Underappreciated Mythical Creatures!

Thank you for making this!! So I’ve been getting into a lot of mythologies, especially Asian ones for one of a roleplays I’m doing. So I’ve got a little list

  • Dokkaebis AHhh! These little creatures have such interesting personalities :scream: Would lovea story on them
  • Imugi’s I know there’s a movie or smthn based on this but I don’t see a lot of this particular creature and would love to see more
  • Viscera because that could make a really killer paranormal/horror movie!! :ghost:
  • Different types of Obake and Awages are super interesting as well!
  • Selkies!! We love ourselves a good shapeshifting girl ^^
  • Sirens - correctly 'cause if someone doesn’t give some good Siren represntation Imma be angry :triumph:
  • Yokai!! For the people that assume this is a creature you obviously don’t know your mythologies!! (I mean this in jokingly, I’m pretty sure no one knows this.) This is an entire class of interesting creatures!
  • Valkyries - THE ONE GOOD BOOK I FOUND WAS A HAREM BOOK LIKE WHY, give our winged girls of death a little more love!!
  • Banshee :scream: I’ve always been so effing in love with banshees as creatures, we stan supernatural vocal cords :clap:
  • Hydra - Because we never saw these enought!!
  • Succubus/Incubus ~ I really want more of these they could have interesting plot lines if done correctly!! We love ourselves a friendly bloodsucker :vampire: The male version, an Incubus is really not seen anywhere so would be pretty chill if someone did that!
  • Willow 'O wisp ~ Because I want more story behind that Brave creature sksks, and they are such cuties in the disney version!! I want to adopt one :heart:
  • Oni demons ~ They’re pretty popular in mangas but I think I’d like a good book on these purely wicked characters, would make for an awesome antagonist…or hero if someone wants to play it that way :smirk:
  • Kitsune/Gumiho ~ The asian versians really connect so I put them together, I always love a good book on these temptresses!
  • Fenrir ~ Ahhh, obssesed since Magnus chase, someone make some books on him!!
  • Harpies - These creatures certainly don’t get enough love :pensive: GIVEE EM SOMEE
  • Shinigamis so I know, like deathnote is popular but that’s one of the few I found and there’s not much known so a lot of creative license here :two_hearts: Someone do this marginalized group :sob:
  • Ghoul but the filipino version is pretty cool, someone should do a Merlin episode on that :joy:
  • Witches from the Filipino culture are super interesting, especially if someone did an aswang witch?! Like c’mon, guys, my wallets open!! :scream: :ghost:

I have a lot more, but here’s the top few!!

Would Egyptian gods and Greek gods count?

Hmmmm, while they’re dead religions, they are still religions.

It would be kind of like calling Jesus a mythological creature :eyes:

Depends on the myth in my experience!

Lol funny because my main character in the story doesn’t kill a man during sex. She just does it with the guy she’s dating.

Awww, that’s cute. Though if you are a fan of witch shows or wanna talk more about the seven seasons with me and others, we have this thread.


I also want to have either a very tiny OR very large sea serpent!
