[QUOTE="Shadowdragon, post: 1599451, member: 20142"] @remathilis - Animals with mythic abilites are usually rare or unique cases. Since I'm including Dire animals I may include normal animals with mythic abilites. Got a list? @CCamfield - You are welcome to use it. I just wish something similar had been inlcuded in the OGL Ancients book. Catoblepas' (catoblepi?) were often mistaken for the D20 version of the Gorgon (metal skinned mull that head breath that could turn people to stone, oe kill them outright) in greek mythology. I don't know if the original catoblepas came from Greece. If anyone knows where this creature actually came from please let us know. Cockatrices and Basalisks are two names for the same creature. I'm fairly certain it came from Greek mythology. Elementals, at least the ones from the MM, are modern versions of ancient Greek elementals (salamander = fire, Sylph = air, gnome = earth, and I forget what = water). I just decided to use the more modern version, since only the Sylph is the same as the D20 Sylph. The others don't have D20 stats, or have stats that make them very different creatures. Hippogriffs were created when a Griffon mated with a Mare. I only found references for them in Greek mythology, but they may have come from Persian or Assyrian mythology (both of which also have Griffins). Someone told me that something like the Stirge existed in Greek mythology, some kind of vampiric bird or something. I can't find a name so I kept Stirge. As for Dragons, I think you're right. I think I may just replace Dragons with the Linnorm (from MM2) and the Sea Drake (from FF). There are no stats for a Giant Vulture as far as I know. They would just end up being the same thing. My campaign wont be going as far as Asia. I think I saw some references to Manticore in Greek mythology (can't remember where though) which is why I stuck them under Greek. Since it looks like other will be using this list I may have to add Asian creatures. Are there stats for a Dire bull anywhere? If not I may have to come up with some stats for one. Where is this, Greece? [/QUOTE]
