Minorly Mentioned Myths and Monsters	comment	Some mythical creatures are well known enough to be recognized instantly. Cerberus the three-headed canine, the fish-tailed mermaids, and the fearsome dragon. Then there are those that one must assume were made up due to not being well known, such as the Nokk of Scandinavian folklore, the Cipactli of Aztec myth, and even a close sibling of the more well-known Cerberus, Orthrus. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This also applies to other kinds of made-up creatures, such as cryptids (Ever heard of the New Jersey Mantis Man?), or depictions of famous creatures that are either more accurate (such as a siren being depicted as a half-bird woman rather than being an alternative name for mermaid, which most people would call harpies), or borrow from a different depiction than popular culture (there is some Greek art of a two-headed Cerberus, and a hermaphroditic hag called as a Lamia, a name more used for Snake People these days, and werewolves turning into vampires when dying). Similar to its sister trope Seldom-Seen Species, it's a Cyclic Trope by nature, though possibly not quite to the same extent. Examples of this trope should be creatures of myth or folklore that are still seldom seen in media these days, or at least the depiction shown. Examples of older works that show these creatures or depictions that were rare in media at the time of the work's release but not that obscure now are also allowed. Gods and mythical figures can also count under this trope. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })If a creature of folklore or mythology is given the name of another creature without any basis from the original source, then it's Call a Pegasus a "Hippogriff". Often an example of Shown Their Work and/or Aluminum Christmas Trees. It should be pointed out that some creatures are more known some to others, such as the Nokk being well-known in Norway but pretty much is unknown in the rest of the world, but it should be pointed out the same applies to Seldom-Seen Species, possibly even more since that trope has a less likely chance to suffer Call a Pegasus a "Hippogriff", or Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp" in this case. Contrast Stock Monsters and Sadly Mythtaken.

Minorly Mentioned Myths and Monsters / int_16c9fb48	comment	Tokyo Afterschool Summoners: Makara hails from Deva Loka and is implied to have served as a vahana to Varuna. He looks like a blue humanoid crocodile and although he's fine on land he really livens up in the water. He is a member of Toyosu Marine Academy's water polo team and works as a lifeguard at the beach in Edogawa Ward. Makara has no alliances, only shows up during events, and is aggressively concerned with other people's safety and wellbeing, which is reflected in his restorative and movement-based skill list.

Minorly Mentioned Myths and Monsters / int_2f9afae7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: Let's be honest, you would have had no idea that the catoblepas (from Greek legend) even existed if it wasn't a monster in this game. Also, fun fact, the oddly named gorgon is a combination of this creature and another obscure creature of Greek myth (in this case the Argonautica) known as Colchis Bull, also known under its plural term Khalkotauroi. Other examples include the peryton (a stag-headed eagle that needs humanoid hearts to reproduce) and al'miraj (a giant unicorn-horned bunny). The peryton plays on the "mythical"; its earliest mention dates back to 1957, and it's believed it was created as a joke along the lines of "people will believe anything if you say it's in a lost medieval bestiary." And who would have guessed the Tarrasque is taken from mythology?

Scholars have been confounded by the fact that the deity who is described as one of the &A Elig;sir (Thor's stepson to be exact) does not appear in any myths at all, being confined to listings of the gods and occasionally invoked by humans (swearing upon his equally mysterious ring), yet has a wide array of places named after him.

Minorly Mentioned Myths and Monsters / int_3e6f35ef	comment	Re:Monster: The prey of Rou's first hunt on Day 4 is a Horn Rabbit, a brown rabbit with a 20 cm long horn on its head. He share the meat with Kichi, but keeps the horn to himself as a sharp and durable stabbing weapon. It proves useful the next day against bigger Horn Rabbits, of which he also confiscates the horns. On Day 92, the higher ranked Blade Rabbits are encountered, which rather than a horn has a blade on its head. It also has a collar of blades. Relative to the other monsters near the Kuuderun Great Forest, they remain easy prey. On Day 153, the final rank known as Vorpal Bunnies are encountered. These red-furred critters have the same blades as Blade Rabbits and also a blade on their tail. Because they can move in absolute silence and attack with both sides of their body, they are much more troublesome than the previous ranks, but still not too dangerous for what else dwells in the Jadar Mountains.

