What do you think about mythological creatures in cartoons? Should there be more?
I wish there was more and than the adaptions would be a bit more faithful to the original concept
>>84351176
This.
>>84351148
It never occurred to me that Tirek was the villain from that Gen 1 movie. I thought he was based on some myth. I've seen it years ago, know the plotand fetish scenes, but never caught his name.
I prefer my mythical beasts obscure, any schmuck can do a dragon or centaur. What earns my respect is when you dive deeper into those wellsI know what I and OP posted, I don't care I want a mythical beast thread dammit
Is that Pepper Hicks? He's a shitty mentor and a centaur

>>84352257
Speaking of autism...
Why are crossovers considered autistic?
I'm curious
>>84352284
Because autism is a meaningless buzzword around here. Also it's the kind of thing we all got way into when we were 10 and a lot of us are embarrassed by it.
But nevermind that, obscure mythological creatures. Sorry for the /v/I'm not sorry.
>>84352506
Because of how it messes up both universes and never makes logical sense.
>>84354634
I think so.
>>84351646
Aztecs have some cool creatures, wish they were depicted more often.
>>84352985
As pure fanart I see nothing wrong with that. As terrible franchise crossovers like the Sonic and Image Comics crossover, that's just a cash-in.
Fans drawing or creating things on their own are something I could care less about.
I'd like to see an adaptation of the Tarasque in something /co/ related.
>>84354887
Shame the only Tarasque I know of in media is the D&D version, which couldn't have less to do with the actual legend

To be fair, I do like that the DnD mythos made it a super unique rare creature and that it's insanely hard to kill (or so I hear, truth be told I have at best a shaky estimation of DnD damage stats).
At the same time though, it has that kind-of-cool/kind-of-played-out MTG look that everything produced by Wizards of the Coast has.
>>84354881
I like the Mayan concept of the "cosmic beast" (or so I read it translated as).

All he needs is a yarmulke and a law degree.

D&D Tarasque is basically Godzilla crossed with Doomsday.
Even if you kill it it comes back.
>>84355444
>cosmic beast
Reminds me of this guy. They call it Rahab (which is also the name of a prostitute). It actually has a pretty interesting story.
>creature that swam the "waters" God was hovering over.
>wasn't directly created by Him.
>He had to personally go down there and slay it.
>>84362069
How is what allowed?
Someday I hope. Someday

You know what I'm talking about.
>>84362704
>there was no episode of gravity falls where the gang get fucked with by a talking mongoose only mabel sees
i really like any kind of fantasy creatures
the big griffin like creature in the storyteller was pretty cool
>>84351176
It'd be nice if they didn't nerf the fuck out of deities for a change.
>>84355444
>it's insanely hard to kill
It's a melee monster in a setting that revolves around magic. Any half decent 3.5 character can neutralize it trivially.
>>84362506
Rahab is Leviathan, it's only ever spoken of figuratively (Job, Isaiah, Psalms) as primordial (like Behemoth and the Sea) and was incorporated into the Bible from other myths (like satyrs).
In any case, God brings it up to note He toys with it like a small bird. Elsewhere it's noted God did indeed create everything and can do anything. Power-wise it isn't closer to Him than anything else, still cool though.

Not a clue, Satan.

>>84351646
while it's nice to have variety, obscurity shouldn't be the deciding factor. Monsters should be used for their merit instead of how far they are from the mainstream
>>84351083
I think if an updated show brings back an old villain...they should check with the parent company for the proper spelling/pronunciation of that villain's name instead of mispronouncing it like lots of fans do.
I only saw that movie 2 times as a kid in the 80's and I knew his damn name was Tirak, and not "Tirek".
>>84367712
The g1 character had a couple possible spellings being either "Tirac" or "Tearak" depending on which version of the movie you had, so it makes sense to combine them into one similarly spelled name
>>84354887
This thing gives me the creeps
>>84352284
St. Elsewhere
>>84364666
It was the '80s. You could get away with showing naked, buff centaurs on showed targeted at young girls back then.
>>84362704
Looks like a Pokemon

Mamoswine to be specific.
>>84351083
Mythical beasts, good, mythical characters (thor, odin, zeus, etc) is just lazy as fuck, unless its shows explicitly about those pantheons, like say, Hercules.
How come Naive American or pre-Columbian societies doesn't have cool mythological monsters?
>>84372226
Because they do. Their mythological creatures just have terrible PR.

For a show about colored horses, Tirek was metal as fuck.
>>84355444
There's always the before-Wizards-of-the-Coast version.
>>84366423
>It's a melee monster in a setting that revolves around magic.
From what I recall in 2nd edition, it had insane magic resistance.

Were those gonna be a thing?
>>84372764
Yeah the movie he was in was considerably darker than the other g1 MLP stuff which was a bit more on a Carebears style
>>84373122
>Were those gonna be a thing?
No
>>84372436
>All those stubs
That's pathetic.
>>84374305
What?
>>84351083
Has there ever been any western adaptation involving Scylla? The only thing I've ever seen her in was Castlevania.
>>84375634
Would Ursula from The Little Mermaid qualify?
>>84372226
They have, but the popular girls are the Greek, Norse and Egyptian pantheons, with the occasional Asian monster from time to time.
>>84375819
Eh, she's just a big octopus lady. I want full, balls-to-the-wall throng of sea serpents and giant wolf heads Scylla.
Ursula might fit for Charybdis though.
>>84375974
Sounds hot, but disgusting
Eh
>>84375634
I think she appeared in Disney's Hercules animated series, and in one or two 90s movies.
Once in a while they make for a good excuse to show topless, nipple-less breasts.
