Topic: Tag Implication: feathered_crest -> crest

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

There are lots of types of crests, it's a pretty generic word for "things that stick out", it can also be an object put on-top of your head IIRC. But I don't really know the state of crest at this time to comment much on disambiguation nor implications.

membranous crest, maybe also bone crest for when it's the exo- or exposed skeleton, and... what about humanoids with crests? Skin crest?

Wouldn't membranous_crest work for "skin_crest"? Is it worth making a distinction? Which is also why I'd argue membranous_crest would work better than changing it to reptilian_crest, unless we're talking about some term specific reptilian term. There are also "sails" i.e. a "back crest" commonly found on some reptiles, but at which point "sail_(feature)" would probably be more appropriate anyway. Also we do have bone_crest it's used both for large skull protrusions as well as smaller "ridges".

Some various examples just for reference/discussion
