Subject: [PATCH] feat: display creature type on target frame
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Show creature classification (Beast, Humanoid, Demon, etc.) next to the
level on the target frame. Useful for knowing which CC abilities apply
(Polymorph → Humanoid/Beast, Banish → Demon/Elemental, etc.).
