The A to Z Blogging Challenge is underway!
If you haven't heard of it, check out the A to Z blog and join in the fun.
Here
at Untethered Realms, we're taking on the Challenge as a group. Each
day, one of us will be sharing with you a fantastical creature that may
be from one of our books, a favorite movie, or something we just came up
with as entertainment.
N is for new creature to me.
Here are new creatures the authors of Untethered Realms would like to tackle:
M. Pax - In the future, I'd like to write about something mischievous like a water sprite.

River Fairchild - I'd like to write a fantasy based on the Norns. The Norns are the three fates of destiny in Norse Mythology, much like the Greek Moirae but with a few important differences. They nurture the giant tree, Yggdrasil, which connects the nine worlds of the Norse Myths in its branches.
Christine Rains - I would love to put a new spin on one of the classic monsters: the mummy. This isn't just any zombie. This is a royal lich!
Cherie Reich - I've always wanted to work with gorgons. Medusa and her sisters get a bad rap, and I'd like to explore more gorgons from the three sisters and what they would be like.
Ellie Garratt - I'd like to write about the Furies, the three goddesses of pain who punished evil souls for Hades in the Underworld. I'd like to take them from the Underworld and set them on another planet. Perhaps they went there because Hades sent them? Or were they taken against his will?
Julie Flanders - I've become interested in witches and witchcraft - not the comical image of a witch riding on a broomstick but the witchcraft that involves black magic. I'm currently trying to work on a story that includes this and am learning all I can about amulets, spells, grimoires, and the tools of witchcraft. I'm loving it!
What creature ignites your imagination?
