Improved Vanilla Creatures
Improved creatures are creatures that remains vanilla (removing the mod doesn't remove the creature, as it doesn't modify any core files), but get some changes trough a permanent buff. Tamed creatures from before the mod must be uploaded or cryopoded to get this new changes. Below are the improved creatures and what changes it has:

Astrocetus: Now breedable by gestation.
Basilisk: Now breedable by eggs.
Dung Beetle: Now breedable by gestation, non gendered, works like Achatina.
Griffin: Now breedable by eggs, non gendered, works like Maewing.
Karkinos: Now breedable by eggs.
Noglin: Now breedable by gestation.
Phoenix: Now breedable by egg, non gendered, works like Maewing.
Rock Elemental: Now breedable by gestation, non gendered, works like Achatina.
Titanoboa: Now breedable by eggs, non gendered, works like Maewing.

New Abilities (only works in tamed ones):

Araneo: Now will produce 500 Silk in its inventory each 20 minutes, also have 20% increased Attack, Health and Speed.
Basilisk: Now doesn't take fall damage anymore, also by holding Jump Button will reduce a bit its fall speed.
Crystal Wyverns: Now have 2 new options in Radial Menu, first one to redeem some Primal Crystals each hour, second option to convert itself in a Crystal Wyvern Heir of the same original Element.
Dung Beetle: Now will auto collect poop from the ground.
VoidWyrm: Now will produce 5 Elements in its inventory each hour.
Wyverns: Now will produce 5 Wyvern Milk in its inventory each hour (female only).

Can you clear up some confusion? We see here this:
"Remapped creatures are creatures that remains vanilla (removing the mod doesn't remove the creature, as it doesn't modify any core files), but get some changes trough a permanent buff."

But; remapped files by definition are files that replace their vanilla counterparts, and just giving vanilla things a buff is thus not remapping. So, are they remapped, or are they buffed?

Budy, remap is an action to implement some changes, it doesn't mean change everything, as the buff is changing some or many of its atributes.

A remap is not any kind of change. The name already comes from a certain object, in this case a creature, being mapped to a new file. A buff doesn't remap as it uses the old mapping. It's also why the PGD specifically uses the word 'remap' in the arrays used to replace things, but not in the array for default buffs.

Ok, then buff creatures or changed, all the same to me. The creatures are buffed to breed and gain some new stats buffs abilities. Now will the world fall apart if I use remap instead of buff or something like this? I'm using my mods to learn how to use UE, I don't know the technical terms modders use (and don't care too), to me what matters is to bring some changes that I think could be already applied to vanilla creatures in PVE, and some cut or unusable stuff to game. So don't waste your time with me and go play Ark or something else, or go modding, go eat some snacks, I don't know, your choice.

It may be all the same to you, but this is part of your documentation, it has to be clear to others too. For compatibility reasons it matters to players whether a creature is remapped or only buffed.
