* OurGryphonsAreDifferent: In ''Barlowe's Guide to Extraterrestrials'', griffins are fancifully portrayed as a species of real, albeit extinct, creatures native to Central Asia, which endured until at least the first century AD before dying out for unknown causes. In a nod to speculation that the griffon myth arose from early discovery of ''Protoceratops'' fossils, they are portrayed as literally being descended from a mutant strain of the actual dinosaurs, and consequently depicted as ''Protoceratops'' with avian wings and long, feather-tipped tails. Female griffins excavated extensive tunnel systems in which to brood their eggs, often bringing gold to the surface as they did, but only a very brave or very foolish person would have risked delving into a griffin's nest to get it.

* OurSoulsAreDifferent: ''Barlowe's Inferno'' has a rather terrifying prospect for all human souls who go to hell. Apparently, the underworld ''does'' have a food chain, but humans are at the bottom of it. And that's not counting the fact that humans are the ''main building materials'' for demons; their livestock, vehicles, and war machines all made out of souls.
