Aberrations?

Tiny note here. Apparently Paladins' Turn Evil and Warlocks' Banish will now affect "Aberrations" in addition to Demons and Undead/Elementals respectively.

As you are likely aware, Aberration is not a creature type that exists in-game, though we can probably be confident that it will appear. The current creature types are: Beast, Humanoid, Elemental, Undead, Giant, Demon, Dragonkin, Mechanical and Critter.

However, there are a large numbers of "unclassified" creatures out there, such as Oozes, Slimes, and Old Gods. I would suspect that these weird, wrong things will likely be given the Aberration type.

On the other hand, despite the fact that Worgen have the racial ability Aberration, they will presumably continue to be classified as humanoid, much the way that playable Undead are considered Humanoids rather than Undead, and Tauren, despite being cow-people, are considered humanoids instead of Critters.
