Through the dark magic of constrained composition I've done it -- 13 Unusual Beasts and Spirits, just in time for Halloween! Basically, most cultures' mythology break down like this: you've got weird lizards, sketchy dogs, loud birds, upsetting chimeras, the occasional hazardous horse, and an endless supply of lethal hunks/babes. Perhaps a theme for next year? Looking forward to it.

Reasoning:

Heartslabyul- 

Ace is a Pooka as they are mischevious nature spirits. I see him as the rabbit of Heartslabyul, he playful and full of energy, but he will use his power cruelly if he deems necessary. Plus after finding out his unique magic I feel that a creature that copy the looks of others is spot on

Deuce is another story. I wanted a bunny or rabbit due to Deuce’s bunny day card, but I was looking for something that could fit his ready to fight nature. Thus, the Wolpertinger, a cute lil bunny with antlers, wings, and fangs. Looks cute but can go for the throat!

Riddle’s adherents to rules inspired this choice. Lots of myths go over the rules fairies have for their food, parties, homes, etc. I like the idea that Riddle didn’t quite get the playful nature most fairies do with the rules due to his mother. I see him as a flower/flora fairy, his home being a lovely rose bush. 

Cater’s encantado is similar to a selkie, coming from the encantado dolphins in South America. I envision Cater’s water form as more like a mermaid than a full dolphin. The encantado are supposed to be supernaturally gorgeous men, but I feel like that works well with Cater’s established issues with his ‘true’ self. So many see him as just a pretty face so he just keeps up the illusion.

Trey is textbook definition a Brownie. He’s helpful, cooks, cleans, and takes care of others. But I have seen some stories say that when sufficiently pissed off a Brownie can turn into a Boggart. I like to think this fits Trey quite nicely as he is scary when he gets serious. Since I don’t know if these stories are myth accurate though (I found mixed info online) I decided to make him both. His Brownie dad seduced his Boggart mom by just taking care of her an refusing to give up.

Savanaclaw- 

I like Jack as a werewolf, it fits nice but I decided to change it up a little. Sköll in Norse mythology is the son of Fenrir and chases the sun as it sets. In one of my friends D&D campaigns they made Sköll a race of celestial wolves that help lead the way for the stars at night. Very loyal, very strong at night, but weak during the day and need a pack with other creatures to help them.

I’m sorry I tried to find anything else that might fit, but Ruggie is 1000% a gnoll. It just fits him perfectly! I even found pics of a cute one selling his wares and just went, Ruggie would so do that to make a buck.

With Leona I do see how Nemean Lion works for his status as a ruler, but I feel like sphynx fits so much better. Leona is so much smarter than he pretends to be. Sphinx like to play with their food in some myths I’ve read and that reminds me of Leona’s plan for the tournament. Not to mention lots of the art I’ve seen decorates the sphinx in tons of gold and jewels. 

Octavinelle-

For the sea trio I wanted to really lean into the monster inspiration. Not only are they mermen still, but they are a monster out size. Descendents of the great monsters Scylla do Charybdis they can tear apart full ships and devour large beasts. I see the tweels circling and creating a whirlpool or teeth like Charybdis, while Azul hides in a cave and picks off any escaping like Scylla. Makes them an even deadlier trio! 

Scarabia- 

I went looking for a creature to reflect Kalim’s cheerful nature and maybe his love of music. I was lucky to find the Shadhavar, a unicorn-like creature said to bring joy to those around it. The horn on its head is hollow and is supposed to play the most beautiful sounds. Not to mention stories of kings and other royalty paying lots of gold to try and get one in their collection. 

Jamil on the other hand is a Naga, as it fits his personality and name to a tee. I’m thinking of basing him off a sand viper but I am still looking at options. 

Pomfiore-

Epel’s connection with apples is what I wanted to focus on. So I went with a simple apple tree dryad/tree nymph. 

Rook’s nature to hunt put one thing in mind for me, a headless horseman/huntsman, also known as a Dullahan. Rook refused to give up the hunt in life, or in death (joking). Rook seems to have a poisonous smoke wafting from his neck when his head is not attached (courtesy of Vil).

