the thing about stock fantasy monsters and people and things is that even the most stock ones have some WILD stuff happening before they were standardized.

a unicorns horn was said to be so strong unicorns escaped hunters by jumping off cliffs and landing on the horn, which absorbs the impact. drinking dragon blood lets you understand birds. and don’t even get me STARTED on trolls, fantasy genre did them a massive disservice by turning them into just “big ugly dumb guy”.

horror sub-genres • mythological horror

this horror genre is rooted in the mythos of a culture. these films are based on the legends we heard growing up that scared us. this sub-genre is closely associated with folk horror.

Drew some creatures that live in a semi-living-semi-decaying-petrifying dungeon! Setting: Carcass Dungeon is a giant petrifying creature with an interior resembling that of a typical dungeon, albeit more flesh based. There are boney spire forests, caves of fat and lakes of blood, surrounded by muscular stone-flesh and riddled with arterial hallways. The deeper you go, the fleshier it becomes. Deeper down also has more mana which equates to weirder animals.

Bonus design tidbits:

The wolf mole I took traits of a star nosed mole, golden sand shrew, wolf and orca teeth! For the bore worm I mostly based it off of a normal earth worm but also added the ring hooks of a tape worm and a flattened tail of a sea snake. Blood weevil was a weevil and a honeypot ant. Cave troll was a proboscis monkey, elephant seal, gorilla’s stance, bear feet and ant eater claws.

The Skitterer was the first doodle that launched this idea and while more whimsical, I included it here to show were I got the idea from.

Hey Patrochilles fandom!

It looks like an AI Bro (coughLOSERcough) is using ChatGPT to write fanfiction. Unfortunately, ChatGPT is not technically against Ao3's TOS. But as you can see the fic is tagged "trolling," so I think this could possibly be reported as abuse or spam.
