Myths and Legends

👻No one parties on Halloween Night like Nera and his friends

Because their parties involve making bracelets. And corpses. And making bracelets for corpses.

It's Samhain night, and Nera, a lowly spearman, accepts a dare from his king. It's a simple task that will change his life forever.

😈 The Creature: Ahuizotl

Just a simple dog with a hand on its tail running a protection racket by the lake.

💪There's something powerful about confidence.

Except that, if you're not actually powerful...or generous...or deadly, pretending to be those things can get you in a lot of trouble. Only if you get caught, though. Three stories from South India of people who are faking it.

😈 The Creature: Okuri inu

Look, everyone wants a dog to hang out with them on the dark, scary road at night and protect them from dangerous mythological creatures. The problem is the Okuri Inu only protects you so that it can eat you itself.

The strength of twelve men. A secret, super lineage. A dwarven sword and unbreakable armor. The question is, what is he going to do with it? Start a war to try to date a princess? Start a war to try to date a princess!

😈 The Creature: Tarasque

If it looks like a Bowser, bites like a Bowser, and scratches like a Bowser, it's either a Bowser or it's the Tarasque. If it sings like a Bowser then it's probably a Jack Black.

🕷️Spiders don't have tails, but this one has tales.

Anansi is one of the most famous folklore tricksters in the world, but we'll see that behind every great trickster...is likely a trail of broken and/or angry people who want to get even.

People are crazy about this chonky snake. I honestly don't even get it.

On the podcast. Not to be king of the gods. He's actually totally not mad that his little brother is king. Because Zeus isn't the king of him. But Poseidon does do everything his brother says. Not because Zeus told him to, though. He just planned to do it anyway, so no problem.

😈 The Creature: The Alan

Just don't boil Alan's kids and you're good.

Ian's had a hard life. That life gets even more difficult when he falls in love with a woman who is (not-so-secretly) a deer. And who makes him eat her earwax.

🐒 Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, knows a demon shakedown when he sees it.

And what's happening in this town, where people need to pay upwards of $30k (in 2026 USD) a year to a Buddha they never see? That's a shakedown. Does his master, the Tang Monk, believe him? Of course he doesn't.

😈 The Creature: Man-dragon

Hey, just because man-dragon knows something bad is about to happen and shows up there ahead of time doesn't mean he's obligated to tell you the bad thing that's going to happen.

✏️Gaṅgâdhara's astrologer dad has some bad news for his boy: he's going to die.

Well, first he'll spend a decade in prison, and then die. Then things will get better? It's the story of the Soothsayer's Son.

😈 The Creature: Denpachi Kitsune

Are you sure the best student in your school isn't a secret monster? Really? Ok, then, it's probably just Denpachi.

Meanwhile, all these strange portents are leading disparate groups to a faraway island, all the while there are ominous tales spoken in whispers. It's probably ok, right? I mean, it's Maui. He's always looking out for us.

Right?

😈 The Creature: Menehune

They'll build things for you (out of love), or they'll shoot you (also out of love?) but you better not watch them do either.

🍼 If your parent goes through the trouble of getting you superpowers...

Kind of the least you can do is get them a new house. And fight all the dragons infesting that house. And get their increasingly specific and dangerous medical treatments for their very real and not made-up illnesses.

😈 The Creature: Sisimito

I did not know the Soviets had a secret program to create Chimpanzee-human hybrid. That's almost unrelated to the Sisimito. Almost.

At least that's what the queen thinks. Good thing she doesn't have the power to wreck his whole life if he doesn't love her. Oh, wait...

Sick bears eating dirt means you have to get your gunpowder boat, scarecrow, and slow stump wick. That sentence will make sense if you listen to the creature of the week.

Not Odin, that's for sure. There's trouble brewing in Valhalla, and there's only one man who knows how to solve it: Skíði, the smartest famous man of our world, Midgard. But, has the world of Midgard changed too much since Odin last looked in on it?

😈 The Creature: Kappa

Famous for being cute and giving boat rides in Animal Crossing! Don't ask about what he used to get up to before he was a kawaii manga star, though! It definitely doesn't involve eating humans and having multiple anuses!

✨Cobbler Ahmet just wants to fix shoes✨

But his wife wants those sweet, sweet bath reservations, so it looks like he's going to go be the Chief Astrologer to the Sultan. The only problem(s)? He doesn't like astrology, doesn't know how to do it, and starts out by selling his astrology by the side of the highway.

That's actually the second story, because this week there are two stories of two Ahmets following dreams. On the first is junkman Ahmet, who has the same wonderful dream every night...except when it stops being wonderful, and starts getting real, he learns that sometimes following your dreams can be painful. And also weird.

😈 The Creature: Wapaloosie

If you find you're always misplacing your gloves, they might be actively crawling away from you...because they're made from the fur of a Wapaloosie, a half squirrel, half dachshund, half caterpillar.

✏️Osmo is a pretty solid sketch artist✏️

He’s not drawing a criminal, though. He’s drawing his sister, whose only crime is stealing the prince’s heart. And also maybe trying to escape the prison of the sea king, but that comes later.

😈 The Creature: The Jurua

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, there’s the jurua who is taking their family out to a nice dinner…of your flesh. Hope you’re wearing the right creeper.

👞Goria the shoemaker has a bad boss👞

Is his boss the devil? Literally...well, no. Is the devil that Goria meets in a bar actually better than his boss? 100% yes.

😈 The Creature: Jack-in-Irons

A creature who made it a bad thing to walk around threatening people with a spiky club and wearing human heads. Thanks, Jack.

🐺Inside each of us there are two wolves. They are named 'Shifty' and 'Freaky'.🐺

Which one wins? Well it doesn't matter because they're both demons so maybe try to starve both of them out. Or spit in their faces and steal their name tags, like Sun Wukong does. No wrong answers because, in the world of the Journey to the West, anything goes.

But for real, we catch back up with Monkey, Sandy, Pigsy, and the Tang Monk on their travels as they enter year 14 and the final leg of their journey. But are they ready for what awaits them?

😈 The Creature: Intulo

An evil walking and talking lizard who just wants to watch the world die. But only if he has to die, eventually. He does? Ok, then bye, world.

🧙‍♀️So, you think your stepmom might be a sorceress🧙‍♀️

Common problem. Well, common for fairy tales, at least. But, have you thought that she might not like you putting her in a box and deciding what she is before you even get to know her? It's something you might want to think about. Definitely because you shouldn't be prejudiced. Also because if she's really a sorceress do you really want to make her mad?

😈 The Creature: Ipupiara

A hairy, smelly merman who's just trying to keep up with the trends.
