Talk:Urobian

Merge (RESOLVED)

The only place that mentions the term urobian (that I have seen) in the first Bestiary, where this word is described as the monitor equivalence to aasimar for celestials and tiefling for fiends. However, as it currently stands, 'urobians' are little more than a wastebasket taxon gathering creatures that share as many similarities with each other as they do with aasimars and tieflings (namely aphorites, duskwalkers and ganzi); unlike aasimars descended from different types of celestials and tieflings descended from different types of fiends, each type of urobian is treated as a heritage in their own right. I think that this term does not really need a whole article, and can be accounted for by moving its entire content (one single sentence) to the planar scion page. - HTD (talk) 16:16, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

I'll assume if there's no comment in the next week that it is acceptable to merge the contents of this article into planar scion and make relevant changes to other articles. - HTD (talk) 01:20, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

This makes sense to me. I agree with the merge idea. --Brandingopportunity (talk) 16:31, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

if you move it, can you keep the categories on the redirect please to maintain the category tree structure? --Fleanetha (talk) 15:54, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

I'm not sure I understand what the latter part means. Isn't the planar scion page already in Category:Planar scions? - HTD (talk) 09:01, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Article content merged with planar scion, as requested, with some errors on both pages corrected (duskwalkers, for once, are explicitly described to be something else, and not descendants of psychopomps). - HTD (talk) 14:33, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

Split

The rationale for the merge takes a dent thanks to War of Immortals retconning in changes to split kjosa from ganzis, and adding proteankin and aeonbound lineages—all explicitly neither cambion nor empyrean, and all related to monitors. A parallel grouping for monitors already stated in a canon source gets some value back.

Along with a Paizo staff confirmation of its intent, I've brought the split back to wrangle these new additions. -Oznogon (talk) 23:39, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
