🛡️This Guy?🛡️
This guy is Guy of Warwick, and he's your guy. But only if you need someone to be the best guy in the world at fighting and killing. It's just too bad Guy hates being that guy.
😈 The Creature: Freybug and the Barguest
Two black dogs who might give you wounds that will never heal, or maybe just stand there awkwardly until you leave.

416: Hans Christian Andersen: Humbugs
🪲They're not so different🪲
One is the king of the world, and the other is a beetle. One wants to fight God, the other wants to wear golden horse shoes. When it comes to being completely arrogant and insufferable, though, they have more in common than you might think. It's two fairy tales of pride and power from Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen.
😈 The Creature: The Elle-folk
They're NOT elves. They just look and act like them and have a very similar name but if you say they're elves hope you enjoy your VERY sick cow.

415: Aesop's Fables: Bray it Ain't So
🫏One little rent-a-donkey, one big journey🫏
Actually he's a full-grown rental donkey but the journey is a big one because, when you're a poorly treated rental donkey and you have a chance to escape, you take it. Then, spend the rest of the time trying to get back to captivity because the world is dangerous and scary.
😈 The Creature: Eikthymir
The giant stag from Norse myth that makes it rain...rain. He's not as cool as his friend, who has alcohol constantly flowing out of her udders.

🐷Sun Wukong is a bad friend🐷
But, to be fair, he never said he and Pigsy were friends...because you don't send your friends to dinner parties where everyone is trying to murder you.
😈 The Creature: Each Tened
A horse committed to justice. If the punishment for every crime was searing thigh fire.

413: European folklore: Justice
🔔Ring the bell for justice🔔
Want justice? Ring the bell. Doesn't matter if you're a horse or a snake or a merchant or a peasant but if you're one of the latter two probably don't get caught ringing the bell of justice. King Charlemagne puts of a bell of justice and consequences ensue.
😈 The Creature: The Dun Cow
A giant cow that just wants to give your free groceries. Just don't try to take more than your fair share.

Jason Weiser and Carissa Weiser tell stories from myths, legends, and folklore that have shaped cultures throughout history. Some, like the stories of Aladdin, King Arthur, and Hercules are stories you think you know, but with surprising origins. Others are stories you might not have heard, but really should. All the stories are sourced from world folklore, but retold for modern ears. These are stories of wizards, knights, Vikings, dragons, princesses, and kings from the time when the world beyond the map was a dangerous and wonderful place.
