By ‘animated’ or ‘drawn’ covers I meant something that looks like this
For ‘drawn’ -

For ‘animated’ ,

.
For ‘animated’ Basically, any covers which you think is something out of a 2d or 3D animated movie. (Basically imagine it as a scene from that movie)
OR
For ‘drawn’ something that looks like it has been hand drawn by a person
So the first one doesn’t count but the second one ‘renegades’ does.

I'm not a mod but this is my assumption. I think a book that has a mythical creature or fairies and stuff. So I guess an example would be Harry Potter and the prisoner of azkaban because of the dementors and Buckbeak the Hippogriff

No,
I mean there should be at least 2 non-human creatures.
It doesn’t have to be just mythical creature.
It can be any creature other than human.
They can be humans in the book but there should also be non human creatures.
Just to be clear, humans with powers or super humans are not allowed.

Yeah, I'm still pretty new to the group and using goodreads in general despite having it a long time, but I can be competitive so don't want to be too far behind because this sounds fun!
