I'm looking for online references to world monsters and demons, not just the usual stuff that we all know about but more obscure stuff, any links or posts about monster/demon/folk tales from around the world sites would be helpful..
If you don't mind going to print, I'd like to recommend dropping by a Barnes and Nobles and looking for an encyclopedia of mythology. There are several different editions, some affordable, which cover quite a bit of international myth and lore. Your local library is also invaluable for such research.
Dude, go get some D&D monster manuals
there's entire demon/devil sections , lol
theres Deities and Demigods, Fiend Folio, Monster Manual 1-3, and some other stuff from 1st ed.
and some good 2nd. edition manuals too.
screw 3rd. that stuff is dumb.

Or that...
:D
Do you hate books? Is this because you hate books? I'm a librarian, you know. I take this stuff personally...
*harumph!*

Thanks all!
Paul - NICE!!!!
Spenoza: my local library is my next stop. On a side note, I checked out SuperGods by Grant Morrison. FANTASTIC book. Couldn't recommend it enough.
Yokai are a sorry neglected lot, even by the Japanese.

Check out Pinktentacle.com they have some awesome yokai stuff.
I want to contribute to this thread, and, seeing as this is PCE world, you might find this bit of trivia interesting:
Spriggan is an ugly little fairy (no, don't even attempt to make a lame joke). They can alter their size, too, when necessary.

Anyway, spriggan should not be confused with Ghost Warrior Spriggan (aka Spirit Soldier Spriggan):

Naxat was a developer that hailed from...Japan, I believe.
Yes, I'm 90% certain that Ghost Warrior Spriggan (Spirit Soldier Spriggan) is of Japanese origin.

That lil' guy is Cornish.... so I guess he comes from Nebraska. :D
Donna is from Cornwall, and the first time I heard her mention Spriggan, my heart did a skip. But she wasn't talking about the game.
Apparently it is Cornish. I've lived in Cornwall for years and not heard anyone make a mention of a Spriggan though. Mind you, I don't talk to people.

Coud it be that you're a spriggan and didn't know it????? ;)
Well I just looked in a mirror and there is *some* resemblance.
The funny thing is, speaking of spriggan, my nickname in high school was "Corn Wall".

So, Paul, do you think Nando realizes that I was messing with him earlier?
