Same goes for minotaurs. In Greek mythology, it's the Minotaur, only one and it's a man eating beast. Modern fantasy makes minotaurs into a whole species. I've seen at least three different stories that have a minotaur as the first mate of a ship.

[up][up]I got two of those already. They're the lacertans's mounts: Asiaceratops and Rajasaurus.

Oh, the April Fools day, the one day in the year when I refuse to believe anything anyone says to me.

[up][up][up]Oh, there's lots of those in Greek myth. Hydras, pegasi, medusae, chimeras; all originally singular creatures.

I don't mind the A Kind of One trope, actually. Mostly because I love fantasy worlds filled with Loads and Loads of Races.

It's not racist; it's cool. It's a sign of life returning to Atlantis after the defeat of the Dark Stone Cutters.

Have you used terror birds? Because terror birds are awesome.

Especially if you use the literal meaning of their scientific name: Ragthieves. I have no idea what it means, but it sounds cool.

[up][up]Yes. The familiar Allisa can turn into a Phorusrhacos in times of battle (she's a tiger shrike in times of peace). I also imagined human and grey alien scientists working together to resurrect the species.

Nah, Atlantis as a sunken city is a myth. In reality, it just shifts back and forth underwater every now and then, which drives the local real estate crazy. Imagine the situation where you can only market the house having a beach lot only for a few hours a day.

I was under the impression Atlantis sank because of mining activities and that Hercules was involved in it somehow.

...

I seem to fail a lot at mythology, at any rate. (The few times I get something right tends to be accidental.)

Those furry, teddybear-like Bee Flies are the Mews of the insect world, I think. I randomly find them only once a year at best and they always flee the moment I get within picture-snapping range.

No, I meant flies in the genus Bombylius, or at least one certain species (resembling these)that I haven't identified that lives in the mountains here. The adults come out around this time of year for about a month, but they're rather scarce, very easily startled, and usually found in isolated parts of forested areas.

I've always hated April Fools' Day. It's all lies, cruel pranks, and things on the Internet that would be cool if they weren't also lies and cruel pranks.

Well, everything on the internet is either a lie or a cruel prank, regardless the date.
