Images where the original artist has not been contacted

• File:Giant_rat.jpg, used in giant rat, has apparently originally appeared in Wizards of the Coast's Monster Manual for Dungeons and Dragons fourth edition, based on Forgotten Realms wiki. No artist attributed, even though it is uploaded with Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license.
• File:Tapir_man.jpg: credits bionictoast, the source is seemingly this reddit post.
• File:Kestrel_woman.png, used in kestrel man: credits Kaivris, and the original artwork is seemingly this on reddit by a redditor of the same name. Unclear whether it is the same person as this kaivris.
• File:Giant_Badger.jpg: original artwork made by Christopher Burdett for Paizo Publishing's Pathfinder Companion: Gnomes of Golarion.
• File:Magma_crab.png: credits Piper.t, by art and signature I am quite sure Cryptid Creations on DeviantArt is the original artist. As their oldest art on the account is from 2012, it is probably this piece was made before that and thus not visible.
• File:Necromancer_tower.jpg, used in Tower (necromancy): credits James Morgan. This is the probable original artwork on ArtStation, but strangely the images are not quite the same.
• File:Giant_olm.jpg: credits Michael Brissie, this is the original artwork.
• File:Beak_dog_killed.jpeg, used in beak dog: credits Kruggsmash, the original artwork is this Patreon reward. While a general question was asked to Kruggsmash about his art (see giant cave toad above), this being a Patreon reward it should be asked about specifically.

• File:Dwarf_army2.jpg credits conorburkeart, who is on DeviantArt, but who has seemingly deleted all their art somewhat recently. Claimed license is cc-by-sa-3.0, but as the original artwork page isn't available, this can't be checked.

Unknown original artist

• File:Animal_people_prev.jpg, used in animal people. No artist credited. The image is spread across the Internet, and other people outside this wiki also mention the fact that the original artist can't be found.
• File:Gray_parrot_man.jpg, previously used on grey parrot man, and credited Kitty Eva'ros, though this track seemingly only leads to a Pinterest user of the same name with a bird-person album, and Pinterest accounts are seldom sources. Similarly to the previous image, this one seems so widespread it's impossible to find the original artist.
• File:Recluse_spider_man.jpg: credits Jim-Cacclabando-Jr, but neither this person or the source of this picture could be found.
• File:Dwarf_temple.jpg, found in temple: credits Kim Sung Min. The only thing I could find on this was this Pinterest post, by image searching "dwarf temple". Kim Sung Min may or may not be the name of the original artist, it also being the name of an actor makes the search difficult. The original image appears to be at ArtStation, as all pinterest posts link there, but it was deleted.
• File:Pickaxe_transparent.png (photo) claims Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license, yet doesn't attribute anyone. The image appears a lot on different websites, at least from 2012, but no author is seemingly ever credited.
• File:Sedimentary_layer.jpg (photo) Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 3.0, yet doesn't attribute anyone. Reverse image searches find results on stock photo websites, but all links appear dead. The photo is taken from a well-known sandstone formation, so finding a replacement picture from Wikimedia Commons would be an easy task. Britannica lists it as coming from Getty Images, by Jeremy Woodhouse.
• File:Dwarf_magic.jpg. Unused image. Claimed license Creative Commons Attribution 3.0, but there is no attribution.
• File:Dwarf_book.jpg might be from Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay: Book of Grudges (3rd edition), based on Warhammer wiki. Claimed as a videogame screenshot.