Vil is inspired by the original sirens or Greek myth (bird women also sometimes classified with harpies) and the more modern idea of sirens as more mermaid-like. Either way his beauty and voice draw others in, either to their doom or to heap praise upon him. But do NOT underestimate Vil, both sides of his family are viciously savage when scorned. 

Ignihyde- 

For Idia and Ortho I mixed Will-o’-wisps and a local legend of ghost lights. They are meant to be benevolent, leading lost souls home or the dead to the afterlife. But to not ever try to harm them, their fire can burn your very soul out of existence. Feel like this can really work with Idia not liking being near others (always floating just out of reach) and Ortho’s helpful nature. 

Diasomnia- 

Originally I was going for a more crocodilian monster, but then I saw Kobolds in the D&D manual. The fact that some play them off as worshiping dragons, being brash and loud, not always the most socially aware… So does Sebek know he’s a Kobold?

For Silver I thought about the Baku for a sec, but I feel like a Nightmare centaur is just perfect for Silver. Pulls on his equestrian training and his unique magic. Though instead of spreading nightmares I imagine he would fight them off. 

Lilia is a vampire bat fae, not really much different than he is in the original game. 

Malleus is also pretty similar to how he is in game. I plan to lean into how his type of dragon is different in my world and how he has more bird tendencies from his father, not to mention play with his demon heritage.

Staff- 

For Crowley I wanted to really focus on his desire to share information. He may not be a great headmage in game but he has a slightly different role in my story. I made him a Crow Herold, basically a spirit of knowledge that tries to pass it on like how crows teach their young.

Crewel needs his coat, selkie can not be beat. I know there are other tales of creature taking off their coat/skin to reveal a person beneath, but selkies just felt more like they fit Crewel (especially with how brutal seals and sea lions can be). 

Sam is a deal maker, a business man, he will get you what you ask as long as you pay the price. He is a crossroads demon who is trying to get people to see that demons stick to their deals. They have more in common with the rule following fae and fairies than most like to admit. 

Trien’s long live and knowledge of history feels most important to my story so I wanted a creature known for their intelligence. He started off as a Griffin before he shifted to a Hippogriff due to my story changing. He is calm and kind, very nurturing, but do keep in mind he still has claws.

Vargas is a Minotaur, strong, proud, and bullheaded. He can be kind, especially to the younger creatures, but he can have a hairpin trigger at times.

Others-

Grim is a chimera, though he may look like an odd cat creature now, he will grow more and more of his features over time. Right now he has some tiny bat wings and his tail has fangs (but not a full snakes head).

 Rollo is a phoenix, as he needs an association with fire, but I felt like the phoenix makes his story more tragic. He can survive what his brother could not and it haunts him to this very day. 

Fellow is a Huli Jing, while he may not be outright malicious he is a trickster and he will defend his brother to the death. He has many tricks but his magic is not the strongest.

I see Gino as a young bakeneko. Fellow is helping him learn to control his shape shifting and illusions, but the lack of voice makes some of his magic useless or difficult. 

Chenya on the other hand is an oddity among his species. Most matagots are black cats so Chenya’s colorful coat stands out. He quite likes that fact but does wonder where it came from. He’s seen as mostly a household spirit, but do remember matagots can bring ruin when necessary. 

Neige felt like he needed a cute creature that is more often overlooked. Pixies and sprites can be cute and are usually associated with light and whimsy, but they do have plenty of stories of leading others astray and attacking. Neige is genuinely sweet and wants the best for others, especially for the dwarves in his care, but he will fight when needed. 

Skully as a revenant just makes sense for me. A spirit who can never pass on, drifting in and out of places. He usually sticks around the area where he died, feeling lost anywhere else. It is unsure if Skully was a human in his past life or one of the other human-like creatures since he can’t really remember too much of his past. 

The Great Seven-

The Queen of Hearts (named Cordelia) is a mix of Flora Fae and Tinker Fairy. Flora Fae comes from the great amount of flowers and other flora in Alice in Wonderland. She has a tie to all of the all of the plant life, and like Riddle her odd rules. Tinker fairy ties into Disney lore for fairies like Tinkerbell. They build and craft things, leading to her building her queendom. 

