Hero
A lot of replacements are more folkloric, so I wouldn't say it's very Talislanta-ish. It is kind of "anime-ish" in that it has kind of a unique cosmology in the background that is definitely not traditional fantasy, but something more story-oriented and flashy. I would say the ghouls in this book are a nice callback to real world mythology as well as Ravenloft. The effigies are all clearly Ray Harryhausen attack statues. To me, it's honestly less drastic a change than, say, how Eberron presents traditional D&d elements.
