I made this for Tidy Tuesday, which is an initiative by the Data Science Learning Community (DSLC). It’s not perfect but Tidy Tuesday has more of a focus on learning than outcomes. But overall I’m happy with the end result for this one.

Dragons are basically extreme people, in the sense of being characters that can have the full range of human emotions and motivations. That’s why they are found in the four corners. They also tend to be big, strong, and smart.
Most of the other types of monster are sort of specific in their character, eg undeads tend to be evil.
