⚰️It's Halloween⚰️ What do you do when death comes for you? Well, the characters in today's stories have a lot of ideas, and they're surprisingly successful. The problem? Death works on a much, much longer timeline. 😈 The Creatures: Bulgasari Why you don't feed your rice monster metal needles. Unlike most pets, it will be fine.

🐻Ourson is a Beary Good Guy🐻 Sorry, I couldn't resist, but he is actually a good guy. He isn't a bear though. He just looks like one to people who have probably never seen a bear, because he's kind of just a very hairy kid. He's like that because his mom kicked a toad that wasn't a toad and the toad cursed him. Don't worry, it'll make sense (mostly). 😈 The Creatures: Ga-Gorib A monster who does bad by tempting people into murdering...themselves? --- Links: 📚️ Fictional is back!: https://fictional.fm/subscribe 💬 Discord: https://myths.link/discord 📷️ Instagram: https://myths.link/instagram ✍️ Bluesky: https://myths.link/bluesky 📼 YouTube:https://myths.link/youtube 📖 Source 1: https://myths.link/ourson --- 📢 Sponsors Home Chef: Home Chef is offering my listeners 50% off and free shipping for your first box PLUS free dessert for life!

🪲They're not so different🪲 One is the king of the world, and the other is a beetle. One wants to fight God, the other wants to wear golden horse shoes. When it comes to being completely arrogant and insufferable, though, they have more in common than you might think. It's two fairy tales of pride and power from Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen. 😈 The Creature: The Elle-folk They're NOT elves.

🫏One little rent-a-donkey, one big journey🫏 Actually he's a full-grown rental donkey but the journey is a big one because, when you're a poorly treated rental donkey and you have a chance to escape, you take it. Then, spend the rest of the time trying to get back to captivity because the world is dangerous and scary. 😈 The Creature: Eikthymir The giant stag from Norse myth that makes it rain...rain.

🔔Ring the bell for justice🔔 Want justice? Ring the bell. Doesn't matter if you're a horse or a snake or a merchant or a peasant but if you're one of the latter two probably don't get caught ringing the bell of justice.

Go to https://homechef.com/legends. --- Info on the science behind Pacagen: The vast majority of cat allergies are triggered by a single allergen called Fel d 1. Your allergies are triggered when you breathe in or come into contact with this allergen. But if that allergen is broken down or neutralized before you come into contact with it, there’s nothing to trigger your allergies! Pacagen’s Cat Allergen Neutralizing Spray is especially safe because the WhiskerBlock proteins powering the formula are extremely specific. That means that they do one thing and one thing only – bind to and neutralize Fel d 1. With this level of specificity, you can avoid pesky side effects caused by other ingredients that other companies use that have other effects beyond just stopping the allergens that trigger your cat allergies.  --- 🎵 Music Credits "Edgeworthia" by Chad Crouch "Pilgrim's Progress" by Chad Crouch "Dune Lullaby" by Blue Dot Sessions "Thule Racer" by Blue Dot Sessions
