Pathfinder's Recall Knowledge checks have totally changed my relationship to creatures, in a way that's probably going to hurt me hard in my upcoming 5E crawl.
"Hey GM, can I role Fiend Lore to see if I know anything about this hunk of ugly? I want to know if it'll do bad things to me if I look at it, or if it will take attacks of opportunity."

You could always use History checks for humanoids, Nature for beasts, Arcana for aberrations, etc.
Good call. I'll petition to do just that! Thanks!
