Axiomatic Creature
Axiomatic creatures dwell on lawful planes, the domains of order. Although they may resemble creatures from the Material Plane, they are more perfectly formed, their features sharper and more precise, their fur or plumage shinier, their appearance clearer and more heroic. They are often called "perfect" creatures, and some say that the axiomatic versions are the true and ideal first models, of which all other creatures of the type are merely imitations.
