Topic: Animal Crossing Character Species

Posted under Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions

When tagging an Animal Crossing character such as Beau, a "deer" villager, is it correct to omit "cervid" and only tag his species as "antelope/bovid/mammal," given that he is meant to be perceived as an antelope by design?

E621 uses TWYS, or Tag What You See, as it's tagging policy. If Beau looks like a deer, then they get tagged deer; if they look like an antelope, then they get tagged antelope and et cetera. Just because Animal Crossing uses certain species for villager classification doesn't mean they should get tagged as those species, just tag whichever they look the most like.
