: Re: Source ideas for monsters in a fantasy novel? Does anyone have any suggestions on where to go to get some ideas on different types of monsters that can be created for a fantasy novel? I'm

RPG games are the great source of ideas for monsters, as good as spells. Some of them have quite a lot of magical creatures.

One of the games I've played have very many creatures with very strange names. This was Vallheru clone. In fact I've played in 2 Vallheru clones, Orodlin and Khazbanar, but both are based on the same source code available for free here: sourceforge.net/projects/vallheru/
I don't have the account there now, but there was a small description site for each of the monsters. All in Polish, but google translate would give you the idea what's going on. The names of the monsters can be found in SQL file in source code, here are some of them:

Orog
Lassaukaur
Dragon Beattle
Ekkimu
Alaghi
Kyton
Vintaru
Mymic
Mefith
Worg
Allip
Ettercap
Aranea
Girallon
Yuan-ti
Chuul
Lammasu
Beschalor
Couatl

Playing a lot of RPG games and noticing the ideas from them will also help you. Thanks to your question I've realized how much of this magic stuff I have forgotten.
