Alien Mythology - Tumblr Posts
Have the uniima or slomen made any mythical creatures? What are they like?
While there are definitely many different mythological beings in the cultures of both, I really felt like showing the sloman equivalent of a dragon.
These beasts go far in sloman history. They can be even found in their cave paintings, often as 'hunting' targets of prehistoric slomen.
Because of how many cultures have named their own beings and how different they are among these cultures, I will not name them here.
You can encounter them in hundreds of legends/folktales with some regional quarks to each. Sometimes they fly, sometimes they lift mountains and shape the world, sometimes they suck people inside their bodies, teleporting them to strange locations (...), and other times they are simple monsters fought by sloman heroes.
Other places these beings are common in are regional flags, blazons of houses or families, house decor, weaponry, some religious imagery, and naturalist books (many groups believe they are real, same with thousands of other mythical beasts), etc.
Their form is not consistent. The number of "limbs" and "fingers" is an exception. Few cultures even depict them with full vertebrate bodies with the whole 4-limb piece being the creature's head.