The creature is found in the Lamellia Temple and known to be excessively terratorial and dangerous on account of its powerful hind legs and sturdy horn. On the other hand, it isn't rare to find an al-mi'raj with their horn stuck in something a feet or more above the ground. In that case, its spine-chilling screeching when it's in a vulnerable position like that is enough to chase off most dangers.

Minorly Mentioned Myths and Monsters / int_45a29545	comment	The Secret Saturdays deals with several of these, by the very nature of the show. Here's a few from its dedicated Shown Their Work page, more of which is Here. The Cameroon flashlight frog is based on the real-life cryptid, the flashlight frog, first written about by Karl Shuker in his 1997 book, From Flying Toads to Snakes With Wings. It's said to be a tree frog with a glowing nose and a tongue covered in toxic saliva, traits that both made it into the show. The tapire-iauara is based on a folkloric creature from the Amazon rainforest by the same name. It's said to protect the forest from humans and attack people in boats. Argost's Nicaraguan blood-sucking vines are a reference to the vampire vine/devil's snare, a cryptid plant that can supposedly be found in the jungles of Nicaragua, which sucks the blood of any victim it touches.

Aunn Komano is a komainu, the Japanese variant of the East Asian guardian lion-dogs. Okina Matara may well be the highpoint of ZUN's worldbuilding efforts — she's based on Matara-jin, an esoteric deity of Tendai Buddhism who syncretised a truly staggering amount of Indian, Chinese, and Japanese deities including but not limited to: Mahakala, Mahakali, Dakini-ten, Benzaiten (Sarasvati), Hariti, Daikoku/Ookuninushi, Kunado-no-Kami, Shukujin, Dosojin, Ena-tenjin and also the aforementioned Hata no Kawakatsu, making her implicitly related to Kokoro and the Arch-Enemy of Eternity Larva.

Minorly Mentioned Myths and Monsters / int_6c5f135e	comment	Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?: White and yellow Needle Rabbits roam around on the 7th floor. They're rabbits with a horn on their heads and for the most part not dangerous, but if they launch themselves towards an enemy their horn and hit, the damage is severe if not lethal. A Needle Rabbit's horn is therefore considered quality weapon material. Bell and Lilly encounter these creatures in Volume 2 and in Volume 5 they get to deal with the related Al-Mirajs on the 13th and 14th floors. Al-Mirajs are like Needle Rabbits, but they walk on their hind legs, are on the smaller side of human-sized, and know how to handle weapons and combat strategy. Relative to the floor, Al-Mirajs are not more dangerous than Needle Rabbits unless they come in groups. Any Al-Miraj more to deal with than a group of adventurers has members poses a considerable risk.

Minorly Mentioned Myths and Monsters / int_8b5ad0b3	comment	Re:Zero: One of the Three Great Demon Beasts created by Daphne is the Great Rabbit. The Great Rabbit is a massive Hive Mind mi'raj colony that is carnivorous and insatiable. Daphne had created it to solve hunger because the Great Rabbit can instantly regrow its numbers, thus being a perpetual source of food, but Daphne also gave it her own endless hunger. One-on-one, the separate mi'raj have the benefit of being deceptively cute and in the possession of sharp teeth, but it's the sheer amount of bodies of the Demon Beast that is the true danger. At one point, it was estimated that there were 80.000 separate bodies. The Great Rabbit is effectively indestructible because its death would require every single body to be killed, so Beatrice uses the Al Shamak to lock it in another dimension.

Notable examples of these include ogres, which actively try to eat your party rather than just be orcish brutes, hydras which are giant, multi-headed snakes instead of something more draconic (and regenerating heads and weakness to cauterization are major elements of dealing with them in a reasonable time frame), and harpies that are large birds with the head and chest of a woman, rather than a woman with avian features. Dragon's Dogma Online introduced the Lindwurm as a more obscure monster, while matching the sea-dwelling aspect and wingless, draconic form.

