You must already be tired of unicorns and fairies, and perhaps you need to start something different. Let's say you needed a new Dungeons and Dragons monster, so here's a clear guide to how to make your own 'myth' creature...



  1. 1
    Get a book, movie, or look online for a mythological creature. This will help you get an idea for the thing you want to make. Role-playing games (RPGs) have many 'myth' creatures from the last 40 years. (D & D-since 1974)
  2. 2
    What will your 'myth' creature do? Does it face hug people and lays an egg in their throat? Does it jump tree to tree searching for blood? Does your creature control magic in the air? Maybe it lurks underwater to guard something... Does it live in an imaginary world of yours? If you get stuck along the way, just look back in your book or movie.
  3. 3
    Put your creature on paper-what does it look like? If you can't draw, write words about it, or use a game called 'spore' to create it on a computer.
  4. 4
    Bring your creature to life. Write stories about it-maybe send it back in time to 'fight' knights and peasants. Draw it doing the things you made it for!

  • Show the creature to a friend; another mind helps the creature seem more life-like.
  • It helps to add minor things-like how the vampires can't cross moving water or can't show up on film or mirrors.
  • Steps two and three can be switched for the way you think


  • If you send it out into the real world (like those Internet forum sites), quickly check if it already is 'out there' before you do anything else. That way you'd be safe from plagiarism.

Things You'll Need

  • Paper (optional)
  • Pen/Paper (optional)
  • A book of mythological creatures
  • A good film about mythological creatures, e.g. How to Train Your Dragon (if you have one)
  • A good imagination
