🐄Baba Yaga, Dragons, Giant Talking Pigs🐄

We'll see what happens when a king who wants one son gets more than he bargained for: three sons, with the oddest one of all, the one capable of calming dragons (when he's not slaying them) and outsmarting giant evil pigs (when he's not slaying them), being born...from a cow.

😈 The Creature: Coliunn Gun Cheaun

The worst, best headless friend you hopefully never had.

🍺Meet Cambrinus, things aren't going so well for him🍺

He's a peasant kid with a job that's going nowhere, a crush who doesn't love him back, and no one takes him seriously when he absolutely knocks it out of the park playing the viola. If only he knew he was destined to be legendary King of Beer.

😈 The Creature: The Cocoa

A two-foot-long sparkling cat sounds like a lot of fun. Until it's very much not.

🤑 The Monkey King and friends are making money and staying in fancy hotels🤑

What is this that you heard about them being monks? What? No. That's ridiculous. They don't know why you thought that. So weird. They are horse traders who trade horses while they pass through this city that murders monks. Wait NO DON'T TOUCH THEIR HATS.

😈 The Creature: The Cinnamologus

We meet the cinnamon bird, because who doesn't love their cinnamon sticks covered in bird poop and lead?

⚔️The plight of the Viking celebrity poet⚔️

Friends become enemies, enemies become friends, and none of what you actually say matters all that much...as long as you're famous.

😈 The creature: the cicada

It's not a creature at all. Just a normal bug...or maybe that's what Zeus wants you to think?

🐸Love means never having to say I'm sorry (I poisoned you)"🐸

...or something like that. This Valentine's Day there are three love stories from Japan. On the first, a man moves on after becoming a widower (kind of), on the second, two frogs fall out of love...with a place, and on the third, the whole world is in love with a geisha.

😈 The Creature: Maikubi (舞首)

Three heads that don't so much as dance as they do bite each other and sink ships.

🎉At a bad New Year's party?🎉

It has to be better than little Joe and Baptiste's New Years, in the frigid Canadian wilderness. But they're going to change that. By making a deal with the devil.

😈 The creature: The Yale

The Yale, or the Centicore, is a super goat who's super famous despite not deserving it at all.

🌲Trolls, zombies, and evil housecats🌲

It must be Christmas in the Nordic countries. Today, a young officer is stuck in the city after being in a brief coma. At least there are some tales to keep him company.

😈 The Creature: Frau Gauden

The creature this week wants to give you that dog you wanted for the holidays. The catch is that it can never leave. Also, it will attack you.
