Mythical Creatures

All across our planet, many countries have their own mythos that is embedded in their culture. There are still many unpopular mythical creatures in from different ethnicities in this world and the hopes of giving them a spotlight in this mod. Some of them can be tamed and utilized/owned by the player i.e. mounts. Some are hostile from the player and present a threat to their adventures. Mythical creatures create a sense of mystery and wonder from the player and various cultures it comes from. We will be dividing them as seen below.

## **Greater Dragons**

They will be the mascot and the eye candy of this mod, I would argue they alone would be a great attraction for players to install this mod. they can be tamed and mounted, they can carry items like pack animals, they can fly, breathe projectiles, use their mouths, tails, or arms. they can be a player's mobile bases. there are only few in the world and the players are not expected to tame all or either of them in their playthrough. Still in multiplayer, they will be a great value or threat in the player base, they are rare in the world and takes time to find, yet they are also difficult to tame. They will reward the player a great mount or color coded dragon armor.

Greater dragon species will be color coded, Red, Green, Black, Blue, plus the larger the larger animals are in real life, the less diverse their colors are. Real life examples are the komodo dragon (mainly black) and blue whale (mainly aqua blue). In Ice and Fire mod from Minecraft, each type of dragon has many colors, examples are the fire dragon with 4 different colors, emerald, bronze, gray, red. Ice dragons have blue, silver, gray, and white.

However Vintage Renaissance dragons each represent a European power with a color associated with it's faction, with it's own lore and historical background. Ice and Fire bases their dragons from popular fantasy TV shows, I tended to be more historical and cultural

## **Miscellaneous Mounts**

Mounts aside from Greater dragons, involving other dragon or non dragon creatures, they can be tamed and mounted by players, they can also be packed with saddlebags albeit not as much as their larger counterparts. they make it easier to traverse the terrain. They are often rewards for defeating them instead of their drops. Their taming can be unique and have their own complexities for balancing. you don't need to tame them all or any of them.

Those that cannot fly effectively will dominate ground combat and can traverse difficult terrain by jump power and speed, those that can fly will be susceptible to anti air- will tire and need to ground for rest, those that dominate the seas will be weak on land. Mounts are still creatures and unlike wooden mechanical ships, they cannot be relied for travel indefinitely and may tire otherwise people will have no incentive to use wooden mechanical ships.

## **Lesser Dragons**

Some of which are a subgenre of miscellaneous mounts, these are smaller dragons often from different categories of dragons examples are.... wyverns, wyrms, drakes, amphitheres or other smaller dragons. They have more variance and variety in their coloring but maintains the more zoological designs

## **Creeps**

These creatures create incentives for players to combat entities. Many mythos in our world often comes to the mysterious and supernatural. although mostly dark and harmful, some creatures could be neutral and provide exclusive forms of trade. They prefer to stalk and ambush their victims
