One of my favourite folktales is 'The Mermaid of Zennor'. It's a Cornish tale which tells about a mermaid who falls in love with Mathey Trewella, the best singer of the parish. The couple disappears and are never seen on land again.

King Arthur's Knights were once rescued from a terrible fate when they became lost in a fog drenched swamp travelling back towards Camelot, by a strange white lion, a creature of the fairy folk of Wales, the Tylwyth Teg. Art self, for Wrexham folktales.

Umbriel is the last Earth Mother (and would've certainly been killed with the other Earth Mothers if the aristocrats of Panagea knew how to manufacture oxygen without trees). She's considered a folk tale until her return.
