Codex Bestiarium
A World Bestiary: 112 Legendary Creatures from 40 Traditions — Beasts, Spirits, and Guardians of World Folklore
A reference bestiary of 112 creatures drawn from 40 folk traditions, organised by what a creature does rather than where it comes from. The Irish each-uisce, the Icelandic nykur, the Finnish näkki and the Filipino tikbalang share a chapter because they share a behaviour. Six classes — Guardians, Devourers, Shape-Changers, Water-Dwellers, Sky and Storm, Restless Dead — hold entries of roughly 675 words, each carrying two independent sources, a Thompson motif code, pronunciation, cross-references and a line-engraved plate, closing with four indexes.
