It looks like Ehlnofey in ESO use some sort of existing model, like Dringoth, who inhabits a skeleton. Goradir and Olphras both use some sort of skeleton/skull model. I think I'd classify them all as creatures.

I would consider both Lamia and Tsaesci to be creatures (same with Lilmothiit, Tang Mo, and Ka Po' Tun); the only Akaviri whom I'd describe as characters for the time being are the human ones, like Akaviri Commander Mishaxhi in Oblivion.

I guess I see what you're saying about rieklings/goblins, but they strike me much more as creatures than characters. Goblins are classified as creatures in the Oblivion and Morrowind Construction Sets, and rieklings are classified as creatures in Morrowind ' s as well, so under the guidelines I proposed above, I think they'd be creatures.

Now that I think about it, we may be getting into overly subjective territory with sentience/sapience. Perhaps that would require too much guesswork on our part. I think that dragons would fall into the "everything else" category, as would factotums.

I agree that Spiderkith, Herne, Xivkyn, Skaafin should be considered characters due to their very humanoid features. Dark Seducers and Golden Saints are defined as characters in the Oblivion CS. However, Xivilai are classified as creatures in there.
