Mytheners

Mytheners

Mythology abounds with mythological creatures. Spirits, monsters, even gods. I call them "mytheners".
Many of these have 'evolved' through the ages, often becoming more evil, heroic or child-friendly through the centuries. Especially in the modern age with an abundance of books, movies and games the mytheners have changed, sometimes beyond recognition. The pages here are a pull in the other direction: back to the originals, back to the 'true' mytheners, as far as they ever existed, in order to keep them alive in the minds of men.

Devils, daemons and demons Not the same thing!
Orcs Tolkien's creation
Trolls Night stalkers
Zombies Sullen undead
