logically i know modern horses aren't native to the americas like that was a whole Thing but it causes such cognizant dissonance to think of there being wild horses in europe. like that can't be right. there's no fucking cowboys there.

Are there any fae-like creatures in french myths?

I know about the story of a giant black wolf that terrorized France back in the day, but that’s all I can remember.

Legends and stories including wolves are in fact really widespread in european culture since middle age ! But yeah the most well known in France is the Beast of Gévaudan which was described as massive ! (and the one from Le petit chaperon rouge/Little red riding hood)

Concerning other creatures and fairies/faes in french legends and stories, we do have

Mélusine : fairies mentioned a bit everywhere in France, they are mostly described as women with a scaly tail lower body and are sometimes associated with mermaids or vouivres. (far from how they look like in genshin impact)

Vouivre : not to be mistaken with wyverns, vouivres are creatures described as snakes with bat wings, sometimes they are depicted having rear legs and wings (and they look very goofy like that imo). These creatures can be aquatic and in some descriptions, possess a big jewel on their forehead.

Tarasque : a creature from provencal legends, which lived in a swamp near Tarascon and terrorized and ate people. It's most popular description was of a big creature with a spiked turtle shell, six bear legs, horse ears, bull chest, lion head, a human face and a twisted tail. Legend says Ste. Marthe tamed the beast. (I swear they were just being attacked by bowser this is the same creature)

These are the one I depicted roughly in the pic above but there are many more creatures depending on the different regions of France ! (There's a lot of fairies and fantasy like creature in stories from bretagne/brittany) Some others that I find either fun or cool are :

Meneurs de loup : which translates to wolf leaders are people told to be able to talk to wolves and even transform into one, either because they are werewolves or they made a pact with the devil. (it's kinda giving spice and wolf vibes and I love that story sm)

Jambe crue/Came-cruse : Roaming in the Pyrénées at night, this thing is a single leg with an eye on the knee that eats people and runs very fast. (Idk why this one is so funny to me but oddly terrifying as well)

Always thinking about FraPru mutual grooming; doing each other’s hair and the like, especially when Gil wore his long in the queue… Fran getting to work his fingers through the pale locks and watching Gil melt into his touch, and then vice versa in the quiet hours shared in dying firelight,,

YESSS......YES

lmao they're such pack animals aren't they

i am very fond of the mental image of françois laying with his head in gilbert's lap while gilbert rants about something that annoys him. françois just listens with an amused smirk on his face and makes French Noises to show he's listening (ah bah oui......hein.......euhh jsais pas.....(blows air out through lips like a horse) peut-être alors....mais non hein......alors euhh.......c'est dommage alors....)

also françois has figured out the exact right way to scritch gilbert on the head so he becomes Tractable lmao. he's been trying to ease this man's head into his lap since 1701! sssh bertiiii it's okayyyy just lay quietly françois pinky promises he is not plotting anything and it's perfectly safe (he is so plotting) (gilbert knows) (gilbert lays down against his better judgement)

and in conclusion your honor,

The unicorn, through its intemperance and not knowing how to control itself, for the love it bears to fair maidens forgets its ferocity and wildness; and laying aside all fear it will go up to a seated damsel and go to sleep in her lap, and thus the hunters take it.

françois is the lady and the hunters, he has the range!

Le Gout - The Lady with the Unicorn tapestries

[medieval-unicorns]

Fit(ted) for a king! Two unicorns support the coat of arms of the king of France in this manuscript of Jacopo d'Angelo's Latin translation of Ptolemy's Cosmographia. This manuscript was originally made in Ghent for Louis de Bruges, lord of La Gruthuyse by the talented scribe Johannes de Krieckenborch. It later came into the possession of King Louis XII, and Jean Perréal modified some portraits and the coat of arms so to make them Louis's.

Materials: parchment, paint, gilding Origin: made in Ghent by the scribe Johannes de Krieckenborch; later modified by Jean Perréal for the royal court Date: 1485, with later alterations Now Paris, BnF Latin 4804, f. 5r