Scar is a sphinx just like his descendents, but he has Nemean Lion mixed in making him so much stronger and near invincible. 

Ursula was born a simple Cecaelia but through hard work and magical practice she became a Scylla. So big and so terrifying that no one dared challenge her kingdom.

Jafar on the other hand, had to hide his Basalik lineage for a while, as many still saw them as wild beasts. He proved to his people that while they had deadly abilities beyond that of their naga cousins, they could be just as amiable as the other snakes.

Grimhilde is a raven harpy, with feathers so black they make the night sky look grey. But when you look closely you see a rainbow of colors as her feathers shine like jewels. While most can not tell of her banshee ancestry by appearance she is said to have  fought of invaders with her deathly wail. Her people still called her fairest of all after seeing her old hag form for she was beautiful no matter the appearance.

Hades is like Scar, he matches his descendants, but he was more. On top of being a will-o-wisp he was a powerful fire fae, some think maybe even an infernal. His fires blazed so hot that he is said to have melted an entire army.

Maleficent’s a dragon fae like normal, but I also added Celestial fae. Said to be born of the new moon she holds a great relationship with the night. Some even say she was the first nocturnal fae to have woken from the wild.

While researching stuff for some of my ocs I found a very interesting unicorn and it made me have very sad laimar thoughts. this is a quick description of a Shadhavar:

Shadhavar resembles a gazelle that on its head has a single horn with 42 hollow branches. When the wind passes through the holes in those branches, it produces a pleasant sound. Other animals, hearing the music, gather around the shadhavar, intently listening. Horns of these creatures are sometimes gifted to kings and produce music in the presence of the wind. When the horn is held one way, the melody is happy and uplifting. When put in reverse, it produces a sad dirge that moves the listeners to tears.

and what i thought is: someone gifts this horn to laios and they sometimes use it in court maybe when they open palace for dances or whatever. it becomes quite the cherished artifact.

then laios sadly dies and marcille becomes queen, she's often seen in her rooms with the horn upside down :'( playing some sad music to herself………………………………………………………………………… i will put this in my official laimar timeline yep. there you go. :'( will be one of the last points in the timeline :'(

[smokinsid]

Synchroneer Enid: Tenured professor of Relative Extraplanar Access, Penetration, Egress, and Research, or REAPER Studies, for the College of Synergetics. The successful one in the family. She's seen the world turn inside out and had lunch on rocks floating in the alchemical abyssal zone between realms. Fearless, unflappable, and always prepared with a backup plan for her backup plan. Ma & Pa's favorite. Her ambition is matched only by the heights to which she piles her thick, gorgeous hair- she's the first in a generation not to start going bald right after puberty.

Troubador Rucks: Enid's daughter. Freewheeling poet and musician working hard for an easy living. Flunked out of the College of Dynamics after spending too much time doodling on her reports. Sailed away to Cantha seeking her fortune, only to fall in with the fisherfolk of a village frequently assailed by naga. Cobbled together a "motivational" combat style based on yelling and swinging a stick around. Loves with her whole heart, even if it's not a good idea.

Sidney "Smokin' Sid" Figleaf: Enid's estranged older brother. Late night host of Smoke Signals, on 103.3 KRUE, Venlin Vale Radio. Married a gorgeous Sylvari who says he "makes her laugh," he spent a good long time working on the docks beneath Rata Sum after flunking out of the College of Statics in his first year for, quote, "stickin' stuff up my nose when they didn't want me to." His career as a journalist picked up during the Pact's assault on Orr, where he found himself using radio equipment to report on the war back to the mainland. Now he's trying to live a more comfortable life, and only smokes two packs of unfiltered Shadhavar Wides a day.

Fauna of the Boiling Isles based off of real-world mythology

The Owl House is one of my favorite shows, and it gets me excited about one of my special interests: Mythology and mythological creatures.

Eda tells us in the first episode that a large amount of myths from the Boiling Isles are inspired by native demon realm creatures ending up in the human realm. We see Griffins, Dragons, Unicorns, but it feels like the show only scratched the surface when it came to showing how diverse the Isles are, especially since Earth has a large amount of unique and interesting mythical creatures.

