Monster references
« on: April 20, 2012, 06:18:48 AM »
I'm looking for online references to world monsters and demons, not just the usual stuff that we all know about but more obscure stuff, any links or posts about monster/demon/folk tales from around the world sites would be helpful..

If you don't mind going to print, I'd like to recommend dropping by a Barnes and Nobles and looking for an encyclopedia of mythology. There are several different editions, some affordable, which cover quite a bit of international myth and lore. Your local library is also invaluable for such research.

Do you hate books? Is this because you hate books? I'm a librarian, you know. I take this stuff personally...

Thanks all!

Paul - NICE!!!!

Spenoza: my local library is my next stop. On a side note, I checked out SuperGods by Grant Morrison. FANTASTIC book. Couldn't recommend it enough.

I want to contribute to this thread, and, seeing as this is PCE world, you might find this bit of trivia interesting:

Spriggan is an ugly little fairy (no, don't even attempt to make a lame joke). They can alter their size, too, when necessary.





Anyway, spriggan should not be confused with Ghost Warrior Spriggan (aka Spirit Soldier Spriggan):

Naxat was a developer that hailed from...Japan, I believe.

Yes, I'm 90% certain that Ghost Warrior Spriggan (Spirit Soldier Spriggan) is of Japanese origin.
