Why are Myrmidons under arthropods? The Myrmidon page linked to discusses the mythical race of humans. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.104.247.86 ( talk) 00:56, 13 February 2011 (UTC) reply

So that there is more information than just the creature and what it is associated with. Additionally, pointing out the criptoids from the folklore/mythology.

A lot of work, will do more later. If someone wants to take up and help, they are welcome to it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GreatKord ( talk • contribs) 19:56, 27 April 2011 (UTC) reply

I spotted something that should probably be edited. For importance and to make the category easier to find, humanoids should probably be moved up towards the top. Maybe after the specific animal variety things. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.118.167.20 ( talk) 22:01, 6 January 2022 (UTC) reply

 Not done: At the moment that article is still in Draft space since the AfC request was declined. If you can work to improve and resubmit the article, this can be reconsidered once the article is moved to a regular encyclopedia article. Thanks, ‑‑ ElHef ( Meep?) 21:46, 16 December 2018 (UTC) reply

Please add a link to "Firebird" page in the list of creatures associated with fire. Example:

Please change this:

Fire Cherufe Dragon Ifrit

To this:

Fire Cherufe Dragon Firebird Ifrit 24.127.159.25 ( talk) 22:40, 27 December 2018 (UTC) reply

 Not done. Firebird is a disambiguation page, and the only other possible hits there are closely related to the phoenix, which is already listed. – Deacon Vorbis ( carbon •  videos) 01:40, 28 December 2018 (UTC) reply

There doesn't seems to be a lot of discussion about why these issues are necessary. For inline citations, it does make some sense, because this list does include a significant amount of extraneous text. I don't think the descriptions are very necessary, but if they are to be kept they should have citations by them, preferably ones that are also in the referenced article. The original research tag is more interesting; since the descriptions should all be borrowed from the articles, there should be no original research unless the articles themselves have original research. If someone could compile a list of these articles, or find an example of original research in the article itself, that would be much appreciated. Theepicosity ( talk) 16:39, 9 April 2021 (UTC) reply

Chupacabra is listed under 'Bats' and is described as sometimes having bat-like features.

Chupacabras are most often described as a dog or wolf who tends to suck the blood of livestock (mainly goats and cows), and normally sighted in Texas, south to about Nicaragua, but mainly in Mexico. 164.83.115.244 ( talk) 18:04, 10 January 2022 (UTC)vbdhi (I'm not signed in though) reply

Also, the Golden Hind, listed under creatures related to blood, is not related to blood. This should be under Ungulates, Antelopes and Deer — Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.83.115.244 ( talk) 18:15, 10 January 2022 (UTC) reply

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of List of legendary creatures by type's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "tryon":

• From Agropelter: Tryon, Henry Harrington. Fearsome Critters. (Cornwall, NY: Idlewild Press, 1939)
• From Dungavenhooter: Tryon, Henry (1939). Fearsome Critters. Cornwall, NY: Idlewild Press. p. 17.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 23:33, 29 October 2022 (UTC) reply

What about Iku-Turso (creature)? Its article says "malevolent sea monster in Finnish mythology, best known for appearing in the Kalevala." Is it not legendary? 46.132.3.220 ( talk) 20:22, 10 February 2024 (UTC) reply
