I've had some posts that are similar, and have done the same thing - 
where they talked about little-mentioned beings or beasties, I just 
put them under the main 'Beings' or 'Beasts' header codes, using 
FB&WTFT as reference for which category was appropriate.

I thought that if any individual one of them started to attract many 
posts/threads, we could go back and re-code the ones we had bundled 
away, and pull them out under a new sub-category.

On Ernie, I'll add him, as he does come up from time to time.

Here's some more posts: 22001-22250.
