Myths and Legends

🐴So, your step-dad is an evil emperor who's trying to murder you. Bevis of Southampton has had a difficult life. His dad went to the pharmacy (the woods) and never came back (because he was murdered by 10,000 soldiers), he was sold into slavery, and apparently can't go ten minutes without fighting a giant. But, throughout it all, we learn that no matter how difficult life gets... it can still throw a dragon fight your way too, so watch out. 😈 The Creature: Zankallala If there was ever a bite-sized creature you'd want to eat less than the Zankallala, I don't want to meet it. --- 📖 The Book!

👻No one parties on Halloween Night like Nera and his friends Because their parties involve making bracelets. And corpses. And making bracelets for corpses. It's Samhain night, and Nera, a lowly spearman, accepts a dare from his king. It's a simple task that will change his life forever. 😈 The Creature: Ahuizotl Just a simple dog with a hand on its tail running a protection racket by the lake. --- 📖 The Book!

💪There's something powerful about confidence. Except that, if you're not actually powerful...or generous...or deadly, pretending to be those things can get you in a lot of trouble. Only if you get caught, though. Three stories from South India of people who are faking it. 😈 The Creature: Okuri inu Look, everyone wants a dog to hang out with them on the dark, scary road at night and protect them from dangerous mythological creatures. The problem is the Okuri Inu only protects you so that it can eat you itself. --- 📖 The Book! Myths and Legends has our first book coming out on December 1st!

🗡️Ortnit has it all. The strength of twelve men. A secret, super lineage. A dwarven sword and unbreakable armor. The question is, what is he going to do with it? Start a war to try to date a princess? Start a war to try to date a princess! 😈 The Creature: Tarasque If it looks like a Bowser, bites like a Bowser, and scratches like a Bowser, it's either a Bowser or it's the Tarasque. If it sings like a Bowser then it's probably a Jack Black. --- 📖 The Book! Myths and Legends has our first book coming out on December 1st!

🕷️Spiders don't have tails, but this one has tales. Anansi is one of the most famous folklore tricksters in the world, but we'll see that behind every great trickster...is likely a trail of broken and/or angry people who want to get even. 😈 The Creature: Tsuchinoko People are crazy about this chonky snake.
