Hi, all.
I'm new to constructing and new to Cruciverb. I am hoping to get some advice on this question: Do theme answers need to be consistent as to singular/plural. The revealer is stated as plural, but it refers to all the theme answers. One of the theme answers, because of the nature of the phrase, already has ambiguous singular/plural. So a simplified (for illustration of plural/singular issue only) example:
Elephant
Giraffe
Tigers
Deer
Revealer: Animals
Acceptable or not?
Thank you so much in advance for any thoughts or advice.

Ideally, themers will be consistent in every respect, including plural/singular. Editors may overlook deviations if they like the theme well enough and the puzzle is otherwise of very high quality.
