TAXONOMICAL TREE OF LIFE
EUKARYA - Complex Cellular orginisation 
PLANTS - Photosynthetic and contain a green pigment called chlorophyll
MOSSES - Mosses are non-flowering plants which produce spores and have stems and leaves, but don't have true roots
Andreaeopsida - Andreaeopsida grow on siliceous rocks, and are distributed throughout the world predominantly in colder climates, such as at higher elevations or at higher latitudes. The species in this class are typically blackish to dark reddish-brown and form short and brittle brittle tufts or turfs .
Andreaeobryopsida - This is a small, cool-climate class of siliceous-rock- dwelling mosses (Schofield 1985), again with only one genus, but with approximately 100 species. They are typically blackish or reddish, brittle, and short
Sphagnopsida - The class Sphagnopsida is distinguished by leaves that are one cell thick and mostly possessing two types of cells – photosynthetic cells that possess chloroplasts and that form a network arrangement, and hyaline (colorless) cells that are dead at maturity, have one or more pores
Polytrichopsida - Members of this family tend to be larger than other mosses with a thickened central stem and a rhizome. The leaves have a midrib that bears lamellae on the upper surface. Species in this group are dioicous. Another characteristic that identifies them is that they have from 32 to 64 peristome teeth in their sporangium.
Takakiopsida - Individual leaves are deeply lobed into 2-4 lobes and tapered at each apex. Further, the leaves are tristratose aiding in the cylindrical shape of leaves. Microscopically, the leaves contain oil droplets, common to liverworts (not mosses) .
Bryopsida - spore capsules with teeth that are arthrodontous; the teeth are separate from each other and jointed at the base where they attach to the opening of the capsule. Consequently, mosses in the Class Bryopsida are commonly known as the “joint-toothed” or “arthrodontous” mosses
CONIFERS - All but 15 types of conifers are evergreen, one of the familiar characteristics of this group of plants. They grow with a straight, central trunk bearing circles of horizontal branches, and the branching may become increasing complex as the tree gets older. Conifers also have a wide variety of distinctive bark.
Pinopsida - freely branching trees or shrubs with relatively dense wood and clusters of small, narrow leaves
FERNS- Similar to flowering plants, ferns have roots, stems and leaves. However, unlike flowering plants, ferns do not have flowers or seeds; instead, they usually reproduce sexually by tiny spores or sometimes can reproduce vegetatively, as exemplified by the walking fern
Polypodiopsida - The Polypodiopsida includes the horsetails and ferns. These plants produce leaves with branching veins of vascular tissue called megaphylls. Like the lycophytes, asexual reproduction of the sporophyte can be accomplished via rhizomes
Marattiopsida - Class Marattiopsida giant ferns Vascular plants; mostly massive, fleshy ferns; leaves pinnately divided, pulvinate (enlarged or swollen at attachment point of leaflets) in extant genera, and with well-developed fleshy stipules (appendages at leaf base); sporangia eusporangiate, i
Psilotopsida - Whisk ferns (Class Psilotopsida) are not true ferns, but plants with shrub-like appearance that are closely related to ferns
Equisetopsida - General features. Sphenophytes, fossil and living, characteristically have whorled leaves and branches and conspicuously jointed stems, which in many cases are also ribbed. Reproductive structures are present in the form of greatly compressed stems called cones, or strobili, which form at the ends of branches.
FUNGI - Non-vascular, non-motile and heterotrophic organisms.
PROTISTS - Nuclear membranes around DNA
ANIMALS - Specialized tissues
MOLLUSKS - mantle with a significant cavity used for breathing and excretion
Bivalvia - possessing two shells secreted by a mantle that extends in a sheet on either side of the body
Chiton - flattened, elongately-oval, with eight overlapping dorsal shell plates or valves, bordered by a thick girdle formed from the mantle that may be covered with spines, scales, or hairs
Cephalopod - a completely merged head and foot, with a ring of arms and/or tentacles surrounding the head
Gastropods - a large foot with a flat sole for crawling, a single coiled shell that covers the soft body, and a head that bears a pair of eyes and tentacles
ARTHROPODS - exoskeleton, bi-lateral symmetry, jointed appendages, segmented bodies, and specialized appendages -
Arachnid - The spiders are characterized by having four pairs of legs and the cephalothorax and abdomen (typically unsegmented) joined by a narrow pedicel
Millipede - Millipedes have two pairs of short legs on each body segment, a rounded body, and a hard external skeleton
Centipede- Centipedes have long antennae and their back legs are nearly as long as their antennae
Insects - Arthropods are characterised by having the following features: a hard external skeleton (called a exoskeleton) a segmented body. at least three pairs of jointed legs.
PORIFRIA - pore-bearing multicellular animals
Calcareous Sponges - calcareous sponge, any of a class (Calcarea) of sponges characterized by skeletons composed entirely of calcium carbonate spicules (needlelike structures).
Homoscleromorpha - Homoscleromorpha is now recognized as the fourth class of sponges. Homoscleromorphs have an extremely poor fossil record due to their tiny spicules and encrusting forms, which rarely preserve well. They have a leucon body plan and small tetraxon spicules.
Glass Sponge - All glass sponges are upright, and possess specialized structures at their bases for holding fast to the ocean floor
Stromatoporoidea - Stromatoporoids have an organized structure made up of layers called laminae. Between laminae are vertical structures called pillars and little distinct chambers called galleries
Demosponge- They range in size from small, encrusting forms, through to large irregular masses. They have spicules (tiny needle-like structures that support the body's form) of silica dioxide and/or spongin.
ECHINODOMATA - a water vascular system and five-sided radial symmetry
Sea urchins- The spherical, hard shells (tests) of sea urchins are round and spiny, ranging in diameter from 3 to 10 cm (1 to 4 in)
Sea cucumber - The soft cylindrical body, 2 to 200 cm (about 0.75 inch to 6.5 feet) long and 1 to 20 cm (0.4–8 inches) thick, is usually a dull, dark colour and often warty, thus resembling a cucumber
Starfish - Hard plates under their skin instead of a backbone. Spines or spicules covering the top (or dorsal) surface. Hundreds of tube feet, which help feeding and movement.
CHORDATA - notochord, a dorsal hollow nerve cord, pharyngea l slits, and a post-anal tail
Avian - feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweight skeleton
Mammals - have hair or fur; are warm-blooded; most are born alive; the young are fed milk produced by the mother's mammary glands; and they have a more complex brain than other animals
Amphibians - have a backbone, are cold-blooded, need a moist place to live, can breathe air through their skin, externally fertilize their eggs, eat meat, and grow legs when they mature
Reptiles - Their bodies are completely covered with scales :
Fish - Water, Gills, Fins, Backbone
Cyclostomes - dorsal hollow nerve tube and visceral
CNIDARIA - tentacles with stinging nematocytes
Scyphozoa - They have radial symmetry and are diploblastic
Box jellyfish - pale blue and transparent in color and get their name from the cube-like shape of their bell.
Anthozoa - polyps with a flower-like appearance
Hydrozoa - hydrozoan species have a planktonic larval stage called a planula
MEDUSOID - extinct organisms that are superficially similar to jellyfish that lived during the end of the Precambrian
BRACHINA - Profane Attributes: Brachina gain a +2 bonus to Charisma at 1st, 5th, and 10th level. They also receive a +1 bonus to Dexterity at 7th level. Infernal Immunity: At 3rd level, the Brachina's immunity to fire increases to 50%. This bonus increases to 75% at 6th level and 100% at 10th level.
