Mythical Beasts
Mythical beasts collects renowned creatures of epic and folklore that shape quests, omens, and royal emblems. This category foregrounds beings treated as animals or monsters rather than gods, with notes on roles, symbols, habitats, and regional variants. Expect concise coverage of famous figures such as the unicorn, griffin, basilisk, and kraken, along with early attestations and iconography. We track functions like guardian of treasure, purifier, poison bearer, storm maker, and challenger at city gates or sea lanes. Tiles let you scan by culture, habitat, or motif, then open cards for sources, images, and transliterations. Each entry separates enduring tradition from literary embellishment and links creatures to rites, bestiaries, maps, and heraldry.
