	Creature Building 101: Part 3
		In plants, the pollen is carried to the egg by the wind or an unrelated creature.
		Most creatures who participate in sexual reproduction on this planet have two sexes, but that doesn't have to be the case for fictional creatures.
		However, if this area of creature interaction isn't at least investigated by the author, then the risk is that every unusual creature will be assumed to have a personal life identical to its earthly counterparts.

	extraterrestrial intelligence, character of
		Science fiction has envisaged the possibility of everything from kind, wise, and even cute extraterrestrials, like ET, to utterly malicious, scheming monsters, like Giger's Alien.
		On balance, ever since Wells unleashed his marauding Martians (see War of the Worlds, novel), the fictional creatures from "out there" have tended to be of the usurping, death-ray variety - not surprisingly, since this makes for a more compelling plot.
		Any creature we contact will also have had to claw its way up the evolutionary ladder and will be every bit as nasty as we are.

	Pen Pen's Evangelion
		In fact police have said "we are looking beyond the deity," continuing an unjust favoritism of fictional deities that has long hampered Nigeria in its development of equality between people and fictional creatures.
		For instance, unicorns are not subject to having their droppings picked up after them because they are “distinctive and extraordinary creatures whose droppings are filled with wonderment and magic,” or at least that’s the explanation to their policy.
		Anyways, the police spokeswoman quoted a villager who had tipped police off, as saying the sorcerers ate the flesh of some of their victims, the villager first became aware of this after turning down the tantalizing offer of a “Bring Your Own Decomposing Human Flesh” BBQ.

	Werewolfs
		The truth is that were-creatures do exist today(a lot more than you would think) and have existed in the past in every society, every culture, every people.
		Also, modern werewolves and were-creatures fit the same patterns found in folklore the world over, NOT the current "mythos" of werewolves that is based entirely on movies and books and is far removed from modern day real sightings and ancient folklore.
		If these people who think they are were-creatures are simply people catching onto a cultural icon, one would not expect were-creatures to conform in their "hallucinations" to ancient, little known folklore instead of the current media image.

	Existence (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		On the contrary, merely possible individuals (and fictional individuals as well) have no more claim to be regarded as a kind of individual than rocking horses have to be regarded as a kind of horse.
		That, however, could have occurred only if a fictional character could ever be the same person as a real-life one, something which is extremely debatable to say the least, even though it is entirely possible that a real-life character should satisfy the same description as a fictional one.
		That is not to say that there is anything wrong with saying ‘Socrates is not fictional’ or ‘Socrates is not mythical’, but only that it is misleading to construe those propositions as ‘Socrates is not-fictional’ and ‘Socrates is not-mythical’ rather than as ‘Not(Socrates is fictional)’ and ‘Not(Socrates is mythical)’.

	Vampyre Fiction
		But some representatives of the new trends in Vampyre fiction stand out above the rest, and it is some of these which are discussed in the remainder of this article.
		Until a few years ago, the general trend has been to cast the Vampyre in the role of the evil one-dimensional monster whom one or more protagonists must overcome in order to save themselves and their loved ones.
		The book is filled with historical and fictional characters who become embroiled in the various plotlines.

	RPGnet: Review of Dweomercraft: Familiars
		Each chapter on a type of familiar starts with a list of familiars and their benefits, a discussion of the type of creatures (often including special rules and role-playing ideas), then ends with stats for each type of critter.
		But also opossums (possibly nature's saddest creature, though surprisingly human like, especially their hands), rats, lemmings, and mice.
		While there is a fair amount of "fluff", like introductory fiction at the beginning of each chapter, it's fairly enjoyable and does a good job of setting the tone of each chapter.

	Magic Deck Vortex: Fictional Cards
		Powershift is the second set in the CELIXIA block, a fictional block of MTG cards.

		This is the portal which will take you to a host of other fictional cards from around the net.

	Writing for Kindergartners lesson
		After having viewed and discussed the movie, the writers are asked to create their own good and bad creatures, identifying good/bad habits, weaknesses/strengths, likes/dislikes; habitation, color, size, and personalities.
		Not only are the creatures to be described in written form but also sketched in an artistic manner.
		After the books are finished, the writers submit a folder with the creature information, kindergartner interview, first through third drafts, editing sheets, and their books for semester test-weight grades.

	Getting It Wrong
		I have always disliked that weird hybrid of fact and fiction known as the "docudrama." An inherently dishonest contrivance, it jumbles actual people's words and deeds with fictional characters, invented dialogue, and imaginary occurrences—but never tells the audience which is which.
		The only real protagonists are the news headlines, whose eyewitnesses are a host of fictional creatures who flit in and out of scenes to no purpose or effect.
		The creatures eat, sleep, watch TV, have sex, make phone calls, and meet in restaurants and offices where famous names are dropped in conversation, and actual historic personages turn up in cameos.

	Angels by Peter Kreeft
		Their powers are far beyond those of all fictional creatures.
		God the Creator is not equal to any of his creatures, hut he is supreme.

