Dagora loves the Windigo (Wendigo or weendigo). He has always found it horrifyingly intriguing. Dagora has always been interested in mythology but something about the windgo truly caught his interest. He loves the idea that it stood as a warning for the people not to become selfish. Gor is fascinated by horror and anything fantastical so he thinks that the Algonquian people were actually afraid of such a beast, with a taste for flesh. And how it encouraged to keep them away from being selfish even in dire situations, and keeping with the norms out of fear that they might be turned into a wendigo. He loves how much deeper meaning the creature holds than what most people believe. It stood as a warning to the indigenous people whereas nowadays people see it just as an antlered beast. Gor has done lots of research on the Wendigo and uses it as a reminder for himself, trying not to be selfish, despite not believing the windigo actually exists. He appreciates what the Windigo stands for and the fear it inspired, He is currently looking into what might have made the Algonquian people believe that such a creature existed. He is absolutely fascinated by it's origin.

his parents would always tell him the scary story of krampus during the christmas holiday. krampus, is a half goat, half demon anthropomorphic creature who would punish children who misbehaved during the holiday time. however, this mythological creature never scared alphonse. in fact, he admires the villains in any story. the good guys always win while the bad guys, well, don't - in his opinion, there need to be more winnings on the evil side.

he lives in spiez, switzerland, and they have a yearly krampuslauf, or krampus run. usually it's in other countries like austria, but his town celebrates this demonic goat and enjoys the festivities that come with it. him and his other friends made costumes of the creature and then proceeded to parade the streets of town, dancing horribly and fooling around. to alphonse, it's almost like a second halloween, which is one of his favorite holidays. he also participates in another event, krampuskarten, which is the exchanging of greeting cards that have it on them. they contain poems or rhymes which are humerus, and alphonse likes to write his own and give them to friends and family.

The Kelpie
Kell, named after Kelpie, a shape-shifting water spirit who inhabits the pools of water in Scotland. This Celtic legend has engrossed Kell and has always been his absolute favorite mythological creature. Kell once traveled to Scotland in hopes to pursue his findings of Kelpie, but to his dismay, he found nothing. His engrossment of this creature has shaped a part of him and has always made him superstitious of what he is also seeing and looking at. Since the Kelpie can shape shift, Kell has never trusted his eyes. The Kelpie is described as a black horse like creature that is able to adapt to human form. Some say that Kelpie retains their hooves when they come in contact with humans and change into their human state. Apart of this has made Kell want to learn why they do that and don't stay in their horse state. Even though Kell has read online reasons why they might change forms he wants answers and has always been intrigued as to the question: why?

The Hippogriff

"Like a griffin, it has the head of an eagle, claws armed with talons, and wings covered with feathers, the rest of its body being that of a horse. This strange animal is called a Hippogriff. The hippogriff is said to be an evil spirit resting and possessing its soul in that of a horse and griffon." - Thomas Bulfinch's Legends Of Charlemagne

One of the things that has always interested Griffith is the legends surrounding the Hippogriff, a hybrid of horse and eagle. He has enveloped himself in the stories and tales and devoted himself to learning more about his namesake. A hippogriff is an example of the impossible, Griffith had learned; they are a result of a forbidden love between two natural-born enemies, a mare and a griffin. Griffith, being born into the royal family of a kingdom with bad relationships with the other kingdoms wishes that one day he would find love like the mares and the eagles did- and make the impossible happen.
