1. You know, that's a good point with the animal wife motif! I'm going to rule that while it's more common for selkie to be waterfowl type of birds (since it's the water element), it is possible to have bird types that aren't strictly waterbirds- though because it is a water-element monster, try to pick birds that have some connection to water (like raptors that prefer to eat fish, or Kingfishers are fine). Basically birds that wouldn't be out of place in an environment with a lot of water.
2. In cases like that, due to the large variety between the elemental monster types- we're going to have each elemental monster count as a monster slot. For instance, while both vampires and mermaids both count as elves-- the difference between them is pretty large. So if someone wanted to have their shadow/water character be a vampire and a mermaid- the first monster slot would be for the vampire, while the second slot would be for the mermaid. Hope this makes sense!
3. For the base abilities with monsters, they apply to any of the compatible elemental monster types! If you want to have a salamander hop, that's fine (I was actually considering erasing the rabbit requirement for that)! As for angels, their wings can be ANY type of style that you want! you can go for the classic white wings, or you can have your angel have brightly colored parrot wings. They can even take on the appearance of non-standard angel wings (such as the ethereal wings w/ Tales of Symphonia angels or the tendril wings of the Diablo series Angels -- though the latter would require the purchase of tentacles at 2 points to make them fully prehensile). Basically we welcome people to be fully creative with how the monsters look!
As for the list of updates, we can certainly try to put more effort into including notable updates in these OOC posts. We usually try to do so, but sometimes stuff will get left off if it's particularly minor (like changing the pricing of a couple items, or adding singular new power) since we rather not have a large change log every month that'd take extra time to compile on top of everything else (the game is run by a team of volunteers who already put in a lot of unpaid hours just to keep the game running, so there's unfortunately a hard limit to what we can feasibly do).
That being said, since the discord now allows our server to do so, we have changed the announcement channel to be an discord announcement type channel that will automatically send out certain messages to other servers (which in Kaisou's case, it'd be announcements that affect the game at large rather than just the chat server). That way, if you share servers with other Kaisou players OR if someone in the server would rather mute the whole server -- you can set it up so you'll still receive relevant updates about the game.
