Genies and nature spirits included.

Have you ever asked yourself: Where did the name 'manticore' come from? What does 'cheshire' mean? How do I play Uno on my Xbox? Now you can ask other anons or just talk about your waifu('s origins)! No surprise that most MGE monsters are derivative of other works. That said, the sources can vary greatly from mythology to classic literature to even contemporary fantasy/science fiction. MGE takes a rather narrow lens to monsters with sometimes interesting or complicated origins, which are then filtered through Japanese pop culture (ex. dog kobolds). For anons who want to learn a little more about where (or when) their waifus come from, I made this thread. Any anon can add to this thread with info, book/media recommendations, or requests about a specific monster. >Doesn't everybody already know this stuff? Maybe. But probably not. Besides, it's an excuse to nerd out. I'll start by noting some general trends on sources: >D&D monsters Monsters inspired by oldschool Dungeons and Dragons, or Japanese things that "borrowed" from it like Dragon Quest and Record of Lodoss War. Some of these have clear European/African/Asian mythological origin but a surprising number of them are made up. Lich, mind flayer, gazer, and kobold are all examples. >Mythology monsters (foreign) Mythology monsters, gods, or spirits from around the world, often a pop culture version of them. This is by far the biggest group but also very chaotic as it contains gods and house spirits side-by-side. Anubis, Khepri and Apophis (Egypt); Bunyip (Australia); Wendigo (North America) are examples. >Mythology monsters (Japanese)

Cute angels, badass angels, biblically accurate angels and similar divine beings all welcome, as long as they're fluffy!

I like fish.

Summer of 202X. It’s been one year and three months since The Portals opened. To the west of the Roswell Portal Crossing is the first Royal Oasis of Earth, the home of The Pharaoh Najia. She, in conjunction with the Apache residents at the Mescalero Reservation (where part of her Oasis resides), has sent an open invitation to the bards and musicians of Earth and beyond The Portals for the first Grand Tribal Jubilee, a time honored monster tradition, in the new world. For more word of mouth and positive buzz, Najia takes her husband’s advice and expands the Jubilee into a larger festival, now called Lunapalooza. Multiple acts sign on, and the size of the event grows into a seven day extravaganza. Tickets sell like wildfire, and the last few available sets become scarce. Through a stroke of luck, Anon’s friend Ben wins a pair through the Kold Calls Radio Show, and the two begin the long trek to this life changing event… Welcome to Lunapalooza This will be my first CYOA that I've done in a long time, so bear with me as a I shake off the rust. As mentioned in the writing thread, the goal of this CYOA is simple, make it to the end of the festival, and hopefully find a wife by the end of it. Updates might be somewhat infrequent, but as I get back into my groove (and life doesn't decide to fuck me over), I should be able to post more regularly. Player interaction will be relatively simple, there will mostly be multiple choice options, depending on the scenario, stats and/or roll checks will be enabled. If consensus on a choice isn't reached, we will roll for a tie breaker. It's greatly encouraged to also pitch forward ideas and alternative options as well. Now, with all that settled, let's get into our Prologue.

all shapes and sizes edition what size and body type would you want your foxwife to be? small, cute and funny? big, soft and warm? remember that foxes are first and foremost master shapeshifters, theres no need to ground your desires for the sake of realism~ why do you desire a fox of this type? what sort of scenario do you dream of when imagining life with this fox? have you considered the challenges you may face with this type of fox? your lolibaba hagwife might be a master cook, but how will she reach the kitchen counter? likewise, isnt it cruel to have your 2 and a half meter tall amazonian fox goddess hunched down in it as well? previous thread >>55526

Obligatory joke about horsegirls riding you instead of you riding them

''"Do you think you've got what it takes? The Ultimate Tournament is entering its OPEN ENROLLMENT SEASON! All contestants are welcome, regardless of age, race, species, disposition, social standing, marital status*, financial condition, tribal allegiances or personal beliefs! Looking for fame and glory? Seeking a bountiful career as a mercenary or a paramilitary agent? Or are you simply looking to impress that guy you like~? Climb the Tournament Ladder and become the ultimate champion! Smash the competition, rise through the ranks and face the final challenge! Challenge the strongest! Claim the best!" *Married women are not to participate in matches with any other man than their husband.'' "Hrm." The Tournament, huh? The Ultimate Tournament, or U.T. for short, had become one of the most popular sports in the monster society, if not the most popular. Thousands upon thousands of women each year flock there during the open season, hoping to rise to fame, glory and wealth. Or, at least, to snag a cute boy for themselves. Speaking about the boys, your eyes fall on to the bottom line of the ad billboard, which, unlike the bright-golden text above, is written in crimson red, albeit in smaller font: "~♥Male participants receive a 1,000 credit advance, and a partner of their choice♥~" Oh, well. You see, a lot of challenges in the Tournament often include boys, one of the reasons for the immense popularity of the sport. They're almost never fighters or soldiers; their role is, well, how to put it... it can be boiled down to being the "prize" or "treasure" to be seized by the real challengers. With the natural female-to-male ratio being several hundred to one in humans, and several thousand to one in monster populace, there aren't that many men, to begin with; and out of those, not very many are keen on playing the role of monster bait. So the monsters, in their effort, have to resort to all sorts of tricks to lure in men. That, or it's just because the whole franchise is owned by a small group of demons and raccoons, who are well-known for their tendency to pamper and spoil men. You stop for a while to think about it. You're a big fan of the Tournament, been watching their matches since the age of five and playing all their videogames. Usually, you don't actually see yourself as a player, even as bait, but now you think about it. Why the fuck not? With the non-lethal, monster magic-doped weaponry, a combat contest is not the brutal, painful and messy business it used to be at some point in history. And, you can see that your days of living off unemployment benefits are ending. In fact, you're not gonna be surprised if your very first wife-to-be is already on the hunt, seeking to seize you. Maybe even a group of them. In fact, it might happen as soon as tomorrow, if not today. You don't know of any man that stayed an Incubus Fidelis for more than half a year, and it's been almost a whole month since you have matured. So why the hell not? You're gonna be losing your virginity any day now. And you aren't sure whether the first one to catch you would be one of the more aggressive monsters, such as an amazon or maybe a hell hound, or it would be one of these sneaky business ladies that can wrap you up through a series of endless, interconnected Terms of Service, Product Usage Policies and EULAs... What have you got to lose, anyway?