	Jon Reeves - Creatures Wiki - A Wikia wiki
		Jon Reeves (previously Jon deMalo, also thjorska) was a prolific member of alt.games.creatures for several years until several periods without access to the newsgroup isolated him and he stopped posting.
		He was a member of the AGC Writers' Guild (for which he wrote Port 5, which remains unfinished), and participated in NationStates for a while until he forgot about it.
		Most of his Creatures work is still available at his website, Midgard: Tales of Albia, athough he has moved on to other things.

		The details of these fictional societies and atmosphere can be gained from the White Wolf source books (sold at most comic, gaming, and hobby stores).
		Within the global LARP, we encourage focus on the tragic and political aspects of the society, de-emphasizing the negative aspects commonly associated with the fictional creatures we portray.
		The extent to which these creatures may be said to exist is revealed only in what we learn about the human condition, and of the fragility and splendor which we call life.

		It is omnivorous and is one of the most numerous land mammals on earth, well, it isn't, but it will be in 35 million years.
		Although this is one of those fictional creatures, I later figured out that this kinda looks like a therapsid.
		Oh, well, the animal was supposedly captured and is now being experimented on by the most secretive scientific societies of the government, but it's not as good as my other drawings.

		All accounts, descriptions, and all other "Facts" are also entirely fictional, made up by Me to (hopefully) get a rise out of you people.
		At first glance, the Nargle has the appearance of a common insect, although with further inspection and research into its methods of mating, it is seen that it is actually a mammal.
		The Nargle is a small creature; about one half inch in length, with four very long legs, with small needle-like spikes, extending from them.

		As the millenium nears its end and we approach on knowing all living species of mammals and birds on this planet, it becomes more difficult to picture a time, not so long ago, when people imagined fabulous fictional creatures living on Earth.
		Born in the minds of people, and spread through myth and folklore, these animals captured the imagination and grew with the re-telling of their existence.
		One of these imagined creatures, the kraken, was based on a real sea animal, one of immense proportions, equipped with terrible grasping arms, thousands of suckers, sharp, powerful jaws, and glaring eyes the size of Frisbees.

		Students build some type of display of their creature and explain it to the class.
		Discussion: Talk with the students about the wildlife creatures as community members within the environment and the extension of this community within their own community of friends, neighbors, and family.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Lights Out For the Territory
		All of the pieces are substantially reworked and reveal Sinclair to be one of the finest essayists presently writing in English.
		Although presented as non-fiction, one should say that the boundary line between fiction and non-fiction in Sinclair's work has always been a rather porous one.
		In fact, Sinclair's fictional and non-fictional works often intersect, and part of the interest of Lights Out, for those who have read the novels, is in noting the “real-life” equivalents to people and episodes described in Downriver and Radon Daughters.

	Lake Clark National Park and Preserve Kid's Page - What Makes Up an Ecosystem?
		Students might start by listing the living and non-living things that might be a part of their ecosystem, and how they are connected, or interdependent.
		The living creatures can be fictional, but must stick to the definition of "living" that the class discussed earlier.
		If using fictional creatures, students should provide a description, including what the creatures need to live.

	Final Fantasy Extreme - Final Fantasy 10 X - Chocobos
		Chocobo's are fictional creatures from the Final Fantasy series.
		They are lovable creatures that we see appear in all the final fantasy's, and are a big trademark as well.
		In Final Fantasy X, chocobo's do not play as big a part as they have in pervious games; however, you need to master them to get around quicker and pick up some very important items that could help you on your quests.

		"The net Sinbad's men throw over the creature was a fine mesh fish net strengthened by wires, which allowed for animation-very similar to the ones I had sued in 20 Million Miles to Earth and Jason and the Argonauts."
		Sinbad and the rest manage to cover the Walrus' head with a fishing net but the creature fights to get free and is too heavy for Sinbad to catch.
		Finally the creature has its fun and decides to return to the dark and icy waters, he dives

	Urban Legends Reference Pages: Business (Naugahyde and Seek)
		Naugahyde is made from the skins of naugas, an odd yet engagingly friendly creature native to Sumatra.
		In 1981 banker Al Rosenberg, posing as fictional inventor Earl C. Watkins, regaled the audience of New York's 'The Improvisation' comedy club with an exhortation to join his "Save the Nauga" project.
		Rosenberg told his audience the nauga was "the animal from which naugahyde is obtained, the hide that all office furniture is covered with." Because office furniture was multiplying so fast, he said, the nauga was becoming extinct.

	Going Ape: Confronting Animals in Contemporary Art: Amy Ross
		While these fantastic images pay homage to nineteenth-century fairy paintings—imagined portraits of the fictional creatures—they are rooted in Biblical references and more recently in contemporary issues of genetic engineering.
		Docile and domestic animals such as sheep, goats, and chickens evoke sacrifice—a life given to us for food and clothing as well as specific biblical narratives and imagery of the sacrificial lamb.
		Now, merged with plants, these animals are hybrid creatures, as the artist asks, “What would happen if the DNA sequence of a plant or mushroom were spliced with that of an animal?” Her sheep, joined with branches and flowers, become Dolly, the first cloned mammal and the universal symbol of genetic engineering.