I wanted to share some real mythical creatures that I feel would be right at home in the Boiling Isles. Please also share some mythical creatures you also feel would be found in the Demon Realm, and what regions they are from:

Bonnacon: A creature from Medieval/Greek folklore. This bull-like creature has horns that curl backward, making them useless for defense, so the Bonnacon defends itself bu spraying caustic feces

Kamaitachi: A Japanese creature that looks like a weasel. It rides the winds and slices at people with scythe-like claws

Zoureg: This Arabian snake can cut through any substance like a hot knive through butter.

Akhlut: From Inuit Folklore, this creature is said to be a mix between a wolf, and a killer whale. (My personal headcanon is that these absolutely exist in the isles, and that if Luz saw one, she would call it a Labradorca)

Adze: We know the demon realm has Fireflies in TtT, but the Adze of Togo and Ghana is a firefly that sucks blood, and can even take a humanoid shape.

Impundulu: This Zulu creature looks like a bird, but it can summon thunder and lightning, and has an appetite for blood.

Sigbin: Filipino creature that walks backwards with head between legs and sucks blood through people’s shadows. Can clap with its ears and has a whip-like tail. Smells awful

Cerastes: A Greek serpent with horns, and no spine, making it extremely flexible

Lou Carcolh: French serpentine snail with long tentacles for dragging prey

Barnacle Goose: A real animal, but myths said it grew from trees or even from barnacles

Yara-ma-yha-who: From Australian Aboriginal mythology, this creature is a little red man with a froggy head. It waits in trees and ambushes people, using suckers on its feet to drain blood. It also will swallow and regurgitate the victim until they become a yara-ma-yha-who themself.

Palis: An Arabian and Persian creature that drains blood by licking away at the soles of sleeping people

Gulon: A Scandanavian creature so glutinous that once full, it will squeeze itself between two trees so that it can push the food through its body and eat more.

Mi'Raj: An Arabic yellow rabbit with a single black horn that causes all other creatures to flee from it.

Catobleps: A greek mythical creature that resembles a Cape Buffalo. It's head is so heavy that it is constantly pointing down. Either its stare or breath can kill people.

Mapinguari: From Brazilian Folklore, this jungle dwelling cyclops is a man eater whose mouth goes from head to belly.

Shadhavar: An Arabic unicorn like creature whose horn has 42 hollow branches that make it like a flute.

Chickcharney: A creature of Andros Island in the Bahamas. A 3 foot tall Owl-like creature that will give a hard time to those that make fun of its appearance.

Capelobo: A Brazilian creature that resembles an anteater, but drinks the blood of people.

Many, many years ago, before the death of the Moon, creatures of all kinds lived on its surface. The most advanced specie was what many people would now call 'unicorns': ancient beasts with mysterious powers and heads full of dreams. To tell the truth, they seemed quite similar to us. This blog contains all my notes about what I call 'Moonicorns' and what I discover about them.

Hello [I'm Sole/MeelkieWee/Meelkie] and welcome to my sideblog dedicated to my most recent OCs and their stories, hopefully!

The point is I recently started brainrotting on them, and I need a place to release all the stuff I think up publicly so that maybe some crazy person wants to discuss them too.

Soooooo yeah it's all a work in progress and I will update this pinned post whenever I add stuff to the lore.

Ahah, I have high hopes. Hopefully you'll enjoy your stay!

The Shadhavar is a type of unicorn from Persian mythology. It is known by many other names, including Sadhuzag, Shādawār and Âras. It is said to combine the features of a deer, a bull and a goat.

Its most notable feature is its large horn, which has forty-two hollow branches on it. When the wind blows through these branches, they play a pleasant note. Shadhavar horns were sometimes harvested and presented as gifts to kings, who would play them like flutes.

