Scavenging Creatures

There are some creatures which I think only exist in scavenging caves. How should we represent them in this template? For instance, look at Potion of the Slayer - the drop creature is obviously wrong, but before I fix it (remove scavenging) we should figure out a good representation in the creature template.

1. Suggestion 1: just use the area and write Mystic Cave or Ancient Cave there. Pro's: no need to change template, Con's: We need to know which of the cave the creatures are found (I've no idea and I never scavenge)
2. Suggestion 2: Add parameter 'scavenging' with 'yes/no' value and output that its a scavenging creature somewhere on the generated creature page. Pros: we can fix all broken creature links without knowing which cave they exist in. Con: need change in template + it might be useful to actually know which cave to look in.
3. Suggestion 3: Create a completely new template for scavenging creatures.

The third may actually be the best option, since from what I can tell, we can never learn the stats for scavenging creatures.. only their image + drops. What do people think?
