Creatures of the Fae Realms

Many readers are often curious where I got the ideas for the creatures I include in my stories. One of the things I love to do is incorporate traditional folktale and mythological creatures into my stories. After all, Fae themselves as well as the courts of Fae come from traditional folklore. I do believe in giving credit where credit is due. The following shows a list of the different mythological creatures or types of Fae I have researched and incorporated into my version of the Fae Realm using my own take:
Lampir- vampire lore from Bosnia
Quanlier- Cherokee legend of half wolf half man creature
Adjule- a cryptid canine from North Africa near the Sahara Desert
Owl Griffin- not sure where this one originates from, but if you type it into Google images, you won’t be disappointed by the cuteness that fills your screen
Siren- Greek mythology
Stymphalian bird- Greek mythology
Incubus & Succubus- Latin in origin
Goblin- European folklore
Redcap- English & Scottish folklore
Troll- Scandinavian folklore & Norse mythology
al-mi’raj- horned rabbit from medieval Arabic literature
Djinn- Arabic folklore
Pookah- Celtic folklore
Changeling- German & Irish folklore (and probably some other countries as well, this one seemed fairly common)
