As well as horse Enbarr (could go over land & sea) who'd been lent to him by his father the sea god, the Irish god Lugh also had the magic "hound-whelp" named Failinis. He could change his bath water to wine, was invincible in battle & caught every wild beast!

The Cat Sith (Faerie Cat) is not kept as a pet but avoided. Highland Scots say they are shapeshifting soul stealers, not ordinary Fae, but Witches of Faerie blood, who can transform 9 times into a black cat, only the white patch on their chest giving them away!

✨🦅✨Eagle lore...
Can stare into the sun without be blinded.
They flap their wings to summon storms.
Are guarding the sleeping King Arthur till he wakes.
Anyone who robs their nests will be cursed.
They keep their eyes keen by eating a herb called hawkweed.

A for a fairy:

'A fairy went a-marketing
She bought a little mouse
To take her tiny messages
To keep her tiny house.
All day she kept its busy feet
Pit-patting to & fro
And then she kissed its tiny ears
Thanked it & let it go.'
(✏️R Fyleman 🎨C Barker)

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.

An old Polish tale tells of a mother cat crying at a river bank as her kittens were drowning. A willow tree at the river’s edge swept its long branches into the water & rescued them. Now at springtime the willow sprouts tiny furry buds where the kittens clung.

This week's page was a hectic chase through the house. Quietus breaks through the kitchen walls trying to grab Diana & Eli. Dialed up the anime for this, pushing the extreme angles to get a sense of chaos. https://t.co/DyOvuYt8as https://t.co/6L5KrCnwsK

Alrighty, here's last week's page I really wanted to push the sickly green, and lighting, the more danger and the closer Quietus gets to the group.

Yo hago este hilo porque siempre me han resultado curiosos por la dicotomía entre bicho que me aterra y criatura graciosa del folklore japonés. Los kappa se comen a los niños (una buena manera de hacer que los peques no se acerquen a los ríos solos).
