Okay, so the SR4 core rulebook provides the taxonomical names for the most common metatypes (humans are Homo sapiens sapiens, elves are Homo sapiens nobilis, etc.). Runner’s Companion provides the taxonomical names for the various infected (for example, Vampires are Homo sapiens sapiens vrykolakas), but not for any of the common metavariants (giants, ogres, dryads, etc.).

So my question is: does anyone know if the taxonomical designations for the common metavariants have been officially printed, or even officially decided? I can’t seem to find them.

The only other taxonomical term I have come across until now was somewhere in Unwired (or was it Emergence?) where someone used the term 'homo electro-sapiens' (ie technomancer).

Okay, that's what I was wondering.

And thanks FastJack, that's a few more that I didn't have.
