Implicating exceed → cat

"Exceed are a race of cat-like beings..." http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Exceed

• Implication: exceed -> fairy_tail (pending)
• Implication: happy_(fairy_tail) -> fairy_tail (pending)
• Implication: pantherlilly -> fairy_tail (pending)
• Implication: carla -> fairy_tail (pending)
• Implication: lector -> fairy_tail (pending)

If Happy and Lector (and maybe others? I don't know anything Fairy Tail) are all Exceed, then shouldn't Happy_(Fairy_Tail) and Lector imply Exceed rather than Fairy_Tail? You'd get the Fairy_Tale tag either way, if Exceed implied Fairy_Tail.

Am I missing something?

They do look like regular anthro cats, but the implication might be problematic.

For instance, Happy has been depicted as a dragon even in the canon. ^{_{They thought they found a dragon egg, but instead it hatched into a winged cat.}}

Nah. We almost never imply characters to species because they tend to cause too many issues (it doesn't hurt to mention ponification right now).

I don't know much about the series, but would they still end up getting tagged exceed, or is this more of a feral_druid sort of problem?

Though it does bring up the point that it might be better to imply feline instead, just to be safe.

Shouldn't they implicate to feline instead?

It's been a while since I read those.
I think it was kind of a imaginary form, and it might've never been even mentioned after Happy's origin story. (They expected the egg to hatch a dragon, so he was drawn as a dragon.)

The tags seem to check out, so I've made the following changes:

• Implication: exceed -> cat (denied)
• Implication: exceed -> feline (approved)
• Implication: exceed -> fairy_tail (approved)
• Implication: happy_(fairy_tail) -> fairy_tail (approved)
• Implication: pantherlily -> fairy_tail (approved)
• Implication: carla_(fairy_tail) -> fairy_tail (approved)
• Implication: lector_(fairy_tail) -> fairy_tail (approved)
