SCAN METHOD

A record counts when a named being or distinct creature class appears or is explicitly referenced. Generic animals, metaphors, unnamed one-scene fauna, human factions, places, and substances are excluded. Names that the series merges or reframes remain separate only when that helps readers understand the source tradition.
