Sanctum Animals

Scripture: Job 12:7. The Sanctum animal principle: one animal, one base model, not a thousand variants inflated to look like a large catalog. 1.8 million species are now indexed in the platform DB from the full GBIF Animalia Backbone, live dynamic pages at /sanctum-wiki-animals/{slug}. Biblical animals named in Scripture receive concept development priority. Hebrew: וְֽאוּלָם שְׁאַל־נָא בְהֵמוֹת וְתֹרֶךָּ וְעוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם וְיַגֶּד־לָֽךְ׃

Every claim in the animal archive carries an evidence tier, nothing outruns its proof.

Index means the species is cataloged in the GBIF-backed taxonomy reference (~1.8M rows); no individual wiki page yet.

Canon means the creature is named in Scripture, lion, eagle, serpent, dove, leviathan, behemoth, with verse citations where applicable.

Concept means a Theia A100 concept sheet or visual study exists; art is not claimed as game-ready, GLB-imported, or playable.

Model means a 3D mesh has been generated, reviewed, and passes load/render quality, a separate documented proof pass.

Playable means in-engine with animation, collision, and AI behavior, the highest tier; very few entries qualify today.

Concept means visual identity established, silhouette, coloring, distinctive features documented. Model means a 3D mesh has been generated, reviewed, and passes the load/render quality bar. Playable means the model is in-engine with working animation, collision, and AI behavior. Most catalog animals are at Index or Concept stage. A small number are in the Model pipeline. Playable claims require a separate documented proof pass.

The animal catalog is not just a game asset list, it is an act of praise. Every species in the living world is a word in YHWH's vocabulary of creation. The Sanctum database catalogs the whole vocabulary, even entries that will never become game assets, because the completeness itself is a form of worship. Dave reasons across the entire catalog in the Creation Atlas; the game is the place where a fraction of it becomes inhabitable.