Without Word Of God, it's hard to know which is deliberate and which is just coincidental similarities for some of these. Ancient Egyptians believed that all vultures are female, and they associated them with motherhood and virgin births (or, well, virgin egg laying). The vulture Pokémon, Vullaby and Mandibuzz, are always female, with a Pokedex entry mentioning no male has ever been found. Mandibuzz is somewhat associated with motherhood, as another Pokedex entry talks about it raising Vullaby, even lost ones that are not its own. Goomy and its evolutions Sliggoo and Goodra are dragons that resemble slugs and snails. They are based on giant snails, found in Medieval French folklore and artwork, that would scare knights. Fittingly, the line was introduced in games set in Kalos, the Pokémon World's Fantasy Counterpart Culture to northern France.

Minorly Mentioned Myths and Monsters / int_a6543322	comment	Touhou Project has a large menagerie of cute monster girls based on obscure species of youkai and sometimes specific Public Domain Characters that you've likely never heard of. Imperishable Night: Keine Kamishirasawa is a were-hakutaku. That means that on a full moon, she transforms into the Bai Ze, a creature from Chinese Mythology whose name in Japanese is read as "hakutaku". Eirin Yagokoro is probably named after Ame-no-Yagokoro-Omoikane-no-Mikoto, an obscure Japanese deity only known having come up with the plan to lure Amaterasu out of her cave. Mountain of Faith: The gods of the Moriya Shrine are based on the gods of Suwa-taisha. Kanako Yasaka is a Composite Character of Takeminakata-no-Mikoto and his wife Yasakatome-no-Mikoto, while Suwako Moriya is based on Moreya-no-Kami, the previous ruler of the land of Suwa, before being conquered by the aforementioned Takeminakata as well as the ancestor of the Moriya clan (Moreya being an archaic form of Moriya). Sanae Kochiya, meanwhile, is loosely based on a real person, Sanae Moriya, the 78th head of the same Moriya clan. Subterranean Animism: Kisume is a tsurube-otoshi. Parsee Mizuhashi is the Hashihime, a character mentioned in various Heian-era texts, including The Tale of Genji. The sisters Satori and Koishi Komeiji are satori, simian youkai with telepathy, and also borrow elements from Frida Kahlo's painting "The Two Fridas". Utsuho Reiuji received her powers from the three-legged crow Yatagarasu, messenger of Amaterasu. Undefined Fantastic Object: Nue Houjuu is, as her name implies, a nue. Hisoutensoku: The catfish that Meiling fought in her dream is probably a reference to the belief that earthquakes are caused by a giant catfish that lies under Japan. It's actually an avatar of the Chinese god Taisui Xingjun. Ten Desires: Kyouko Kasodani is a yamabiko, a youkai traditionally believed to be the cause of echoes. Seiga Kaku is based on Qing'e, a character from Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, whose name in Japanese is read as Seiga. Hopeless Masquerade: Hata no Kokoro is a menreiki, a type of tsukumogami composed of masks. She's specifically based upon the masks that Hata no Kawakatsu, the legendary father of what would become Noh theatre, received from Prince Shoutoku — whose Historical Gender Flip, Toyosatimimi no Miko, is another important character in Touhou. Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom: The initial antagonist of the game, Sagume Kishin, is the Touhou incarnation of the aforementioned Ame-no-Sagume, and explicitly related to Seija. Clownpiece is rather notable for being the first new character in over a decade to be based on Western mythology. Specifically, she's a lampad, a kind of nymph of madness associated with The Underworld in Classical Mythology. Junko is, in turn, referred to as a Fury in her boss theme and is based on Chún Hú, a figure from Chinese history and legend who conspired to murder her husband Hou Yi as revenge for his killing of her son Bo Feng.note Touhou conflates Hou Yi with the husband of Chinese moon goddess Chang'e, also named Hou Yi, which is why Junko has a grudge against the moon. Finally, the Bonus Boss is, surprisingly to many, a Greek goddess. Which one, you might ask - Athena? Artemis? Aphrodite? Demeter? Hera? Nope, it's Hecate, or as she's known as here, "Hecatia Lapislazuli". (Admittedly, Clownpiece's presence did sort of foreshadow her appearance, as lampades in Greek mythology are Hecate's companions.) Antinomy of Common Flowers: The Yorigami sisters are binbogami, Japanese deities associated with poverty. Hidden Star In Four Seasons: Eternity Larva is hinted to be secretly Tokoyo-no-Kami, an obscure 7th century local deity whose worship was outlawed by Hata no Kawakatsu. Aunn Komano is a komainu, the Japanese variant of the East Asian guardian lion-dogs. Okina Matara may well be the highpoint of ZUN's worldbuilding efforts — she's based on Matara-jin, an esoteric deity of Tendai Buddhism who syncretised a truly staggering amount of Indian, Chinese, and Japanese deities including but not limited to: Mahakala, Mahakali, Dakini-ten, Benzaiten (Sarasvati), Hariti, Daikoku/Ookuninushi, Kunado-no-Kami, Shukujin, Dosojin, Ena-tenjin and also the aforementioned Hata no Kawakatsu, making her implicitly related to Kokoro and the Arch-Enemy of Eternity Larva. Wily Beast and Weakest Creature: The first boss, Eika Ebisu, is based on Ebisu, one of the Seven Lucky Gods of Japanese Buddhism and the first-born child of Izanami. Yachie Kicchou is a jidiao, a Chinese turtle dragon. The final boss, Keiki Haniyasushin, is based on Haniyasuhime, goddess of soil and pottery and the last child of Izanami, making her the massively Stronger Sibling of Eika. Bonus boss Saki Kurokoma, meanwhile, is based on Kurokoma, the legendary flying horse owned by Prince Shotoku — the same Prince Shotoku that aforementioned Toyosatomimi no Miko is based upon.

