Default Inserting a list into "If" function

Column A has a long list of items that I use in a drop-down list that I named
"CreatureList"
How can use the "If" function and/or other functions to test for two or more
arguments without having to insert the names of the individual items in the
list into the arguments of the formula?

Example:

Column A drop down list, entitled "CreatureList"

Cats
Dogs
Horses
Sharks
etc.

Describing the function:
If any of the 20 animals from the Creature list, then insert "Mammals"; if
any other creature from the list, then insert "Fish"
