What were Geats?

I'm wondering as I cannot find any information on what Geats were actually suppose to be? I couldn't find any developer concept art, or dev musings etc.

I think they were suppose to be another Creature to the Norn, Grendel, Ettin lineup. But what?

Or are Geats suppose to be a scrapped way for fans to make their own Creature types?

It's just a name given to the fourth (undefined) species slot. In C1 and C2, it was called Shee instead.

I don't know what in-lore explanation there is beyond what GimmeCat said about them being called Shee in the earlier games. If there is any explanation to begin with, that is.

I suppose the meta-game aspect is that it adds a whole species worth of new sprite slots to the games. The creatures series was made with modders in mind, and this decision gives us all a whole lot more room to experiment with sprite sets.

I think it goes
1 male norn
2 male grendel
3 blank (became male ettin)
4 blank (became male geat)
5 female norn
6 blank (became female grendel when added using third party breed pack)
7 blank (became female ettin when added using third party breed pack)
8 blank (became female geat, although I'm not sure any actually came out in the original C1 era)
