Notes

Of course this Tree won't be 100% accurate, due to the software limitations and consistent updating of the actual phylogeny tree of our world.

The Tree, as far as I am aware, is still incomplete. There will always be something lurking around that I haven't stuffed in, so the chance of updates occuring is guaranteed.

This Tree uses white/dotted lines to repersent species that are unknown as to whether they belong in their respective groups or not. This can also signify further exploration into their classification in the ecological tree.

And you are free to make suggestions and give some constructive criticism. This does not mean I will follow through on these suggested changes.

This Tree serves both as a fun exercise for speculation and as a serious mapping of the evolutionary tree. However, it is to be taken lightly of course, since this isn't official and most likely never will be.

Not all orders will be represented, and there are two reasons for that: One, I've spent 40+ hours on this, so my patience has ran thin. And two, not every group is going to have a representative in the series, so we will have to see.

If a subspecies possesses a different name/appearance alteration beyond color-change, then the monster will just be considered a close relative.

If a family/superfamily possesses either 30+ genera with major lack of further taxonomy or information, only genera containing a species of note will be shown in the family/superfamily. So if one is confused as to why certain beetle families only show one genus when the birds have plenty showing and almost nothing in them, it's lack of info.
