NOTE: A Book of Shadows is a book that witch's and wizards make that tells all about different magical creatures and demons, and has spells in it. It is passed on from generation to generation, and this is what Trip has written in his so far. This is a list of the many creatures that Trip has seen, or heard about.
NOTE: Here is a list of what the colors mean:
Green is for the civil and intelligent, Human-Like beings
Red is for the Beasts
Blue is for the Normal Creatures and/or the shapeshifters.
Animal Mage: An Animal Mage is a person who is almost exactly like an Mage, they can do magic, and focus on one specific ability like steel or smithing, exept they have familiars. A familiar is an animal that works with the Mage to do certain things with their powers. They work together, and their minds become like one as they go on with their lives and know each other for longer. Some people get their animals at birth, but others when they are older.
Angel: An angel is a server of peace and love, and helps to do God (Or other religions') work. There are many different types of Angel, depending on the religion is what their form. The most common form is a human with wings and a halo above their head. When a angel falls from Heaven to Earth, and cannot return, it is considered ,"A Fallen Angel", the Angel's halo disappears, but the wings stay and can be protuded or concealed inside their body to give them a human appearance.
Banshee: This is a creature who's song is so shrill and loud that you can be killed from just the sound of the noise. In Scotlands, she takes many forms, and even if she cannot be seen, her song can be heared throughout the night of someone's death. They take the form of many people, but their true appearance is that of a deathly-looking woman.
Basalisk: When a chicken's egg is hatched under a toad, the outcome is a Basilisk. These giant snakes posess great power and strength, and are usually very large. One look into the snake's eyes, and you will emidiately killed.
Boggart: A creature that can usually be found in dark places. It has the ability to change into the form of one's greatest fear. If not handled correctly, the Boggart's ability could be fatal on the victim. Most of the time, a Boggart isn't seen, and hides until the person whose house it is hounting goes to sleep, then it goes to them at their bed, and does imaginable things to them.
Borometz: A Borometz is a strange creature. Sometimes called "The Vegetable Lamb", a Borometz is born from a stalk and stays there, feeding off all of the other vegetation, and making fruits that will make more Borometz. After they have made enough fruit, and used up all of the plants in the area, the creature falls off of its stalk, and withers, and then dies.
Centaur: This creature is very intelligent, and can speak English, or whichever country it was born's foreign language. They have the body of a horse, and the torso, arms, and head of a man. Centaurs are wise creatures, and base many things off of stargazing (Even fortune telling).
Cerberus: Cerberus is a beast that protects hell with Hades. He is said to have three heads, the center of a lion, the right, of a wolf, and the left of a dog. His tale is a drogon's and his mane is made of writhing snakes. The fact of there beeing more than one is unknown.
Chimaera: A Chimaera is very rare, and was once spotted in Greece (It had to be slain by Bellerophon, and the most famous Winged Horse, Pegasus). It is said to have two head, one of a lion, and the other, a goat. It's body is of a goat's and it's tail is a snake. This creature can breathe fire and is usually very large.
Cyclops: This is another Greek beast that appears as a man, but of great, gigantic size, and with one eye in the center of its head. They are also pretty stupid.
Demon: There are many different types of Demon. Some look like animals, and some look like giant worms. The most dangerous Demon there is is the ones who can take the form of a human being, and their true form. Most Demons are evil, and only care for themselves, and won't let anyone stand in their way. Some are not this way, and are friendly, but all demons have powers that are meant for evil, even if they decide to not use them for their original intentions. All demons have different ranks and powers.
Devilsnare: A Devilsnare is a type of plant that is never alone for they grow in numbers. Devilsnare are known to lure their prey to them, and then devour them whole. They eat anything from bugs to humans with their giant snake-like mouths.
Djinn: A Djinn can sometimes be called a Genie, or other things, but a Djinn is just a magical creature that is able of speech, and takes te form of a man (Can be any color) who has legs of smoke, and usually come out of a lamp. Djinns can grant wishes, but they can only grant three to each perso who releases him. If a wish is "Djinn, I wish you free!", then the person will take the Djinn's place, and the Djinn will live on the rest of its days as a human being.
Dragon: A Dragon is a mysterious creature that almost appears to be a serpent. It definately looks like one because of its scales and tail. Wheather a Dragon has wings or not depend on the country it is from. For instance, a Chinese Dragon is just a long snake with horns, legs, and hair (On its head and tail), that can fly. Most Dragons can fly, but some swim in the water, and have smaller wings that are actually used as fins. This is because the evolution of the species has changed them so much.
Druid: Druids are sacred people, and are almost considered to be super powerful because they can do so many things. They combined the duties of priest, arbitrator, healer, scholar, and magistrate in their lives and powers. Noted, they have all the powers evenly distribuited, but they are still very powerful. They are also very in tune with nature, and have an advanced ability to speak to trees.
Dryad: A Dryad is a Greek creature that looks like a human women, and usually is a spirit of a tree. These are basically Tree Nymphs. Their wellbeeing effects the tree's wellbeeing, and vice-versa.
Dwarf: A Dwarf is a Norse creature that is usually short in stature, but very strong. They mostly work in mines, but, which gives them strength and knowledge over things. They are very unkept, and rugged (Not to be mistaked as dirty though), but can be very friendly.
Elf: An Elf is commonly mistaken as a small person in bright green overalls with pointy ears. Sure, an Elf can be short if they suffer from the diseas Dwarfanism, but besides that, the only thing that this steriotype and the realy Elves share is their pointy ears. Elves are elegant people with some knowledge of magic, and fighting. They are very powerful, and good in combat.
Empath: An Empath is a person who is sent to Earth to help people with their problems. They acheive this goal by having the power of Empathy. Using this power, they can sense peoples' emotions. They are given this power around their teenage years of their first life, and they start to develop, then when they die, they are reencarnated back to Earth with fully developed powers, to live the rest of their days, helping people. This ability is only given to people who are thought worthy, and saintly.
Exorsist: An Exorsist is a person who has the ability to exorsise homes and villages from Demons or Demonic Auras that may haunt them. They use many spiritual items, from salts, to staffs, to sutras.
Fafnir: Fafnir is the lord of all Dragons, and controls the fires of Hell. He is very evil, and his body is completely covered in lava to protect the Dragon on the inside. He controls the walls of Hell also, and is so hot that if you get near him, you will die.
Fairy: A Fairy is a creature that appears to be a human, except for a couple of tiny differences. For example, they're tiny. They also have wings, so they can fly. Fairies are usually found in woods, and most have magic abilities, and can cast spells, or use magic powders to do some things.
Faun: A Faun is another human-like creature. You see, Fauns have the torso, arms of a man, and the legs and tail of a goat. The problem about their head is that it is a mixture of the two species. You see, Fauns have horns and ears of a goat, but the rest of the facial features of a human. It is not to be mistaken for the Greek Satyr, for it is from Rome.
Fenril: A Fenril is a large wolf spirit that only appears in the black of night. It bears large horns on the top of its head, and even though it resembles a lion because of its mane, it is actually a wolf.
