half-dragon dragon
First Post
For fleshing out a campaign idea I'm looking for mythological creatures that have some form of 'elemental' affiliation, and hoping I could get some help from all of you folks. The 'elements' in question are fire, earth, water, wind, storm, forest, and shadow. The only restrictions I'm placing on them is that they cannot be a dragon of some sort, and they cannot be too humanoid in form. Bonus points if the creature has reptilian, avian, or feline features as well. I'm looking for two of each element, except for water, and while I'm hoping to find mythological creatures, if there is some strong connection for a mundane animal, like fire and the salamander, I'll take it. What I have so far is as follows;
Fire: Phoenix & Salamander
Earth: Basilisk & ? (I would pick the cockatrice, but its a little too similar to the basilisk)
Water: Hydra
Wind: Roc & ?
Storm: Thunder bird (is there a better name for this) & ?
Forest: ?
Shadow: ?
So as you can see, I need a lot of help here. It doesn't matter where the creature comes from, I would just like them to be from real world myth. Thanks in advance for any ideas and suggestions.
EDIT: I should also mention that those above are subject to change if a better idea comes along.