Minorly Mentioned Myths and Monsters / int_b01be0fd	comment	Monster Sanctuary has several well-known mythical creatures as well as original ones, but some others are fairly obscure. Raduga is based on fènghuáng, a bird from east-Asian mythology that reigns over all other birds and is described as having the five fundamental colours (black, white, red, yellow, and green), similar to how Raduga's feathers represent the four elements. It's rarely referenced in non-Asian works. The Akhlut (an orca with legs that eats people) is based on an orca-like creature from Inuit folklore. The Ninki Nanka is based on a dangerous, aquatic reptile from West African folklore. The Tanuki is ubiquitous in Japanese works, but almost unheard of elsewhere. Kongamato is based on a cryptid from semi-tropical African countries that resembles a pterosaur and attacks canoers. Moccus is named after a pig-like god from Celtic mythology, and its description mentions people who worshipped a god who took the form of a boar.

One's on its nose, the other two are located at the corners of its mouth. It's classified as a Seirei Kemono, said to be the mount of a god, and apparently tastes delicious.

Belobog is especially obscure, at least compared to Chernobog due to Fantasia in the Films — Animation Section. Nittunak Fae Skunk God of Respect, Leadership, and Pursuit, is the last of his species called Aniwye. The Aniwye are malevolent maneating giant skunks with lethal musk. Nittunak was the only exception, thus why he's the only one left.

He realized that the horns of the critters are hollow and that they don't use them for offensive, but rather that they have them as a means to communicate. The horn is both an instrument and an antenna and by making the right sounds Ikuhara can make them perform complex maneuvers. The al-mi'rajs are also friendly, so Ikuhara doesn't have to win their trust first either.

Minorly Mentioned Myths and Monsters / int_bea3f08a	comment	Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom: The initial antagonist of the game, Sagume Kishin, is the Touhou incarnation of the aforementioned Ame-no-Sagume, and explicitly related to Seija. Clownpiece is rather notable for being the first new character in over a decade to be based on Western mythology. Specifically, she's a lampad, a kind of nymph of madness associated with The Underworld in Classical Mythology. Junko is, in turn, referred to as a Fury in her boss theme and is based on Chún Hú, a figure from Chinese history and legend who conspired to murder her husband Hou Yi as revenge for his killing of her son Bo Feng.note Touhou conflates Hou Yi with the husband of Chinese moon goddess Chang'e, also named Hou Yi, which is why Junko has a grudge against the moon. Finally, the Bonus Boss is, surprisingly to many, a Greek goddess. Which one, you might ask - Athena? Artemis? Aphrodite? Demeter? Hera? Nope, it's Hecate, or as she's known as here, "Hecatia Lapislazuli". (Admittedly, Clownpiece's presence did sort of foreshadow her appearance, as lampades in Greek mythology are Hecate's companions.)

