Creatures of the Mythical Realm

[Sanada Tomo]

Because of the greed of Humans in collecting specimens for magic rituals from Mythical creatures, the Celestial were force to relocate them to the Draconic Realm which was offered to them.

The creatures who now reside there include:

The Phoenix:

The sayings are true. There is only one Phoenix in every world. Because of this, not all of them reside in the Mythical Realm. Every realm has a phoenix of a different element; The Phoenix of Fire resides in the Mythical Realm as it was the first to exist, created by the residual magic of the Fire Element.



However, the only other one known to public record is the Water Phoenix, discovered in the Mortal Realm after all creatures (with itself as an exception) moved to the Mythical Realm.

All Phoenixes are said to have the same properties; their plumes can delay death, and their tears--when added as proper ingreidents to a potion--can heal almost any toxin. It is said that they were one of the few creatures created through the merging of magic that occured when the Dragons explored the Mortal Realm. They are supposedly the only creatures whose lives stretch as long as the Shijin's; they never die.

Gryffins:

Gryffins are peaceful creatures who live and raise their young like any other creatures. They were coveted for their thick wings and sturdy beaks, which could be used to reinforce any number of inventions. They make great pets, and can be used for battle, flying, and many other tasks.

Sphinxes:

Known more commonly by Mortals for their guardian-like jobs and riddles, Sphinxes are very bitter towards Humans. There are only four in the Mythical Realm; Human magicians, when irritated by their riddles, would turn them to stone, leaving them as monuments to their leaders of their countries.

Sphinxes are creatures with a woman's head, sometimes ram's horns, the lowerbody of the lion, and usually wings. There are different combinations for proportions.

Mermaids and Men:

Half fish and half human, Mermaids and Merman were of the first creatures to inhabit the Mortal Realm besides Humans. They have lived there as long as the werewolves. They usually have their own settlements along the coastlines and their own villages deep below. Women in Mermaid culture are considered to be goddesses, and they are emphasized more than men, which is why they are more widely known in kind than the males.

Merman:



Mermaid:


There are also type of Mermaids and Merman that are specific to certain species of fish. For example:

Dolphin breed Mermaid:



Sea Serpent Mermaid:

Unicorns:

Unicorns are, of course, coveted for their horns--which possess healing power. However, the one thing that Mortals fail to realize is their attention and dedcation for battle. They are born warriors, and are capable of speaking any language telepathically. They come in a variety of colors and designs, and are known to separate themselves into groups, sometimes even small families.




Winged Horses:

Much like Unicorns, they have the gift to speak all language; but other than flying, that is their greatest asset. They are generally kind towards people and won't be easily provoked into battle.

Centaurs:

Centaurs to the Mortal Realm are known as simply creatures who live together in tribes that are broken up into families. They hunt for food together, worship together--much like human beings--and are recognized by their horse's makeup from the torso down. However, like merpeople, they have different subspecies of sub centaur--which isn't included in Mortal lore--which consist of those with the bodies of deer as well as oxen. They are capable of using magic as well.
