    I won the last Pass It Forward bounty, so I get the honor of hosting Pass It Forward #10!

    This round is all about Mythological Creatures — and I’m keeping it wide open on purpose. Bring me folklore, legends, cryptids, RPG bestiary beasts, and even creature lore from movies/TV/literature. If it’s a creature with a name and a mythic vibe, it belongs here.

    👉 Enter here: Pass It Forward #10


    The Theme: Mythological Creatures (wide-open interpretation)

    Accepted sources include:

    • Mythology / folklore / legend

    • Cryptids / cryptozoology

    • RPG bestiaries / monster manuals / fantasy creature books

    • Movies / TV / literature

    Requirement: You must NAME the creature and preferably include a link to an online source (Wikipedia is totally fine).
