Discussion Mythical beast/monster/creature and what is it origin

So after reading almost 3 doz of novel more or less...
i start to feel like i want to know abt those Mythical beast/monster/creature

i want to see their rank or perhaps who is strongest, who is holies, who is weakest...

is peng stronger than dragon. why garuda is dragon nemesis. why fox always 9 tails.

NB.
- if there is thread discussing this please merge them.
- if sharing monster. please include some picture in spoiler.

 

Which one is the strongest? It really depends on the authors. I mean cat can kill a dragon if the author wishes to write so

 

They base a lot of things on myths/folk tale/whatever ~ lol

 

Given the right circumstances and situations anything can kill anything else.

 

Its all based on mythological stories and legends. For more information regarding them, you will need to delve deep into Chinese legends and mythological stories.

As for dragon and garuda, well dragon is a type of snake while Garuda is a type of eagle. Eagle and snake are mortal enemies as eagle loves eating snakes...so garuda also loves eating dragon

 

hmmm... got some info from this site

Foxes grow a tail every 100 years, and the more they have the stronger they are (the max is 9)

 

Here's a site if you wish to read up on Japanese mythology.

Most uses of mythological beasts come from myths and legends created hundreds of years ago. In them they talk about nine tailed foxes and garuda and so forth.

Unless you want to read published books focusing on a few myths or cultures and the creatures within them you might find wikipedia to you liking. They quite often have pages regarding most myths. E.g. Foxes

 

The strongest one is definitely big foot.

Dragon? Stomped. Peng? Stomped. Phoenix? Stomped. Packs of lego? Stomped.

 

thats true...

yeah i really like to know who is whom nemesis.
or who is best with who

other thing is i really want to know... when they put them in the novel. will they still follow their original background or will it be changed...

 

My favourite mythical beast is gumiho/kumiho, it was based on korean folklore, it can also change it's own gender whenever it likes as a beautiful girl, handsome man, loli, shota or whatever else : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumiho , how about you all?

 

Well most of the novels might tweak some details ,regarding the mythical beasts, here and there but the main points should all be there.

 

Every mythology has its final Boss who is considered the strongest. Like Apophys in Egytian, Tartarus in Greek, Fenris in Norse, etc. In Hindu mythology, we actually worship he God of destruction Shiva, who is like the ender of the world. The Christians have something similar as well I assume. So the strongest in any myth is basically the one who ends up destroying the mythical universe.

 

Never read a cat killing dragon, but a mouse killing saint, immortal, and God. There is one called bebe.

 

genius doctor have a pet soul of cat. that can transform into big cat...

so...
for roc, garuda, vermillion bird(aka zhu que), phoenix...
what is their rank...

 

The kitsune beats them all! Just look at the fairly new fox we find in "Maou-sama no Machizukuri!".


The Yuki-Onna is quite nice as well though...

 

imo dragon is closer to reptile than a snake ;p

 

I agree with you. And some "rat" can actually devour a God.

 

well, i love kitsune too but the first one i know is gumiho from Lost Saga rare heroes (my favourite hero), after that gumiho/kumiho become my favourite mythical beast... After that i learn about kitsune (in japanese, it's fox) but it was too late... Gumiho is still first in my list!

 

Its also all the Author imagination. From Anime and Manga. It has a lot influence to CNs sometimes. Fantasy RPG creatures gives them ideas
