The Bestiary Puzzler

Follow the clues to unveil 33 characters hidden among nearly 19,000 bestiary entries in the database. Unscramble these 33 characters to form a phrase.

Characters can be letters, punctuation, or blank spaces.

Some notes to keep in mind:
-Numbers have been added to each of the bubbles. They correspond with the clue number.
-Spaces and punctuation are in the order which they belong (i.e. if the fifth clue leads you to a space, there is a space in the fifth spot of the scramble; likewise for punctuation).
-Letters are scrambled.
-Letters which belong at the beginning of a word are YELLOW while all others are BLACK.
-The first clue is answered as an example of what to look for. It is included in the unscramble.

This will be a bit more of a challenge than our bestiary easter egg hunt this past March. And unlike then, there is no set time limit. So, listen closely, and be taken down memory lane. Have at it!

17. Life-sized, or rather unlife-sized; confined to a single shade

(Personally I thought this would have been #16 and not #17)

14. Seeking aid on the front battle line

Side Question:

Can someone explain to me how an ICE GIANT can be considered "Double a Hill Giant"? I mean something like "Huge Diamond" might be a bit obvious, but at least it makes more sense (to me).

12. Timeless shades of Frozen Shadow

OK only found this one because I was looking at P3 names in Time since my guild just started raiding there. =P

We only have 4 more left to find as of SATURDAY 12:00 PM PST. I will write about where my thoughts have been so that maybe it will help someone else think of possibilities. These are not the right ideas, just where the clues make my mind wander to.


27. New recruit or change in identity? : Acolyte? Alias? Newbie? Noob? (other synonyms - apprentice, convert, initiate, neophyte, novice, volunteer, turncoat, conscript, servant, servitor, etc.)(am stumped again)

28. Next! : Considering the use of the Beastiary numbers, I wonder if NEXT means the next beast numerically after the solution to 27?
