Errr... blame fridge, who wrote: "There is also grammar errors in the actual description of the creature as well". It would be anal retentive to point out that he should have written "There are also grammar errors...", but I didn't do that.

If you're going to fix something that's broken, you don't get to change it into something completely different from your own imagination. You just apply the bandaid and move on. It's one thing to claim typos on the desc (there was nothing that scary, but I offered a correction to easily paste in anyway), and perhaps to report that it is of the wrong material- or race- type (perhaps suggest a replacement type?).

However, if there's a problem with having a pet made of water that has to do with game mechanics and some kind of unfair advantage, let me know and I'll move this thread to the Gameplay forum and you can debate it all you like.

As for the SHORT field containing the wrong text, that's something that should be fixed at the same time as the description is. But again, how about offering some suggestions?

My grammar is fairly bad at times, and to be honest I didn't even notice that the description had grammar issues until after someone else pointed them out to me. The corrections look fine to me.

As for the short description, I would change it from "This creature is made of water." to "A watery tentacle seeps through here." or something like that. I feel it should be more of an action description rather then a description of the animal itself since all of that can be put in the animals large description.

I didn't suggest something previously because it looked like more of a mistake to me then something that just lacked an alternative idea for a description. I figured that if it was a mistake, who ever made the creature had an idea for a short description already.
