	Mythology
		Some critics believe that the fact that the core characters and stories of modern story cycles are not in the public domain prevents the modern story cycles from sharing several essential aspects of mythologies.
		Fiction, however, does not reach the level of actual mythology until people believe that it really happened.
		For example, some people believe that fiction author Clive Barker's Candyman was based upon a true story, and new stories have grown up around the figure.

	Race (fantasy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		See list of species in fantasy fiction for a listing of fictional fantastic races and species.
		On the race vs. species issue, one might note that the most commonly used definition of a species is that creatures of the same species are capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring, whereas creatures of different species are not.
		But fantasy literature, from Tolkien to the present day, is full of half-breeds between races, of which the half-elf (human/elf hybrid) is probably the most common.

	Children's Literature Section 5: Fantasy and Speculative Fictions
		Fantasy also gives many of those who read and write it a chance to toy with some of the most powerful ideas, characters and events from history, placing them in a different context to see how they might unravel if particular elements were changed.
		Also, at least as far as fantasy is concerned, we are tapping into some of the most powerful images and symbols in human culture: the struggle between good and evil, or destruction and growth; the sources of ancient myths and legends, the great hero sagas that inspire people when we need inspiration most...
		Fantasy, with its theme of powerful, ungovernable energies (magic itself), and characters which draw from the world's ancient lifeblood (folklore, myth, and legend), is a form which speaks strongly to its readers.

	Mythology
		In modern usage, mythology is either the body of myths from a particular culture or religion (as in Greek mythology, Egyptian mythology or Norse mythology) or the branch of knowledge dealing with the collection, study and interpretation of myths.
		While in common usage of "myth", the word may indicate a fiction, or half-truth (and nearly all dictionaries include this definition), "myth" does not always imply that a story is either objectively false or true, it rather refers to a spiritual, psychological or symbolical notion of truth unrelated to materialist or objectivist notions.
		Myths are not the same as fables, legends, folktales, fairy tales, anecdotes or fiction, but the concepts may overlap.

	Wikinfo \| Legendary creature
		Many legendary creatures appear prominently in fantasy fiction, often adding additional depth to the concept of the creature.
		In modern times, consciously fictional creatures invented to test ideas are sometimes given mock scientific names; in a certain sense these are the new legendary creatures.
		Modern fantasy games and literature, from Tolkien down, also make extensive use of existing legendary creatures and have also invented new ones, some of which have passed into common usage and are thus becoming modern legends.

		Talking about a species' > going extinct on account of having been wiped out by man is entirely > different from talking about the extinction of, say, dinosaurs eons > before the human species existed.
		It is different from evolution of species in that the modifications are not limited to crossover between two genetic individuals, but many influences are present.

	LiveScience.com - Quarter of Species Gone by 2050
		Using several models that project habitat changes, migration capabilities of various species, and related extinctions in 25 "hotspots," scientists predict that a quarter of the world's plant and vertebrate animal species would face extinction by 2050.
		In the most dramatic of the scenarios, for which carbon dioxide levels grow to double that of today's levels, the models forecasted a potential loss of 56,000 plant species and 3,700 vertebrate species in the hotspots.
		The study found that certain hotspots were especially sensitive to climate change with extinctions sometimes exceeding 2,000 plant species per hotspot.
