Faunum

This page is a temporary stub, because the concept that it covered came up enough to be worth explaining but we haven't had time to write a full article about it. It will eventually be replaced by a more in-depth article.

A faunum (a back formation from "fauna") is a member of an etorical kingdom usually characterized by motility and heterotrophy. On Earth, the only macroscopic fauna are animals, but other worlds may have other faunal kingdoms.
