Baba Yaga, the Slavic witch, is said to have three servants: one is a white rider on a white horse that brings her clear day, the second is a red rider on a red horse that is her fair sun, and the third is a black rider on a black horse, bringing night. #FolkloreThursday
For #folklorethursday have a Cat Sìth. Depending on the stories they could be fae or a witch. They could steal souls or bless your house.
When Arthur's questing knight Yvain is spurned by his wife, he goes mad, running through the forests of adventure. He rescues a lion from a dragon attack, & the lion becomes his faithful companion, helping him reclaim his knightly virtues & win back his wife. #FolkloreThursday

Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe (1546-1601) was said to have kept a pet moose which trotted alongside his carriage like a tame dog. Unfortunately the moose got a taste for beer and ended up falling down the stairs at a party and died. #FolkloreThursday #NationalPetDay
@KikiD333 Almost all tarot decks show the Fool with a dog but there are a few that depict a cat instead, which I love. Nigel Jackson's Medieval Enchantment deck is one of my favourites.

BEAST OF BARMSTON DRAIN. A watery #Werewolf, also known as 'Old Stinker'; walks upright, human face, haunts Yorkshire’s weird wolds & a macabre drain on the edge of two graveyards near the River Humber, the site of accidental drownings, murders and suicides #WateryFolklore
#CharlesDickens had several beloved ravens each named Grip. One would swallow and regurgitate door keys and shatter windows with its beak. Dickens wrote a talking Grip into Barnaby Rudge -this Grip was said to have inspired Poe's The Raven... @FolkloreThurs #FolkloreThursday

@petersimeti I'm making a fantasy webcomic The Good Blood
It's a character-driven, half-serious adventure story with some horror elements, inspired by Slavic folklore. There are already 19 pages you can read here: https://t.co/75iqI03Nq8 #sharingsunday
Clever, talking (but non-anthropomorphic) animals appear in so much folklore, in fables, religion, and myth, but they are missing from #DnD and most other #ttrpg games. Fantasy is full of creatures based on myth and folklore, where are the talking animals already? @Wizards_DnD
