THE BOOK OF

MYTHICAL BEASTS
“IT’S DANGEROUS TO GO ALONE, TAKE
THIS”
- Old man in cave, The Legend of Zelda , 1986
Here begins the world of nature and mythical beasts. The aim of this book is to guide you through
your journeys with the information equipped to deal with the various creatures and situations you will
encounter.

*Though a warning must be issued. If you are faint of heart and carry irrational fears of cute animated
creatures we request you to turn back and give up the text to who-ever will find it most usefull*
Huegon

Here is the case of one peculiar creature, one not too


distant from yourself if your are the adventuring type
you claim to be. Seeking new experience and sights
the ‘Huegon’ scours the land to satisfy its thirst for
exploration. Never seem without its trusty camera, it
captures the sights ti finds to store them for itself. As
other drakes covet gold and valuables to hoard the
Huegon prioritises these sights it is able to cap-
ture and keep to itself. It is sillier to other in terms of
age and size, as in it has no defined lifespan and is
believed to keep growing as long as it lives, though
the commonly seen sized range from 20-30 feet in
height. Also similar to other drakes is its ego in its
capabilities and skills, though its skills as a photog-
rapher are largely unverified due to its reluctance to
share the images in its hoard. In addition to it being
apparently unfeasible for a dragon to carry around
prints of its work to hand out.
If you are to encounter one on your journeys be sure
to offer a photograph of yours for its hoard as a sign
of goodwill and friendship, as having a dragon as a
friend may be helpful in cases.
Duruk

One of the laziest creatures one is ever to encounter,


a Guruk is akin to an immovable boulder resistant to
any form of force and weathering over years. They are
large creatures with the smallest seen Guruks being
the size of large trucks and the larger end being the
size of sport arenas. Displaying a tendency to prefer
rocky and mountainous terrains as their diet primar-
ily consists of the same hard minerals. Once an area
suitable is chosen they tend to rest there for months
at a time once they have consumed their sustenance
only awaking again to consume their surrounding
rocks. The rocky terrain they rest on does not affect
their body in adverse ways due the basic constitution
of it. It is said they are to be almost elastic in nature
and akin to the feel of slime which engulfs the hard
surface as opposed to being injured or punctured by
it. Due to their basic lifestyle there have been various
cases of obstruction caused by their kind especially
due to their nature of being completely immov-
able due to their slime like engulfing body type and
weight. If one’s path is blocked by one of these crea-
tures the best, if only course of action is to turn back,
and return when the its natural cycle has progressed
to a point at it which it wakes up.
Ursanine

Often seen hanging, sitting, lying down or in any


other form of sedentary placement an Ursanine is in
a world of its own indifferent to worldly happenings.
Painfully slow in its physical interaction and reaction it
spends its time in suspended animation. It is thought
to be incredibly wise due to its disposition and con-
stantly thinking demeanour, even going as far as
stating latent psychic powers. It is said that it refuses
to acknowledge reality as its superior intellect allows
it to create entire worlds in its psyche which it lives
through. The inverse is also thought by a few who
believe the being to be one of pure laziness and lack
of thought, lost in thought. Little is known about its
dietary habits and other functions, as it appears to be
is a constant state of suspension. Interaction with it
seems to be ultimately useless as deemed by some,
though expecting something form mythical crea-
tures often leaves one surprised. If you do encounter
one, do not disturb its trance if possible. How would
you feel if someone interrupted your ideal dream
scenario.
Cloiptera

Both secretive and often secluded from any form


of visible social interaction a Cloiptera is a crea-
ture which values its privacy. Taking up residences
in abandoned structures and buildings it spends
its time in darkness and seclusion. Akin in base
appearance to a fox it also follows similar traits in
the form of theft in order to sustain itself, though it
will procure items through legitimate means if the
opportunity presents itself. As a complete departure
from its traits, its physical appearance does not lend
well to the concept of stealth, theft and anti public
tendencies. It takes on a bright almost neon colour
due to the nature of its fur which exhibits low levels
of bioluminescence and high reflectivity in sunlight,
allowing them to be identified form long distanced.
It does possess the ability to fly through the use of
its webbed wings, an ability it uses effectively to flee
from socially awkward situations. They show extreme
affinity toward music and often use it as an escape
which can be used as an avenue to interact with
them through.
They are shy in interacting with humans initially but
become accustomed to it fairly quickly. Interaction
with these beings is both accepted and also encour-
aged due to their ability to both play and find amaz-
ing music which they share with those close to them,
though it should be kept in mind when departing
form their abode that one must always close the door
behind them in order to avoid a feeble altercation
Bog Dryad

