Species listing

@icey wicey 1517  
Ocean man, take me by the hand. Help me understand.

Tatzelwurm. Should imply original species, monster pony, maybe lamia or snake pony :D
 
Not to be confused with the tatzlwurm from the show. I based it on the actual feline-snake cryptid :P  

@Badumsquish  
This may just be me being nitpicky, but wouldn’t it make more sense to call it a “tatzelwurm pony” or somesuch? For the sake of clearness, mostly. A one-letter difference in species names sounds like the kind of thing that would work fine if you’re in the know, but would probably lead to some unfortunate mistagging or aliasing down the line.
 
EDIT: Ah, never mind, that would probably just lead with confusion with tatzlponies.
 
Also, there don’t appear to be any images under the linked tag.

@Frustration in Excelsis  
Maybe if more people were going to draw it, but I honestly doubt anyone other than me will ever draw them and I’ll probably draw it only a few more times at most. I want to keep it as-is too since it’s a direct reference to a mythological creature :D
 
(Link didn’t work since someone changed the tag to the misspelled “tatzelworm” which I changed back :D)

Should we add Ghost to the species tag?
 
Since we already have “Ghost pony” and that’s in the species tags as well.

@icey wicey 1517  
Hmm. I think so.
 
@Frustration in Excelsis  
Yeah, I think there may be some confusion regardless of what it’s named. So I think we should just go with the name Badumsquish chose for it instead.

Real quick thing. I’mma avoid making species implications for really small one-off tags (aside from official) because it’s a lot of extra work. If you have something specific in mind and think it would be worth it just poke me.
 
@icey wicey 1517  
Done
 
@icey wicey 1517  
I’m not sure that’s meant to be a species. >>2049988 says sea pony + some shark in there. I think they just meant it was a pony that lives in the ocean? I guess.
 
Derp. I just noticed it was your character. I’ll go ahead and make that a species tag then.
 
@Badumsquish  
That’s really cute. I made it a species tag and made a small description to help prevent confusion. I’m not sure the original species really applies since the origin is more mythical (though it definitely applies to your post), so I’m gonna leave that off for now.
 
@icey wicey 1517  
Undead is already, so it seems pretty applicable. While these aren’t exactly species it kind of manifests that way in art and it’s where people are going to look for them anyways. So sure, done + implied to undead.

@Parasprite  
Thanks :D

@Napsack  
Done

spaceship ponies needs to be colored, and it should probably imply hybrid and original species
 
Maybe pony and spaceship too

Half-yak , half-griffon and half-dragon should all be colored, and should also imply hybrid

@Damaged  
I’ll do object pony and spaceship.
 
@icey wicey 1517  
I’m not gonna make a judgement call on whether those should be moved to other tags, but I’ll at least make them species tags for you.

piñata pony
 
As a side note, can we get pinata pony aliased into this? You can’t write that type of n easily, and they already did the same for piñata.

@Napsack  
Sure, done.

These are all just 1-offs. No clue if you want to take the time to color them.
 
japanese giant hornet  
orb weaver spider  
wolf spider

@Damaged  
I won’t bother with implications but sure I’ll color em.
 
Done.

So how would I use this categorization in a search? Say I wanted to do a search for images that feature tatzlponies while excluding all other species, how would I construct such a search query?

@Toksyuryel  
First, you use the tag search to find all species tags that aren’t tatzlpony: category:species, -tatzlpony.
 
Then you take that list of (as of this moment) 1522 tags, go to regular image search and build a query searching for tatzlpony, excluding all other species tags:  
tatzlpony, -pony, -unicorn, -anthro, -pegasus, -alicorn, -earth pony, -human, -dragon, ..., -tirtouga
 
In other words, tag categories can only be used for tag searching.
 
And even if they were available for image search, these kinds of “one, but exclude all others” queries seldom work in any other way than manually listing everything. Since tatzlpony is a species, something like tatzlpony, -species:* would also end up excluding tatzlpony and always result in an empty set.

Some Star Wars species:  
lasat  
mirialan  
theelin  
zabrak  
zeltron

@Markiz93  
This is why we don’t let sci-fi name things anymore. :>
 
Checked and done.

Succublob should imply succubus and goo pony :D

@Badumsquish
