An aquatic feline from Librum Prodigiosum! The Orabou, a legendary fish described in French cosmographers André Thevet’s Cosmographie Universelle in 1575- a work made to describe every part of the known world. This unusual beastie was said to live in the ocean by Mount Marzouan, they were 9 feet long and apparently had foul-tasting flesh which caused kidney stones if ingested!

Swan Maiden 🦢 drawn for Librum Prodigiosum.

Swan Lake is my favorite ballet (and Barbie movie), so I'm really happy I had the chance to illustrate this! My patronus is also a swan 👀

Hey guys! Check out these sample pages from the book version of Librum Prodigiosum! This isn't what the final product will look like, but it gives us an idea if how it might!

What do you think?

This is an awesome blog and I'm so glad it's not Big Foot-centric like a lot of cryptid stuff seems to be. Any recommendations for other creepy/weird/paranormal blogs that I could follow?

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoy it! There aren’t many active informational blogs like mine but some i love are: @librum-prodigiosum, @cryptozoologygirls, @cryptoclass, @thecryptocreep. I probably forgot some but my brain isn’t working at the moment.

Are there any blogs you would recommend? Also, are there any you wouldn't, and why?

Well my ultimate favorite blog is that of A Book of Creatures: https://abookofcreatures.com/   (I share the real website, but he also is on Tumblr) For me this is the ultimate way to learn about obscure and never-heard before monsters from all types of cultures.

My other favorite blogs kinda runned dry… I loved the crittercompendium and Touch of Strange’s bestiary… But they don’t update anymore on that part.

If you love monster’s for RPG’s like D&D and Pathfinder, you would like thecreaturecodex and printableheroes

And I follow librum-prodigiosum, which posts a new mythology creature every day. Most I know about, but sometimes he/she surprises me!

Otherwise I want to know from you guys what other cool mythology, RPG or Monster based blogs I should follow!

=====

I know they have lots of fans, but I’m not a fan of Bogleech, mostly because i’m not fan of extreme popular blogs. But if you like slugs, slimy monsters and everything NON-mammal you should follow them I guess.

I never unfollowed a blog before, but the Harry Potter based blog of (The Monster Blog of Monsters) is too SJW-like for me. And while I agree with some of the SJW points, I think it is too extreme when you don’t use demons in your work because you think they are blasphemous, or Golems, Philippine monsters, Native American Monsters and Djinni because you think that is criminal… 

But that is my opinion of course. If you like Harry Potter monsters and ideas, and think the same way about monsters from cultures and religions, you might like that blog.
