If the Proposal “Bestiary of Best Buds” failed, this proposal has no effect.
Add a new subrule of “Demographics” titled “Attributes”:
There exist a number of Attributes, each of which represent a fundamental quality a living being can have. Each Monster Species has an Affinity for every Attribute, which is a positive integer from 0 to 9 and defaulting to 0. A Species’ Affinity for an Attribute represents its natural disposition towards that Attribute, where 0 represents a complete lack and 9 represents extreme natural ability. The table of all Attributes and their corresponding Affinities can be found below:
{| class="wikitable"
|+ Affinities
! Species || Constitution || Strength || Speed || Intellect || Perception
|-
| Demon || 9 || 9 || 9 || 9 || 9
|-
| Goblin || 3 || 3 || 3 || 5 || 6
|-
| Minotaur || 7 || 9 || 3 || 0 || 1
|-
| Ghost || 0 || 0 || 7 || 4 || 9
|-
| Vampire || 4 || 6 || 2 || 7 || 1
|-
| Slime || 9 || 3 || 5 || 1 || 2
|-
| Mimic || 3 || 8 || 8 || 1 || 0
|-
| Imp || 1 || 1 || 9 || 6 || 3
|-
| Elemental || 5 || 3 || 1 || 9 || 2
|-
| Wyvern || 4 || 5 || 5 || 5 || 1
|-
| Phoenix || 9 || 2 || 7 || 1 || 1
|}When a new Species is created, an entry for it is added to this table. If a Species ever has all its Affinities set to 0, the Demon King should set thematically appropriate values for its Affinities, ensuring the Affinities of the new Species sum to 20 when they are done.
Giving some personality to the different Species, so maybe eventually the effectiveness of actions might be influenced by the affinities of you/your migrants (digging might take strength and constitution, scouting might take speed and perception, making things might take intellect, etc). Hopefully I got the table formatting right!

I’d recommend having species’ characteristics *defaulting* to 0 instead of force setting the stats to all 0, so that proposal writers can self-determine their new species’ stats if they want, without being forced to leave it up to the Demon King
