Desired Recruits
These recruits are the ones I'm hoping to see,
so as to complete a small odysseys worth of characters!



Several Sea Monsters
You'll be Spending a Looooot of Time in the Water...
Cetus This is the Gracian iteration of the leviathan, sometimes depicted as a whale-like sea dragon of terrifying proportions, embodying the primal fear of the unknown ocean! You are to be a creature of Destruction, a Tool of the Gods turned upon its Handlers, a Symbol of the Unknown... And the Horrors which Lurk within the Deep of Meranthe!

Charybdis - The whirlpool Monster itself! Known for their insatiable appetite and sheer destructive PULL, you're the living embodiment of the whims of Fate upon the sea. You can either be a literal whirlpool or a gaping maw residing just barely beneath the surface of the water... Until the endless abyssal vortex opens beneath your foes...

Scylla - Found

Sirens - Of Greek variety; known for their weaponized voices, possessing the ability to weave the most enchanting harmonies to captivate who hears them - Melodies so intoxicating, a man might just lose all sense of reason, of personal direction. To steer themselves towards Danger itself. You'll represent the Allure of the Sea - Regardless of its dangers. 

Hydra - Hey, look, TWO who needn't stay in the ocean tiles! With its ability to regenerate two heads for every one severed, growing stronger with every injury, you as the dreaded Hydra will exemplify the relentless, overwhelming power of nature. Why is this included as a sea beast? Because its lair is in a swamp! And swamps are water! ... Close enough!

Other: Doesn't need to be Greek! I'll ask around to see if I can't somehow get you guys the sirenian swimming ability. Except you, Hydra, you know what you are. 


Notable Beasts and Burdens 
A short list - Barbaric and True To Themselves, Against the Gods.


Gorgon A horrifying creature with snakes for hair and the power to turn those presumptuous enough to looked upon them to stone - While fearsome, your aspect explores themes of female power and the many vengeances that represents. Might also include Lamias, who are straight up women with the lower half of snakes instead of the hair. Cold and Earthly. 

Minotaur - You are a creature with the head of a bull and the body of a man - And the strength of both made manifest into a singular being of utter brutality. Much like your Cyclopean king, you as the Minotaur embodies the consequences of hubris, and the destructive nature of unchecked passion. Your lust is thus excessive - So, ah, use that however you will. 

Chimera The amalgamation of the horrors of Nature - a fusation of multiple animals, from lions to goats, snakes to bats - A disgusting creature of fire who looks to have been welded together by the capricious will of the Gods, and left to rot in the world for the sin of being dull. Notably, the meaning of Chimera refers to 'unrealistic, unrealizable; a foolish, vain dream'.

Spinx You are a winged, unwieldy creature, fixed with a human head and predisposed towards riddles - Typically towards travelers, those who fail your mind games face the chance of a gruesome death... The Sphinx symbolizes the power of knowledge and the potential dangers of ignorance. Be warned; cheaters -will- google your riddles, if you're not ready to make any originals. 

Cyclops A massive, one eyed being who begins with a massive appetite - They grow to fit the mold of their surroundings, and thus mostly live in caverns so as to not push themselves past the event horizon. This does not just mean by size - You Will Adapt as a powerful force of nature - And the race of your King. I am unsure if I'm ready to give out my sickass icon yet, but when I am, I will. 


Nature Left Unchecked and Unbalanced
Elementals, typically - And otherwise. 







Lampads -  You are what one might call a Nymph - a forever beautiful and young women, known to attend to the whims of the gods - I'm calling them Lampads here, since I believe Nymphs do actually exist... You are very closely associated with the nature of your environment; in myths, Lampads specifically live within Hades' Underworld, chaperoning guests, and are closely associated with, and personify Death. The bright torches that you would hold to light the paths for the dead are said to have the power to drive one mad... You can be a typical Nymph as well, however - Of any element. Just wanted to write something fancy. 

Colchis Bull- The well known bronze bull, in which a torture device was named after - You are a beast of flame and fury, embodying these things in totality. Simple is just another word for focused, and oh brother are you focused. Your hoofs aflame when you run, and your charge is as an explosion! Interesting enough, your species has a history with the dragons; for when planted from the fields plowed by your kind, dragons teeth become something so much more. And so much less. If you want an alternative, you can instead be one of the cannibalistic Mares of Diomedes, which is almost exactly what it says on the tin. 

Salamanders/Elementals - There are Dragons. There are Draks. And then, there are Salamanders; You are part of a race of big elemental lizards which can breathe scalding steam and spit tongues of fire, who like to bask in the most intense of flames. You hold addictions not just to heat, but of Fire itself. You heal the wounds of the flames you make, the ashes which fall from the places you enflamed will become exceptionally fertile - Grass spouting from where you've lain. Alternatively, you can simply be an Elemental, a well-known Greek orb of ungodly intense fire. Your real main goal is to blow up, then act like you don't know nobody. 

Centaur
- Centaurs are men with the upper body and head of a human, and the body and legs of a horse fused into each other perfectly. You will possess immense strength and speed, practically to the level of teleportation, and your hooves can shatter even the bones of giants with a single, if well placed blow. Despite this brutish force, you are also a being known for your intelligence and cunning. However, centaurs have a nasty reputation for being wild and uncontrollable; with bestial nature often leading to engage in acts of violence, drunkenness, and debauchery. Often associated with the many untamed impulses of human desire...

Arachne -  The half-spider creatures which best symbolizes the dangers of excessive pride and the importance of interwoven humility, with the upper body of a human, and the lower form of a spider - Eight legs and all. You are a crafter at heart, meant to make THE BEST of the best of whatever it is you do - Be it potions, fashion, wears, trinkets, book writing, or whatever it is which your character will fancy. You are a being of creativity, and the transformative power of the spirit and how it sinks into the representations of the fine line between hubris, and self-destruction. For what it's worth, I do happen to have the icon for this mostly set up.


These are not all you -can- be.
But these are some groundwork ideas! 
The goal here was to display some of the kinds of magic beasts I think would go well with the Titanlands; 
though as the name of the kingdom implies, I'd really like to see some BIG people running about!
Thanks for reading!
