Directory of Fantasy Races and Creatures Resources

Home > Arts > Genres > Science Fiction and Fantasy > Themes > Fantasy Races and Creatures

Fantasy races and creatures are beings with ties to history, religion, legends and mythology as well as imagination and fiction. The lines separating these may not be easily visible. They may also be clearly defined by those who are passionate about them. Where traditional origins are drawn into fantasy and pop culture - past and present - is where this category begins.
