Topic: Ailurid / Red Pandaren

Posted under General

Red Pandas are Ailurid, and this tag works properly. But when it's a warcraft-themed "Red Pandaren" it auto-tags ursid, which isn't correct. Unless- is this because Red Pandarens are sort of hybrid giant-panda/red-pandas and therefore both Ailurid and Ursid?

They have traits of both ailurids and ursids imho; in fact the fur color and tail are the only thing really ailurid-like, they look like long tailed bear things to me personally.

Ailurid isn't implied because sometimes the traits aren't seen in a post BUT they are quite clearly ursid-like pandarens. So ailurid is a situational tag that sometimes but not always applies imho

I agree- most of the time Red Pandarens look ursid. But sometimes artists draw them as full Red Pandas, so the Ursid tag would be wrong, but it stays because the Red_Pandaren tag forces the Ursid tag.
