About the work

A closer look.

Invented a creature? Or love a monster from myth and folklore? Name your beast and I find its oldest written record, quote it, and hand you the one detail every retelling drops. Works for a monster, a cryptid, a dragon, or something nobody but you has ever seen. Built for worldbuilding, tabletop RPG and bestiary entries, fantasy and horror fiction, or anyone who wants to know what the old sources actually said before everyone copied each other. The basilisk is the proof this is real work. Everyone pictures a serpent the size of a horse. The oldest record says it is a foot long, and a weasel kills it. Yours has a detail like that too, and almost nobody has dug it out. What you get, one page: - the oldest source I can find (book, chapter, and translator where one exists) - the creature as it was actually first described - where your version splits from the record - cite-ready, so you can check every line yourself Send me the name and anything that matters about it, plus a reference image if you have one. Delivered in 3 days. One revision included. If it misses what you meant, say so. You keep the veto.
