In Slavic folklore, firebird is a brightly coloured bird reminiscent of flames, hence the name. In tales, written by Alexander Afanasyev, Karel Jaromír Erben, and others, the bird is a part of a difficult quest.

Yo, perfect timing.

In Far Eastern folklore, the Moon Rabbit or Moon Hare is said to mix the elixir of immortality with a mortar and pestle. It's easy to see how the phases of the Moon came to be associated with renewal of life, but rabbits?

Please read my theory about the comeback. ⏬

In Ancient Greek folklore, a phoenix is a long-lived bird that cyclically regenerates or is otherwise born again. Birds mostly fly to the heavens, snakes live on the earth, as well as “below” the earth (the underworld)

Waaay back! (You can tell it's way back as I havev my old color scheme) I used to joke Puss in Boots was my father. XD

Though, considering the Fairy Tale is either Italian or French in origin, and my origin is from Scottish folklore, probably unlikely now. XD

I finally watched the Ghibli film Pom Poko and loved it. It's all about tanuki, has a yokai parade, lots of references to Japanese folklore, and a nice message about looking after the environment.

just learned today that in japanese folklore, there's a yokai called the Amabie that emerged from the sea and said, "If disease spreads, draw my picture and show it to the ill, they will be cured."

Everyone, stay safe always! and wash your hands!

In Irish folklore, pookas are mischievous shapeshifters who take forms of both humans & animals. Usually they gallop around as black horses, knocking down fences & stomping crops. They'll entice drunkards onto their backs for wild, death-defying rides.
