Parameter Notes
name Creature name to display in top header. May be wikilinked. Italicise if this is the taxonomic name rather than the common name.

If listing episodes they may be linked to the episode in the episode list using "[[List of Primeval episodes#epn|epname]]", where "n" equals the episode number and "epname" is the episode name.

last_new_world Last appearance of the creature in Primeval: New World. May be wikilinked as shown in the instructions for "|appeared=" above.