Commonly seen in earlier times, nowadays it has


become an extremely rare sight. A bog dryad as it is
commonly known is an extremely intelligent creature,
one in tune with itself and follows that tune to con-
nect with its surrounding nature as well. They were
primarily known to inhabit both in and lands sur-
rounding swamps. Known to keep to itself, it is rarely
seen interacting with other sentient beings and
interaction in a positive non hostile form is even rarer.
Its bitterness is strongest toward humans as the race
is believed to have dwindled in population due to
the rampant spread of human kind and the reckless
was they abuse their surroundings. It is believed they
draw their nutrition directly from the ground with the
root like appendages that also serve as their limbs.
Their body also being covered by a large mass of
moss and vines serve to camouflage them in their
home surroundings. Recent sightings have placed
them exclusively in close proximity to water bodies
and nowhere else. This is likely to reduce due to their
further dwindling numbers. It is said they do possess
powers to manipulate surrounding nature though
this is unproved and cannot be cited from reliable
sources. It is recommended to avoid contact with be-
ings of this species due to the hostility received form
them, even if one does say it will let you try on its cool
hat; it is probably a trap.
Eitick

As the case with various parasitic creatures the


Eitick prefers to live on the backs of larger creatures.
Though unlike a traditional parasite the Eitick does
not take anything from the host but is only present
for mutual benefit. Due to its small size the Eitick
needs to be bound to a larger host for its own safety.
It is usually utterly defenceless in its life and thrives
on the protection given by its physically larger host.
And adverse to its size and defenceless nature its at-
titude its that of constant apprehension. This results
in a general abrasive and confrontational attitude.
Though it may seem this way to all others the Eitick
interacts with, it is very closely bonded to the crea-
ture it lives on. It usually chooses young who have lost
their parents or are alone in this world, and aids them
in daily life and provides for them in any way it can.
It is a mutually beneficial situation where one pro-
vides whatever protection they can in terms of size
and the other makes up for it with information and
survival instinct it provides to the host. It is generally
advised to stay away from any infected host as they
will be persuaded to protect their interests at any
cost especially due to the Eitick’s advice, at even the
slightest provocation
Lemic

The concept of a fairy has altered greatly over


the years. Though fairly standard it is taken to
be a small sprite of humanoid form with wings
and mystical powers. This being the case tradi-
tionally, still there will always be alterations and
something new undiscovered. This was the case
when a unique new type of fairy was discovered
in the recent past, part machine part magic.
No one knows what makes a fairy magical and
the same is presented here where the source
of the power is unknown though the base is of
robotic nature. And in terms of robotic nature
is not in the form of advance digital technology,
but in the form of technical and precise analog
mechanisms. Akin to the pin point precision with
which Swiss timepieces are constructed and
function the same is for the robotic part of the
combination. Unlike regular fairies though they
do not posses any special magical powers other
than the wings they use for short flight and the
flawlessly precise robotics that keeps them func-
tioning. They show an affinity toward mechanics
and their repair and maintenance. They help
those in need of emergency repair and have in
many cases saved those who are close to being
stranded at sea or worse.
Always keeping a watchful gaze and ever knowl-
edgable is a Kryptus. With the body of a wise avian
and the head and thought capacity of an ancient
all knowing being, the secrets held by this being
are unknown and are sought after by many. Hoard-
ing elusive knowledge is the sole purpose of this
being’s acts. Striving to save knowledge in any form
they have historically been noted collecting and
protecting written text of various kinds of all culture
as the understanding of all is deemed equally im-
portant to them and language seems not to be a
barrier. Due to this they are aggressively sought af-
ter by a variety of people of all kinds, ranging from
those who seek knowledge for knowledges’ sake
and also those who wish to use this knowledge for
any purpose. Rarely though does anyone ever get
the chance to interact with one of these creatures
due to their elusive nature and opinions they have
Kryptus of humans. Though there have been cases where
they have willingly shared information to those
who they have deemed worthy and deserving of it,
aiding them greatly in times of difficulty or turmoil.
It can be beneficial to approach and interact with a
Kryptus but be sure to bring an offering of knowl-
edge to stay on their good side.
Chidyx