Though at cursory glance this strange animal may appear similar to the unicorn, look closely; the strange, lumpy “horn” is covered in skin, and is in fact not a horn at all! Meet the shadhavar, cousin to the wildebeest and mammalia’s answer to hadrasaurine crests. While it is not literally riddled with holes through which the wind blows freely, the shadhavar’s strange crest is adorned with tubercles which are thought to be associated with sexual display. Males have significantly larger crests than females and up to 72 tubercles, though the average in breeding males is around 42. The crest itself is hollow, and in a case of remarkable convergent evolution to parasaurolophus, allows the amplification of sound to dramatic effect. Some say it’s calls are hauntingly beautiful, others might argue it sounds like a walking vuvuzela; for members of its own kind, the cries carry a variety of meanings from danger to coordination to love. The crest is said to have been gifted to kings, who would hold it at specific angles in a breeze so as to produce unique sounds.

 Shadhavar travel in small, loose herds of females and young led by a single male while non-competitive males travel in bachelor groups. A herd may be spread over great distances, as long as they can still hear their neighbors’ low frequency “safety” calls. Though they have always been uncommon, their range has shrunk since the last ice age from much of west Asia to limited ranges in the Anatolian plateau in Turkey. The shadhavar first appeared in the mid Pleistocene, sharing a common ancestor with the now extinct rusingoryx, another alcelaphine bovid with a weird hollow skull.

Shadhavar

Image © @iguanodont. Accessed at their tumblr here

[The first in a two-parter of musical Middle Eastern monsters.]

Shadhavar CR 3 NG Magical Beast This beautiful, antelope-like creature has a single horn growing from its head. The horn is covered in knobs and holes, making it resemble an exotic musical instrument.

Shadhavars are magical, musical creatures that resemble unicorns. They patrol dry savannas and other arid lands, maintaining the balance of predator and prey and defending the land from exploitation. Shadhavars are social creatures that are gregarious among their own kind and with others, and their roaming herds are as much conversation circles as anything else.

The most notable feature of a shadhavar is its crest. This structure is covered in horn and studded with dozens of openings, all leading to a large central airy chamber. This allows them to play their crest as if it were a musical instrument, and shadhavars can mimic the noises of a dozen manufactured instruments, or even maintain two tunes at once. Shadhavars can harness their sonic mastery as a weapon, producing a blast of sound that can shatter glass, bruise flesh and scramble the mind. As shadhavars are herbivorous, they only use this effect in self-defense or when fighting to protect an innocent creature.

Shadhavars love music, both their own and that of other creatures. They are somewhat wary of mortals, however, as they are hunted to turn their crests into exotic musical instruments. They also hate creatures that use sonic effects to injure and kill innocent creatures, and fight crusades against harpies, siranis and other evil monsters that use music as a weapon.

Shadhavar       CR 3 XP 800 NG Medium magical beast Init +4; Senses darkvision 60 ft., low-light vision, Perception +12 Defense AC 16, touch 14, flat-footed 12 (+4 Dex, +2 natural) hp 32 (5d10+5) Fort +5, Ref +8, Will +5; +4 vs. sonic and language-dependent effects Resist sonic 10 Defensive Abilities soundproof Offense Speed 50 ft.

All creatures in this area take 1d8 points of sonic damage and must succeed a DC 17 Will save or be confused for 1d4 rounds. A creature that succeeds this save is immune to the confusion effect of that shadhavar’s dissonant burst for the next 24 hours. A shadhavar can use this ability at will, but must wait 1d4 rounds between uses. This is a sonic, mind-influencing effect. A shadhavar is immune to this ability. Musical Horn (Ex) A shadhavar’s crest functions as a wind instrument for the purposes of Perform checks. Soundproof (Ex) A shadhavar gains a +4 racial bonus on all saving throws made against sonic effects or language-dependent effects. Versatile Performance (Ex) A shadhavar may use its bonus on Perform (wind instrument) checks when making Diplomacy or Handle Animal checks.

[muffinlance]

i just bought fox's tongue and kirin's bone, blacked out, and before i knew it i'd read the whole thing and all the skin stealer's son chapters that you've released. i adore it so so so so so much! i was curious, how many books do you anticipate will be in this series? have you planned it out, or is that question still open-ended for you? <3

The Book Fugue State is one of the highest compliments an author can receive <3

Re series length: I'm aiming for six books, but I think we all know what happens when authors say "the series will definitely be THIS long" (...then seven books later...)
