Hero_Lucina Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I know this sounds weird but I'm writing a Monster Emblem Au where everyone minus Anthony and an oc are monsters and I wanted some feedback Monsters I have Spoiler Vampire: Berkut, Rinea, Alm Werewolf: Legion, Lyn Succubus: Sonya, Camilla Incubus: Leon Demon: Rein, Olwen Harpy: Henry (crows) Lukas (freedom plus someone on amino suggested it) Medusa: Python Weresheep: Genny (I had to) Fairy/Fae: Faye (get it?) I'm doing all FE games (not every character tho. I'm already doing 288 or so fantrolls for Homestuck please spare me mercy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhoop Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 It's a cool idea. Can't say I have the time to think about this extensively at the moment. Also, what do you mean by "Au"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragoncat Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Is there really such thing as a weresheep though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhoop Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Any type of lycantrope (correct spelling??) can exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NPR Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) My randomized Sacred Stones runs have solidified my perception of some units as very specific monsters. That being said, the only one I take issue with is werewolf Lyn. If Lyn is gonna be a monster she has to be a bit more elegant. Maybe the Kitsune from Fates would be a better fit. Also, wait, you said 288 fantrolls? I hope you are getting commissioned for that amount of content.

vanguard333 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) Interesting idea. Just to be clear, are they monsters, or just fantasy/folkloric creatures? For instance, the Minotaur is a monster, but a Fae is really a creature. Monster implies malevolence. I have a few ideas you can add if you want: Dullahan (an Irish Headless Horseman): Camus, Eldigan, Ares Elf: Shinon Dark Elf: General Petrine Would it be funny, or just uncreative if I also jokingly suggested: Dragon: any manakete? By the way: you listed: Fairy/Fae: Faye. What exactly do you mean? Fairy typically is used to refer to the tiny butterfly-winged creatures created by the Victorian English, while Fae is usually used to refer to the fairies from Celtic Folklore, which are very different creatures. Which type of fairy are you referring to? Edited January 19, 2018 by vanguard333 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's creatures in general, but I said monster emblem to sound cooler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tiny butterfly-winged creature created by the Victorian English, and popularized by characters like Tinkerbell and others. 2. The fairies of Celtic Folklore: they are vulnerable to iron, live in Otherworld, are often humanoid in shape and size, and are very skilled at magic; especially glamour: a type of illusion magic present in Celtic Folklore. In the folklore, they were creatures to be respected, and creatures to be feared. When fantasy worlds identify a creature using names like Fae, Faye, or Faerie, this is what they are usually referring to. The Faerie Queen Titania in A Midsummer Night's Dream is this type of fairy. The Lady of the Lake in Arthurian Legend is also commonly written as this type of fairy. Have you ever heard of the fairy rings and fairy mounds in Great Britain and Ireland? Well, one can guess which type of fairy the name is referring to. Given your confusion, I'm guessing you're thinking of the fairy type (1). It's a common mistake. Only in more recent fantasy media is there starting to be more characters based on the faeries of Celtic Mythology, rather than the little butterfly-winged creatures that I, as someone quite fascinated by Celtic Folklore, wish the Victorian English had never referred to as fairies.
