Impossible Creatures is a children's fantasy novel by Katherine Rundell. It was originally released in the United Kingdom on the 14th of September 2023.In the sea between Canada and Denmark lies the Archipelago, a place magically hidden from the rest of the world where mythical creatures live alongside humans. Christopher is a boy from England who learns he's from a long line of guardians of the Waybetween, a lake that connects the Archipelago and the outside world. After the portal unexpectedly opens, he meets Mal, a girl who's running from a murderer, and Gelifen, who may be the last griffin in the world. Together, they set off on an adventure across the Archipelago to find out why magical creatures are dying.Not to be confused with the 2003 PC game of the same name. | |

Fantastic Nature Reserve: The Archipelago is the last place on Earth where magical creatures live, because it's where the Background Magic Field is at its strongest. A long time ago, it was hidden away from the outside world to protect them from human civilisation. | |

Unicorn: Unicorns in the Archipelago can live for over 300 years and have all sorts of healing powers. However, they have an aggressive streak, since they'll trample most people who try to ride them. Their horns can ward off karkadans, which are viscious, carnivorous, unicorn-like creatures who kill for sport and have toxins dripping from their horns. | |

Reincarnation | |
Impossible Creatures (2023) / int_50f5dabe | comment |
Reincarnation: The Immortal is the reincarnation of the Glimourie Tree's first apple. The soul has passed through many species, and remembers all of its past lives. That was, until 100 years ago. Its current incarnation, a man named Marik, became overwhelmed by his duty and all the memories, so he drank a powerful potion to forget he was the Immortal. It was so potent that his reincarnations don't have the memories, either, so nobody's been able to track them. | |

Our Nymphs Are Different: The Archipelago is home to nereids, who are Apparently Human Merfolk with silvery hair; and dryads, who are very protective of the trees they live in and are implied to be all female. Naiads are also mentioned (and seem to be distinct from nereids), but they don't appear. | |

Sacrificial Lion: Gelifen, Mal's last companion and the whole reason Christopher learned about the Archipelago, dies because Mal tries to give up and go home, runs into Adam, and learns why he was trying to kill her. In the scuffle, Adam mortally wounds Gelifen. This motivates Mal to finally stop denying that she's the Immortal. | |

Background Magic Field: Magic, called the Glimourie, entered the world when the first tree grew. It flows through the ground and water, and is at its strongest in the Archipelago. If the tree suffers, then magical creatures will start to die. | |

Riddling Sphinx: Belhib tells the heroes that sphinxes ask riddles for three reasons: so their island isn't swamped by visitors looking for the answers to trivial questions, to encourage people to think for themselves, and so they can eat people who give the wrong answers. Naturally, his mother Naravirala makes each of the humans answer a riddle (including the classic Riddle of the Sphinx) before they can ask her why the Glimourie — the magic that keeps magical creatures alive — is fading. | |

Talking the Monster to Death | |
Impossible Creatures (2023) / int_e92841f | comment |
Talking the Monster to Death: Christopher's standard tactic when someone is trying to kill him is to distract them by asking questions. It works, once. He convinces the jaculus guarding the tree of living gold to not kill him by giving him a name. | |
