    The Forgotten Realms has most of these

    Vampire Dragons: https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Vampiric_dragon

    Demon Unicorns: https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Black_unicorn

    Skeleton Wizards: https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Lich

    Fey Werewolves: https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Brokenstone_Vale

    The only think I don’t have on hand are angel ghosts and lochness mothmen in the Forgotten Realms, though I think you probably could find the former.

    You should look up what happens when an Elser Brain decides it wants to take a dragon for a spin around the block.

    Sorry, best I can do is vampires again. If you’re good, I’ll also toss in a society of werewolves that they are in constant war with for some reason.

    In D&D 3.5, a lot of those are templates you can stack to your heart’s content.

      I was trying to figure out how many you could stack, just going by the SRD. I think the best you can do is:

      Ghost Half-Dragon Half-Field Petitioner Worm that Walks Demilich Lich Pseudonatural Vampire Celestial Lycanthrope Fiendish Phrenic Paragon Human

      That has everything but Skeleton, Zombie, and Half-Celestial. Skeleton and Zombie make you mindless (which keeps you from becoming a Worm that Walks) and require a skeleton (which a Worm that Walks doesn’t have). Half-Celestial requires you be good or neutral, and turns you into an outsider, which only a Worm that Walks or Half-Dragon could undo. And it would work great with Half-Fiend if it wasn’t for each one forcing an alignment the other restricts. I don’t think any of the ones that don’t change creature type change alignment.

    No shit, in my first book, there’s a zombie bigfoot. Well, not the standard bigfoot, a variant, and it wasn’t “just” a zombie, it had other powers and stuff.

    But hybrid beasties are fun

    As someone who occasionally peers into the Bigfoot fandom, trans-dimensional, alien Bigfoot is a thing. As in, the reason we haven’t found him yet is because he can disappear into portals. Sort of like “The Long Earth” but instead of Terry Pratchett it’s poorly written youtube scripts with AI thumbnails.

      Man, the long earth series is so fucking good. It isn’t as well known as his discworld stuff, obviously, and it isn’t fantasy based in the usual sense, but the story arc over the series is just so well built, and the world building is a delight.

        Yeah, I fantasize about moving “sideways” often. Wherever I am, I wonder what that location is like in the untouched East/West + 1. Then I remember I have some medical metal in my body. It’s not critical, but it would be a little worrisome to jump back and see it sitting on the ground.