For those who are deemed to be harmless by others and are de-
cidedly so there are a few ways in which they can survive in a harsh
world. In cases like this they use their image and the preconceived
notion which others have on them to gain an edge in life. Chidxys
are creatures who meander through life with this form of approach,
they both appear to be and are ‘cute’ in physicality, mimicking ten-
dencies that mean the same as well. They often impersonate the
personality of lost children, acting out their tendencies and expres-
sions with professional capacity which unfailingly draw the sympathy
of onlookers which they exploit to get what they want. Persuaded
onlookers often provide them with food, shelter and most other
amenities, and are extremely kind to the creatures for as long as
they stay. Some say due to this nature the influence they have on
others is not purely just physical and that of tendencies but those
which are mystical as well. Though in many cases a Chidyx might
use their influence to take advantage of those helping them but as
with humans is some good and some bad that exists.
Slithering through rough urban landscapes,
making their lives in the centre of thick dense
population. The Tiure is one who specialises in
the interaction between beings and the impli-
cations of the former. Due to this they excel in
interpersonal and trade situations, serving as a
mediator for those who can afford them. Due to
these skills they often tend to bring themselves
to situations of power by use of their interaction
with others. In many cases they exhibit greed for
the items they seek which are wide and varied,
displaying tendencies of hoarding for items that
seek their fancy. In addition to their communica-
tion and persuasive skill the physical intimidation
they possess is not to be taken lightly either. They
often use their appearance alone to persuade
those who are susceptible to such an advance.
It is often the case where people are needed to
seek out such creatures which the intention to
gain what they do not have or trade what they
have in often unfavourable circumstances. It is
often suggested to avoid contact with those of
this kind whatever the situation may be, though in
some cases it cannot be avoided. They do howev-
er show a flair and affinity toward hats of various
kinds, which can be used to the advantage of
anyone in possession of such items.

Tiure
In recent years the freshwater supply of the world
as been steadily decreasing, and as a result of this
the creatures in those habitats suffer as well. But
for some it serves as new grounds to survive even
under harsher conditions. A Dreel is a creature
which both at home in salt and fresh water con-
ditions, though they prefer cleaner smaller fresh
water settlements. They are the current em-
bodiment of the adage big fish in a small pond.
This also posed some problems as they would
soon disrupt and deplete the ecosystem of the
small water body before moving onto the next
in order to consume it. Them being omnivorous
often meant their flexibility in survival especial-
ly in terms of sustenance. However they do not
struggle to survive on these terms due to them
possessing one of natures most broken powers; Dreel
offensive Bioelectricity. They use this ability to
both overpower and dominate any situation they
find themselves in. Usually it is advisable to avoid
these creatures at all costs, due to their unpre-
dictability and offensive prowess.
Especially in nautical adventures there are a vari-
ety of tasks that need to be performed. From the Monogin
cleanliness of the vessel to the structural main-
tenance of it. In many cases the human special-
ists are spread thin and can often result in faulty
management and control. That’s where a being
such as a Monogin can aid. Extraordinarily gifted
they are specialising in the repair of nautical ves-
sels and similar equipment and so are employed
in the appropriate scenarios for the betterment of
the crew. They also show exemplary skill in vari-
ous other mechanical endeavours but are drawn
to those nautical as per their preference. They
are useful in their high technical knowledge and
innate ability to sense the primary issue in the
mechanics they tend to, holding knowledge and
skill akin to an experienced and seasoned profes-
sional. Due to their small size they are also able to
extend their reach to spaces not available to the
usual mechanic and repair crew. All these traits
considered, they do tend to be quite prideful and
boastful of their talents and skill, and deservedly
so. But in every other aspect they are akin to the
majority of humanoid forms.
Up in the skies, high above the clouds is an
entirely new world unknown to those the ground.
Behind the cover of the clouds is a thriving eco-
system with unique and mysterious creatures.
One of the largest, covering both and and air is
Bynor the Bynor. Bynors are legendary gigantic crea-
tures known to inhabit the skies. Contrary to their
immense size akin to a leviathan but generally
much larger than a sea dwelling one they are hard
to spot and are rarely ever seen, and even when
seen only display glimpses of their physical figure.
Few have had the luck to see their full body in
display but tales from those encounters depict a
massive presence covering the entirety of the sky.
They survive on the moisture and nutrients they
can retrieve from the sun and clouds and keep to
themselves as they do not require the interaction
with any other being. Bynors also have the ability
to change their colour according to the weather
season and time of day respectively. If one does
get the chance to interact with one of these
creatures, they must; especially in the case of an
aspiring adventurer.
This has been a glimpse into the wondrous world
of creatures that exist in conjunction with our
own. As an aspiring adventurer this would be the
guide that would get you started in this world.
Use this to your advantage in understanding
these creatures and how you should interact and
deal with them. Of course this does not cover
the entirety that of which the world of mythi-
cal beasts has to offer, that’s for you to explore
and document. The road ahead will not be easy
but remember that for every unsavoury person,
creature or experience you have there are al-
ways those who will aid you in these situation.
Remember that, help will always given, to those
who ask for it and even more so to those who
deserve it.
