Anyway that's my tirade. Joseph will raise an eyebrow at eclipse's name I'll tell you that now. 

@SpiritOfWrath the eye turns to you... how on earth did Aelorin occur

Aelorin is a very fancy name from rich, eccentric parents that were able to secure a spot for him in high level military training for the insurance benefits.

Oh his dad is Elon Musk? That makes sense now. That's tame for him, actually.

I, too, am interested if I can play a mythological figure (not necessarily a dragon). The myths have been released, and they will definitely want to gather a following as fast as they can

[CoderDrag0n8 He/They]

Oh also, If I am a mythological figure, do I have to be a known one? Like can I make-up my own?

Be a known one. That's more fun. If you want a list of mythological dragons I can I help.

But that RP appears to focus less on the gods, more on the magic.

Obscure mythological creatures

kudos to chat GPT

1. The Bonnacon (Roman & Medieval Bestiaries)

• Looks like: A bull with a horse’s mane and curled horns.

• Stupid ability: It defends itself by blasting a fiery, toxic poop explosion over a vast area. If you chase it, it will literally fart in your face and set you on fire.

2. The Catoblepas (Ancient Greece & Rome)

• Looks like: A cow or buffalo with a heavy head that always hangs down.

• Stupid ability: It’s so ugly and toxic that anything that looks into its face dies instantly. Luckily, it's too dumb to lift its own head, so it kills nothing.

3. The Amphisbaena (Ancient Greece & Rome)

• Looks like: A snake with a second head where its tail should be.

• Stupid ability: It can move in any direction by rolling like a wheel. Also, the Romans believed eating it cured colds.

4. The Yale (Medieval Europe)

• Looks like: An antelope with rotating horns.

• Stupid ability: Its horns can swivel in any direction to block attacks, but somehow it still gets hunted all the time.

5. The Leucrota (Medieval Bestiaries)

• Looks like: A horrifying hybrid of a lion, hyena, and horse.

• Stupid ability: It has no teeth, just a solid bone plate for gumming prey to death. Worse, it can perfectly mimic human speech—but it just uses this power to lure people into the woods and presumably gum them to death.

6. The Vegetable Lamb of Tartary (Medieval Mythology)

• Looks like: A sheep that grows on a plant like a fruit.

• Stupid ability: The lamb is attached to its plant by a vine and can only graze as far as the vine lets it. Once it eats all the grass around it, it starves to death.

7. The Basilisk (Ancient Rome & Medieval Europe)

• Looks like: A tiny snake or chicken-lizard hybrid.

• Stupid ability: It’s supposedly the deadliest creature ever, able to kill people with a glance… yet it dies instantly if it sees its own reflection. Farmers also believed weasels were immune to it for some reason, so they just tossed weasels into basilisk-infested holes.

8. The Ziphius (Medieval Europe)

• Looks like: A giant sea monster with the head of an owl.

• Stupid ability: It attacks ships for no reason, despite not having arms or any way to actually do damage.

9. The Sciapod (Ancient Greece & Rome)

• Looks like: A human with one gigantic foot.

• Stupid ability: Instead of running, it lies on its back and uses its foot as an umbrella. It can still hop around, but apparently, it just prefers to lie down and chill.

10. The Aspidochelone (Ancient Greece & Medieval Europe)

• Looks like: A turtle so big that sailors mistake it for an island.

• Stupid ability: It just sits there until people try to build a fire on its back, then it suddenly wakes up and dives, drowning everyone. This happens all the time.

Would you like even dumber ones? There's plenty m

1. The Blemmyes (Ancient Greece & Roman Mythology)

• Looks like: A humanoid body without a head, but with faces on their chests.

• Stupid ability: These headless people wander around, and their faces on their chests somehow talk. Somehow, this makes them incredibly scary to ancient writers, even though it’s basically just a walking torso with an existential crisis.

2. The Hugag (American Folklore, 19th Century)

• Looks like: A gigantic moose, but with the head of a bear.

• Stupid ability: It’s too lazy to hunt and survives by eating trees. But here’s the kicker: it can only eat trees with its mouth, so it has to sit down and just… wait for the tree to fall over from boredom.

3. The Wyrm (Medieval & Norse Mythology)

• Looks like: A giant, twisted, serpentine dragon.

• Stupid ability: Unlike a dragon that can fly and breathe fire, this "wyrm" is essentially a huge worm that can't really do much except slither around and act menacing. It's just a snake that really overhyped itself.

4. The Mokele-Mbembe (Central African Folklore)

• Looks like: A sauropod dinosaur, but with a long trunk like an elephant.

• Stupid ability: It's claimed to live in rivers, yet people keep claiming to see it without any solid evidence. Its most notorious feature? It supposedly doesn't eat anything and just hangs out in the water like a big, confused puddle.

5. The Piasa Bird (Native American Myth)

• Looks like: A dragon-like bird with the face of a human.

• Stupid ability: It’s described as eating humans, but it’s constantly defeated by warriors who just shoot arrows at it. In some stories, it can be outwitted by a basic human tactic: sitting still.

6. The Nuckelavee (Scottish Folklore)

• Looks like: A terrifying, headless horseman with no skin, its muscles and veins exposed.

• Stupid ability: This creature supposedly brings about pestilence and bad weather, but it has the habit of being completely ineffective in rain or snow, because it’s essentially just a wet, sad horse-man hybrid with no real purpose.

7. The Snallygaster (American Folklore)

• Looks like: A bird with a mechanical beak and one eye in the center of its head.

• Stupid ability: It’s supposed to swoop down and eat children, but it’s also so absurdly slow that no one’s ever actually seen it catch anything, let alone a human. It’s essentially a bird that’s also trying to be a monster but failing on every level.

8. The Chaneques (Mexican Folklore)

• Looks like: A little forest spirit with elf-like features.

• Stupid ability: The Chaneques are supposedly responsible for getting lost in the forest. They do this by creating confusing paths, but the trick is they also get lost themselves… so they just wander around in circles.

9. The Grootslang (South African Mythology)

• Looks like: A giant serpent with the head of an elephant.

• Stupid ability: It’s said to be incredibly powerful and dangerous, but it spends most of its time just being trapped in a cave, unable to leave because it’s too large. Most sightings are people wandering close enough to the cave and wondering what’s in there. It’s like a very confused giant snake-elephant who never got its act together.

10. The Bunyip (Australian Folklore)

• Looks like: A swamp-dwelling beast that could be anything from a huge reptile to a giant frog or seal.

• Stupid ability: The Bunyip is said to make terrifying noises at night, but it’s terrible at actually doing anything. Most sightings are just people hearing weird sounds and going, "I bet that’s a Bunyip!" without ever seeing the thing.

If we can, Im thinking of being an Aztec deity (not sure which yet) trying to avert the end of the world. Basically, in Aztec mythology there is this giant beast/sea monster/earth goddess called Tlaltecuhtli, who the Aztecs believed had to be regularly appeased by human sacrifice to prevent her from bringing about the end of the world. But now Tlaltecuhtli has reawakened, and the clock is ticking…

Oh, wonderful! Like I said, thinking of an Aztec deity, but still not sure which one…

I also have some more ideas about this to share later
