked once.

personally i would ignore the ones described by in the Alternative NGC_2264's classification section

There was a topic named "have you seen this entity?"
the topic of discussion was if these entities are real
It got quite heated
Look it up if you want
