Mythical Beings of Fantasy


Those who personify myth, might and magic

Fantasy equal: Mythical Creatures

In the worlds of fantasy it is likely you would cross paths with a few of a multitude of mystical beings and beasts. This wide variety of beings fantasy writers and game developers can choose from are mainly thanks to the vivid imaginations of our ancient and medieval forefathers. Ancient and medieval forefathers, I salute you! If it were not for your stories, fears, misconceptions, artistry and creativity, I would have been completely hooked on something ordinary, like sports, as is the case with almost every male on the street.
A fantasy realm is simply not complete with only kings, peasants and warriors. A true fantasy tale is made by conjuring up some magic and ecnhantment. An adventuring party is not complete without its magic wielding cleric, druid and mage. A crypt is not nearly frightening enough without undead and vampires lurking in the shadows. Where’s the allure of an enchanted forests without fairies, nymphs and dryads taking care of it? How can there be a legendary cave without an ancient dragon guarding his treasure in the cave’s deepest, darkest cavern? And where’s the fun of having only human heroes and villains? Bring forth the Elves, the Dwarves, the Hobbits, the Orcs and whatever other races are out there!
This collection forms the other corner stone of the theme and purpose of this blog. Fortunately there are photographers and designers out there who are also inspired by mythical creatures and the beauty, grace, enchantment and mystery they stand for. It gives me much pleasure to give you some of the master pieces they have produced.

  1. I agree. It would be very dull without the deities left us by the ancients. Now a days they seem to be no more than fairytales. Only Pan seems to have held on to his lecherous rep. What's forgotten is that their meddlings with mortals were always fueled by lust. That's how demigods like Hercules came to be. Zeus was "poking" around. There must have also been some male on male, God on mortal sex as well. Helenistic Greece was notoriously homosexual and well built athletes were supposedly naked 90% of the time. A god could have his pick of any nude, well muscled, male physique without the risk of someone sired. A few years ago there was a movie re-make of "Midsummer's Night Dream". Rupert Evert and Stanley Tucci were cast as Oberon and Puck. No etherial spirit and his pixie. These were males of nether world with ready genitals between their legs. There was even one shot of Oberon with erotic, muscular males grouped around his throne. This is how the ancient gods must have been. Mythic and powerful, but also possessing cum fueled cocks.
