I noticed that if you choose the "hero" type variant of any creature in the dropdown of [[Special:RunQuery/Random_Name|Random Name]], like "Ape hero" or "Bird hero", the output always includes <code>*CreatureType*</code> or <code>*CreatureTypeCap*</code> in the output string. For example, when generating a "Bird hero", you will get something like this: '''''Ca-caw-caaaaaaaw the Songstress, brooding *CreatureType*'''''.

I noticed that if you choose the "hero" type variant of any creature in the dropdown of Random Name, like "Ape hero" or "Bird hero", the output always includes *CreatureType* or *CreatureTypeCap* in the output string. For example, when generating a "Bird hero", you will get something like this: Ca-caw-caaaaaaaw the Songstress, brooding *CreatureType*. Not sure how easy it would be to replace that placeholder with an actual creature name or not (like "glowcrow" in this example), but might be nifty if it did.
