Crinitidae
From the Latin crīnis, meaning hair or plume, + idae, a translingual suffix commonly used in taxonomy to denote a subclass of family.
The crinitidae is a large taxonomic group that includes magions characterized by bodies covered with fur, feathers, or both. They are often assumed to be mammals or birds at first glance, but - as is often the case with magions - definitions from non-magical biology rarely fit well.
Because the crinitidae is a large group, it has subdivisions of Plumatidae: with bodies covered by feathers, and Pilosidae: with bodies covered by fur. Some crinitidae have both feathers and fur and therefore do not belong to either subdivision and their taxonomy chart will only include the crinitidae classification.
