Titania


"Queen of the Fairies and wife to Oberon. She is derived from Diana from Roman mythology and is immortalized in Shakespeare's play, 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'."

In the legendary comedy, Titania is named as the queen of the fairies. Due to the massive success of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and its status as a classic, Titania is used to name the fairy queen in many other works of fiction even though it wasn't a generalized name for the fairy queen in any ancient mythology. While considered beautiful and delicate, Shakespeare portrays her in the play as a very proud fairy, with powers that easily match those of her husband Oberon.

Lilim


In Jewish folklore, lilin (or lilim) were dangerous creatures. They were said to be the children of Lilith by Samael, the angel of death. They are demons and are similar to succubi. Men feared the lilim for this reason and women also feared the lilim because it is believed that they kidnap children like their mother Lilith.They always took an appearance of a sexy,busty girl.Their existence is valid.Some people love to summon them and sometimes sell them in the black market as prostitutes.Trust me,if you found a nympho in your nearest brothel.There is a possibility that she is a vampire or a lilim.This sexy creatures is always being mistook with succubus.Because their similiarity in appearance.

Alice


"I want you to do just one more thing for me...
Would you die for me please...?"
—Alice
based off of a myth of an Aryan girl who died at a young age. When Alice died and became a spirit, she gained extreme magical power that drove her insane. Alice was used to scare Scandinavian children into behaving, or else Alice would visit them at night and kill them so that she may become "friends" with them. Due to the overwhelming support of both theories, it is easy to assume both are valid.I personally think this is the most cutest mythical creature due it's appearance.Some research say,she loves to say,"I want you to do just one more thing for me... Would you die for me please...?" Awh,it's not bad being hurted by a nice little girl,isn't it? Just don't die.

Yamata no Orochi

"A giant snake with eight heads that fell at Susano-o's hands. The sword that came out of its tail was the Ameno-murakumo-no-tsurugi, also known as the Sword of Kusanagi." If you found nine head snake... It's not yamata no orochi. That must be Anata... But,trust me! I'm not sure about my own hypothesis

Valkyrie


""Choosers of the slain" in Norse mythology. Armed with shining armor and spears, they look for brave warriors to take to Valhalla, so that they may fight in Ragnarok."


In Norse mythology, a valkyrie (from Old Norse valkyrja "chooser of the slain") is one of a host of female figures who decide who will die in battle. The valkyries bring their chosen to the afterlife hall of the slain, Valhalla, ruled over by the god Odin, where the deceased warriors become einherjar. There, when the einherjar are not preparing for the events of Ragnarök, the valkyries bear them mead. Valkyries also appear as lovers of heroes and other mortals, where they are sometimes described as the daughters of royalty, sometimes accompanied by ravens,and have a lovely voices(?) The warriors-caste loves them but their family isn't. No one likes someone who took away their family lives,isn't?

Scathach

"A warrior queen of the Land of Shadows in Celtic lore. She taught the Irish hero Cu Chulainn the art of war, and gave him the spear Gae Bolg."


Scathach ("Shadowy") is a figure in the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology. She is a legendary Scottish warrior woman and martial arts teacher who trains the legendary Ulster hero Cu Chulainn in the arts of combat. Texts describe her homeland as "Alpi", which commentators associate with Alba, the Gaelic name of Scotland; she is especially associated with the Isle of Skye, where her residence Dún Scáith (Fort of Shadows) stands.

Scathach's instruction of Cu Chulainn appears in Tochmarc Emire (The Wooing of Emer), a foretale to the great epic 'Táin Bó Cúailnge'. Cu Chulainn and Emer fall in love, but her father Forgall forbade the union until Cu Chulainn has completed his warrior training. Cu Chulainn and his friend Ferdiad travel to Dún Scáith, where Scathach teaches them feats of arms, and gives Cu Chulainn his deadly spear, the Gáe Bulg.

Cu Chulainn begins an affair with Scathach's daughter Uathach, but accidentally breaks her fingers. She screams, calling her lover Cochar Croibhe to the room. Despite Uathach's protests, he challenges Cu Chulainn to a duel; Cu Chulainn dispatches him easily.

To make it up to Uathach and Scathach, Cu Chulainn assumes Cochar's duties, and becomes Uathach's lover. Scathach eventually promises her daughter to him, without requiring the traditional bride price. Scathach also grants Cu Chulainn the "friendship of her thighs" (they have sex) when his training is almost complete. When her rival, the warrior woman Aífe, threatens her territory, Cu Chulainn defeats her in battle and forces her to make peace. Aífe also sleeps with Cu Chulainn, producing his son Connla, who Cu Chulainn kills years later without realizing he is his son.

Archangel

"Eight of the nine orders of angels. Their duty is to minister humans and deliver messages. They are at constant war with the fallen angels."


In the nine orders of angels in Christian teachings, archangels are among the eighth, making them second in the third hierarchy. Archangels are one of the few bodies of angels that contact those on the material plain directly and are the ministers and messengers between God and mankind. Some of the most famous archangels include Michael and Gabriel who both appear in the Bible, although only Michael was named expressly as an archangel.

According to some texts, archangels are also the primary warrior race of angels and are known to be at constant war with the fallen angels. It is even suggested that Lucifer was an archangel before his fall from grace.

Sylph

"A cheerful, mischief-loving spirit that governs air. Since belief in it dates back generations, many have tried to find a real sylph."


An elemental is a mythological being first appearing in the alchemical works of Paracelsus.

Seth

" The Egyptian god of the desert, chaos, and evil. He murdered his brother Osiris and tried to become chief god, but was castrated by Osiris's son, Horus."


Set, also spelled Seth or Seteh, is a deity from Egyptian mythology. Set is the deity of deserts, storms and chaos and served as one of the greatest deities in Egyptian myth. Set was married to the goddess Nephthys, who was also his sister. He killed and dismembered his brother Osiris out of jealousy. Isis, Osiris' wife and sister, reassembled him and Osiris became the ruler of the dead. Isis gave birth to Osiris's child, Horus, who became an enemy of Set. In later myths, Set fought Apep each night as Ra journeyed through the underworld. Set had been demonized to some extent, and the Greeks interpreted him to be a force of evil, which may be one of the reasons he is viewed as an antagonistic force in the original novels.
ConfusionEdit Confusion sectionEdit

Seth was one of the earliest major Egyptian deities to be demonized. Already associated with the uncertainties and hardships of the open desert, he had a bad, but not ignoble reputation. Due to Set's ties with his mortal enemy Apep, the two became ironically intertwined. Because of this, especially in the western world, conceptions of Set began to take on the serpentine features of Apep. This is further confounded by the inability of archeologists to identify a specific animal-form to Set, so instead the label "Typhonic" was adopted, like-Typhon of Greek mythology, which is to say of many forms, primeval, and generically serpentine. It is not impossible to see how it was Set became likened to serpents, even while no such relationship exists. It is even possible because Set's animal-head often adorns staves, the long slender snake-like shape of a staff was attributed to Set, such as when Moses transmutes a staff into a snake in the Old Testament. And even in modern times images of Set have been probably more influenced by the fictional demi-god 'Set' of Conan fame than any actual representation of Set. All of this comes to a head in the second Digital Devil Story novel which features Set, Typhon, and Apeps (plural), and in league with one another.
