A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

I apologize if I'm being overly semantic, but I did look up my question first (unfortunately not the Insight question, sorry) and was asking b/c even though the Creature keyword is equivalent to the Nonhuman keyword, is the Nonhuman keyword equivalent to the Creature keyword?
I ask b/c I remember in Lotus when several things (namely Onis and a few others) were Nonhuman but not considered to be Creatures.

Well, as a member of the "Legacy Council", who made the decision to enact the rule, let me explain:
For simplicty, the Creature keyword was made equivalent to the Nonhuman keyword. And, maybe the Legacy Wiki could be clearer, that doesn't just mean the bold keywords on Personality and Follower cards; it applies to ALL instances. That is, everywhere in game text that you see the keyword "Creature", read, "Nonhuman" (i.e. Radakast Exp, Way of the Zokujin, Strange Politics, etc.).
