Game and Story Use
- Using creatures out of mythology can give critters in your campaign a greater degree of verisimilitude - at least, as far as this is possible with blatantly supernatural entities.
- Don't hesitate to alter them to suit your campaign to keep your players on their toes.
- Sometimes a mythological creature will look mundane until it experiences a glamour failure.