A mutation of the more common Great Taurus, Lammasu share the appearance of their mythological inspiration, being giant, winged bulls with a human-like head. In contrast to the Mesopotamian lamassu, who were benevolent protective spirits, the Warhammer Lammasu are manipulative creatures that use their charisma and magical abilities to befuddle their enemies and compel other monsters, such as Wyverns and Griffons, to do their fighting for them. Lammasu are most often encountered as mounts for Chaos Dwarf sorcerers but many opponents question whether it is the rider or mount that is the master in their relationship.

Minorly Mentioned Myths and Monsters / int_c4282b71	comment	Something of note when it comes to My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is that due to a lack of humans, some of these creatures suffer designs variations from their original depictions, at least one being also an example of Call a Pegasus a "Hippogriff", but is still based off something obscure, a rare case of the tropes crossing over. Ahuizotl is himself based on a very obscure beast from ancient Mesoamerican folklore. "Trade Ya!" features an Orthros, a two-headed dog from Classical Mythology who is related to the more famous Cerberus. "The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone" has Arimaspi, yet another lesser-known mythological creature from Herodotus' writings. "Stranger than Fan Fiction" features the Cipactli, a crocodilian-like creature of Aztec Mythology. The second half of "School Daze" has pastel-coloured, long-tailed hedgehogs named after humanoid little people of the woods of Native American Mythology, pukwudgies. "Frenemies" has an ophiotaurus, a bull/snake chimera originally from a single poem by Ovid.

Minorly Mentioned Myths and Monsters / int_c524d51b	comment	Shang-Chi: In Issue 4, the protagonists make their way to Zheng Yi's grave in the Henan Province. Towards the end, they have to pass through a cave that houses a zhenmushou placed there by Zheng Zu. It looks like a mixture of a komodo dragon and a lion with antelope horns, is about thrice the height of a human, and has six human arms protruding from its mane. The zhenmushou guards the path to Zheng Yi's grave and just because the protagonists are Zheng Zu's children and Zheng Yi's niblings doesn't mean its not going to try and kill them. Because it is Chang-Shi who was called by Zheng Yi's spirit, Esme and Takeshi resolve to battle the zhenmushou so their brother can reach the gravesite. The two do well enough, eventually killing the creature when Chang-Shi returns, but before its demise the zhenmushou plants doubt about Chang-Shi's integrity in Takeshi's thoughts.

Minorly Mentioned Myths and Monsters / int_d8e0164e	comment	Lord of Shadows: Makaras are huge sea demons whose appearance is part octopus, part slug creature, topped by the oversized head of a bee. They furthermore have mottled green skin and tentacles covered in pink suckers. Makaras only rarely trade the ocean's bottom for the surface, and if they come on land that's a curiosity. If a makara's remains make it to shore, they dissolve into a puddle of green-pink goo within two days. So when the Shadowhunters find a makara's tentacle at Malcolm's house, a dilapidated residence quite a distance from the shore that is owned by a powerful but now dead warlock, and no reports that anyone saw such a creature, a number of questions come up. It is later deduced that Malcolm had enchanted the tentacle as a tool to command the sea demons in Los Angeles.

Minorly Mentioned Myths and Monsters / int_ea6f0a22	comment	ShadowVerse: There are both al-mi'rajs and bunnicorns, though the latter is not a rabbit in the original Japanese. Al-mi'rajs are a Havencraft species of which all members look like humans with rabbit ears and a horn on their foreheads. The looks of the ears and the horn differ per individual, and many express an affinity with the moon. There's Bashful Al-mi'raj, Moon Al-mi'raj, Ramina - Moon Al-mi'raj, Lethal Al-mi'raj, Charitable Al-mi'raj, Justine - Holy Al-mi'raj, Sword Al-mi'raj, Malevolent Al-mi'raj, Luxhorn Sarissa, and Sarissa -Luxflash Spear. Dropped from Rage of Bahamut are Al-mi'raj On Holiday, Curious Al-Mi'raj, and Summertime Moon Al-mi'raj. Bunnicorn is the English identification for a creature that's only identified as a beast in Japanese. It looks like a cross between a rabbit and a dog, something which becomes more pronounced in its evolved form on the Mysterian Summoner Vayle card. It has a horn and its evolved form has wings to boot. It and Vayle are part of the Runecraft class.
