MYTHIKA THE GAME PART ONE
Very much like an enhanced Lufia game, with many new features. Especially the gold-cave feature is enhanced and increased, making the game very replayable.

LIST OF ENEMIES (All Cryptids and Mythology/Folklore monsters)

You can find all the names on Wikipedia, while I changed many creatures around and based many looks on fan art of creatures I’ve seen and on Game-Appearances (for example, the Alraune I use from Castlevania) Most of the designs and ideas I have in my head though, are from my own imagination and ideas.

What use does this list hold to you? Well there are many ideas in there with mythological/cryptid monsters for your own game, it also places similar creatures together, so if you need an upgrade for your own created game or RPG you can see which monsters perfectly match with each other.
