Special Features

The Special Features pages organise mythological creatures by cross-cutting themes that improve search and comparison. Each feature highlights roles, symbols, and habitats that recur in global folklore and legendary bestiaries. We focus on guardian spirits, tempters, omens, guides, avengers, and psychopomps as they appear in ritual and story. Icons and motifs such as footprints, coils, wings, torches, anchors, and boundary stones help readers recognise patterns. Use tiles to browse by function, habitat, or motif, then open cards for sources, iconography, variant names, and transliteration notes.
