3) phorcys, ceto, pishacha, prince orobas, lindworm, giant, marquis forneus, prince vassago
- mokele mbembe- a small sauropod that lives in swamps and chases hippos and elephants away from its territory. this one doesnt have the same feel of the other dinosaur cryptids it honestly has a feel more similar to the aquatic rhino monster that attacks hippos. anyway I kind of like having a creature like a brachiosaurus or brontosaurus I mean they were real life animals that caused mini earthquakes with there steps
- laelaps- a dog that never fails to catch what she was chases down. a gift from Artemis
- teumessian fox- a giant fox that preyed on the people of thebes and could never be caught. a punishment from Dionysus.
I want these 2 to be heavily connected to each other so for a starter no one can make the fox an ally without laelaps in their party.
- gunni- I like wallabies, I like antlers, I like hoax cryptids somewhat. but Im not to into this one this case of strapping antlers on to make a monster is not for me.
- kinnara and mandurugo- kinnara are beautiful dancing, singing bird people that have arms that shapeshift into wings and devotedly love and serve those that show them kindness but if betrayed turn into Mandurugo- bloodsucking bat winged creatures
- gerota- a hoax but honestly bat and possum is the perfect combo
- la guita xica- a green mule shaped dragon. untrustworthy, has mule temperment.
- Hadraniel- another angel noted for its tallness so we will say the 2nd tallest. shoots 12000 bolts of lightning out of his mouth every time he speaks
- oklahoma octopus- i was just going to end my project by throwing in all the biggest named cryptids and I do believe this is in like the top 50 but I kept going so like most "this is just an animal but in a location it should not be" type cryptids its not making my final list
- moloch- i fought with myself on whether to make this some sort of construct based on its origin or turn it into a demon and nothing came of it yet
- mahaha- thin stringy haired sharp clawed blue skinned demons that are always smiling and giggling. kind of like feral versions of the joker. i need to add this one to my project
- cabeca satanica- a long haired head with wide fiery eyes and an eerie smile it rolls around, stares at people, causes sickness and death. is sometimes carried around by a host then dropped when it reaches the right location, is 100% in cahoots with the devil, and is sometimes gigantic.
- capelobo- vampiric humanoid anteaters.i like the art where they are really fluffy i should have gone that direction. either way dont care for the vampire/anteater combo for some reason - if it was just an anteater monster that would appeal to me more
- ballybog- grunting, slobbering, round bodied neckless fairies with long thin arms live in bogs, is covered in mud, has a bad temper.
- leshy- size changing forest spirits can be as tall as trees they are not fooled by any silly methods for deterring fairies like turning clothes inside out but very amused and will laugh and get distracted. hibernate in winter, run around gleefully and dangerously in spring, prank in summer. tickle people to death. my favorite part is they gamble using squirrels and all the squirrels will migrate to the winners forest.
- Ymir- boss. a gigantic primordial frost giant older than earth was killed his bones are the mountains, his blood the sea, and his hair the trees. my worlds earth is the titan Gaia but no reason Ymirs strength cant be absorbed by her. ymir is dead therefore only encountered in the underworld.
- azi sruvara- a yellow dragon with poisonous breath and a single horn. a dragon of selfishness, greed, and ignorance. sometimes appears as a warrior dude with a thin beard and chain mail but eh.
- phorcys- a god of hidden dangers in the sea. has spiky red skin, crabs claws and fish tail
- ceto- a sea monster goddess and wife of phorcys. her name means sea monster depictions of her tend toward the whale variety of sea monster and i like that . monster and god family trees are complicated but its pretty consistant that phorcys and ceto are the parents of echidna. as somewhat of a joke and to continue a theme with Echidna having 6 breasts to feed her wide variety of children not all of which could eat meat right off the bat I modeled ceto based off the skywhale balloon by Patricia Piccinini which looks like a big monstrous whale with breasts.
- pishacha- dark demons that have glowing red eyes, bulging veins, posess people, cause insanity.
- Prince Orobas- a horse/man demon lord that always speaks the truth, is never tempted, and is an oracle that speaks the past, present, and future. I don't really like future predicting powers so those will be extremely limited.
- Lindworm- a serpentine dragon from norse myth. originally I really wasnt a fan of a western dragon thats shtick was being a serpentine dragon with no legs or wings but maybe it will make a nice connection with eastern dragons being a non celestial version ( tho I like the 2 legged asian dragons)
- giant- big lumbering hairy humanoid giants that probably hang out with dragons and mammoths were going to be my main giant species native to earth for a while but now the Gigantes are my more literal earth giants, my human giants are either nephilim giant because they are descended from angels or humans that made themselves bigger through magic. so these guys dont have a role at the moment they could be the children of gods and monsters.
- Marquis Forneus- sea monster demon lord of friendship mostly. hes a sea serpent in my world
- prince vassago- a good natured demon lord that can find anything lost or hidden. no description but I guess by the logic of being able to find things really well I gave him lots of eyes- may have started as a random sketch as well.
