[edit] Animators and Necromancy
'Anita Blake and many of her associates are animators.' This is an erroneous statement: Anita is a necromancer. I propose we re-word the section. Animators and Necromancers appear to be different things. Or if they are the same thing, animation is a type of necromancy not the other way around.Jupiterzguy 23:23, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- I would disagree. They work for a company actually called Animators Inc. and in the earlier books Anita actually calls herself an Animator. Given the way the series has developed, I would argue that all necromancers are animators, but not all animators are necromancers. That point seems to be made repeatedly in later books when under circumstances where Anita goes to introduce herself as something else, someone says something like "that's not all you are" and makes her admit to the necromancy too. That would suggest to me that the necromancy is actually the unusual thing, not the animating. Silverthorn 08:46, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Non-Lycanthrope Shapeshifters
It says in the article that there may be non-lycanthrope shapeshifters, but there's no occurence in the books. That's not true. In one of the books, I think Lunatic Cafe or Circus of the Damned, There was a shapeshifter that was not a lycanthrope- the Naga. Also, I doubt that the Lamia is a Lycanthrope, as the venom is likely to kill you before the full moon (Which all Lycanthropes are tied to) and, even though Anita survived the Lamia attack, she did not turn into a giant snake at the full moon. We saw this in Circus of the Damned. Oliver also said that he believed Melanie to be the last Lamia (although this wasn't quite true, as she had a mate). 65.223.58.226 (talk) 23:43, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
