Make sure to never link to a Wikipedia article in the in-universe section of a Wookieepedia article. Only other in-universe Star Wars articles can be linked. In this case, you could redlink filial cannibalism or just link to cannibalism.- Done. "Filial cannibalism" isn't mentioned in the book, so I just linked to cannibalism.
Per the Layout Guide, "Description" shouldn't be used for species articles. The info that's currently in "Description" should be split into two sections, "Biology and appearance" and "Behavior and intelligence."- Done.
I think it would be fair to assert that this guy is a kind of dog, just by linking to the word dog in the article instead of including it in a "see also" section. If we can assert that that blob fish is a kind of fish, the Belly-bird is a kind of bird, and that Banja cake is a kind of cake, it seems logical to assert that the early death dog is a kind of dog.- If I may intervene, is a prairie dog a dog? --LelalMekha (talk) 16:05, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
Hair color: none? He looks pretty hairy to me.- If I may intervene once again, the books explicitely says hairless, despite the picture is not. --LelalMekha (talk) 16:05, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
- Correct. As far as we know, it could be a substance that emulates the look of hair, like spider chitin.
- Weird. Since it does look very much like hair, though, it might be worth noting the discrepancy between the text and the picture in the "Behind the scenes" section. Menkooroo (talk) 03:48, February 21, 2013 (UTC)

Looks like it has some red and blue skin on its face, too. Can you give those colors some love in the infobox and article body?- Done. I went for a more formal term.
Since Mortar (unit) has an article, I think "league" should get one too.- Got.
The intro seems disproportionately small to the size of the article. Can you beef it up some?- Beefed. Is that better?
The intro says "south of the Troon" while the article body just says "south of Troon." Can you choose one and stick with it?- Stuck.
- This article is hilariously wonderful. Keep up the Monsters and Aliens noms. Menkooroo (talk) 15:38, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review, Menk! Stake black msg 17:11, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
Attack of the Clone
Very minor, but the intro states the "first year," while "Behavior and intelligence" says "first years," which aren't the same. Please clarify.CC7567 (talk) 22:02, February 22, 2013 (UTC)- Done. Stake black msg 16:18, February 23, 2013 (UTC)

I'd suggest merging the two intro paragraphs, as they're short.- Personally I don't think it looks as good, but that's all right. Stake black msg 16:19, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
"a lumbarless spine, in the process de-evolving, in comparison with other species" - I have no idea what the "de-evolving" part means. What are you trying to say here? Good work otherwise.

Not all of the images in Monster and Aliens are concept art. This is an original painting for the book that doesn't appear anywhere else as far as I know. ~Savage 16:07, February 23, 2013 (UTC)- How is it now? Stake black msg 16:18, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
Does the OS mention the two claws, two paws thing? Paws and claws are not mutually exclusive; cats have both, for instance.- Yes, specifically.
Instead of the massive "other body features" sentence, could you break that up into several more manageable sentences?- Sure thing.
The image suggests some other stuff to mention in the Biology and appearance section: they were quadripeds, they had a pink tongue and gums.- Done.
Mention that they like to scratch trees in the Behavior section? ~Savage 15:07, February 24, 2013 (UTC)- Done. Stake black msg 15:55, February 24, 2013 (UTC)
