I found a bunch of creatures used in Celtic Mythology. I dont think they are used in the Mabinogion but that shouldnt stop us from using some if we think they'll work well in our game =)
Adar Llwch Gwin
Afanc
Ceffyl Dwr
Coblynau
Cwn Annwn
Mallt-y-Nos
Cyhyraeth
Gwyllion
Water Leaper
I also think a good location to base the majority of the game at could be Otherworld. We could make it a very bizzare, whimsical place filled with sureal land formations and Celtic stones.
Do want feedback =P

I do like all of these creatures and especially Otherworld as a setting in aim to not be cliche fantasy. thinking about it Trine is rather cliche.
ReplyDeleteCoblynau or gnome (whatever) that causes rock slides i like design wise, rockslides could be their attack which is different from just melee or bow and arrow attacks. one thing im struggling to think of for combat are different ways for enemies to attack without just pawning thihngs off as magic or bows.
Coblynau are interesting because they are used in all sorts of games. In Welsh mythology they are called Coblynau but in other myths, Germanic.etc they are known as Kobolds. Popular in fantasy games like Wold of Warcraft and Dungeons and dragons/forgotten realms.etc
ReplyDeleteI always find it interesting how different characters/critters find themselves in very similar myths from all sorts of nations.
