The Raimdelle Codex Alces

Once upon a time, I tried to crack the Raimdelle Codex using XIVMODELS. Not the entire thing mind you, but a simple, easy to understand chart that could be used to understand the bestiary as a whole (while I slooowly chugged away on the big-picture over at the wiki). Then, XIVMODELS stopped being a thing, like what, two weeks later (Patch 2.2)? I gave up and promised I'd keep working on it, and that I'd come back when I managed to get somewhere.

It took a long time and many trips through Square Enix's databases, fansite databases, chats with people who are still trying to get a modelviwer together, and more, but let's forget the nitty-gritty ambigiously-legitty details. I'm getting back on track! However, because I've had to make a lot of judgment calls, I've given it a subtitle to differentiate it from versions such as the one at the Stillglade Fane or the one behind Oda-san's false bookshelf.

Great Oschon's Raven, is that the same spreadsheet he was using in 2013?
No. Yes. Shut up.

Dear sweet merciful Twelve, would you fine loremongers like to help? We've got a new structure and we've got a new checklist, but we're still missing a few species. And a few names are surely not accurate. And I've probably made some mistakes. And new additions will come in every patch. But I think that it's well within our grasp, at last. And we have this beautiful lore forum to discuss it! (Huge thanks to Rocl, the first beta tester and professional tell-me-what-I-buggered-up technician.)

Let's finish what Raimdelle started.
(Also, I totally did end up cracking the Coblyns, again.)
