In Which Diversity Isn't a Myth

Ok. Iโ€™m tired of the typical vampire, werewolf and fairy.Iโ€™m also tired of the occidental-centrism in mythology. Hence, this list.ย 

I tried to included as many cultural variants as I could find and think of. (Unfortunately, I was restricted by language. Some Russian creatures looked very interesting but I donโ€™t speak Russianโ€ฆ) Please, add creatures from your culture when reblogguing (if not already present). It took me a while to gather all those sites but I know it could be more expansive. I intend on periodically editing this list.ย 

Of note: I did not include specific legendary creatures (Merlin, Pegasus, ect), gods/goddesses/deities and heroes.

  • References on Folklore and Mythology Across the Globe
  • References on writing a myth or mythical creatures

(I have stumbled upon web sites that believed some of these mythical creatures exist todayโ€ฆ Especially dragons, in fact. I just had to share the love and scepticism.)

This is perfect for my latest project ^~^

Idk if itโ€™s stupid or what, but felt like contributing:

the Munaciello, a little trickster spirit from my hometown, can be benevolent or malevolent. The article in English isnโ€™t quite accurate on wikipedia, but hereโ€™s a link tomost Neapolitan legends from the city website http://www.comune.napoli.it/flex/cm/pages/ServeBLOB.php/L/EN/IDPagina/5654

OP, Thank you so muchย for putting this reference together. Iโ€™ve been working on an original novel that involves dragons from all over the world, and Iโ€™ve been having a hell of a time finding good information on non-European dragons.

All the other information is sure to be helpful for the future, as well, I am sure!

May I contribute: la ciguapa (one of my personal favs)
