Монстры в игре - не с потолка взятые.
Почти каждый фолк (Folk) является прямой отсылкой к какому-нибудь мифологическому существу/божеству или растению.
Дальше бестиарий. Делю по Realm'aм.
Poury. The Poury lives in abandoned ruins and scares people with its incessant loud noise. A volume louder than usual is a sure omen of misfortune to come. По этому фолку я ничего не нашел, кто знает, может это отсылка к Банши или Пуке.
Andraste. The Andraste is revered as the "goddess of battle," but she simply doesn't look the part. In fact, Andraste herself is quite embarrassed about the whole thing. ооспади хд

Faery Realm
Самое забавное - почти везде встречающиеся в Faery Realm Poukes - это гоблины. Опять Лабиринт с Боуи вспомнил.
Ещё есть Henky - вид троллей.
When the Henky dance, they hold on to one knee and jump around on the other foot. Playing with soap bubbles is a popular pasttime of late. A troll of the northern islands. In some references, referred to as henky.
Killmoulis. Ориджинс + иллюстрация от Аллана Ли.
Несмотря на своё описание по мифам, в игре они чуть ли не очаровательны.
Impet - This little fiend is wicked and always up to no good, but it isn't very powerful. Sometimes seems to be kindly, but always has ulterior motives. (The English dialect dictionary) В 4-ом томе словаря английского диалекта я вычитал, что Impet - это Imp. А об импах известно также много, наверно, как и о гоблинах. Из вики: Originating from Germanic folklore, the imp was a small lesser goblin.
Любопытно, что импеты - уникальные фолки, которых поймать можно только Эллен. Ну да, обливать липкой белой жидкостью Китса - не слишком сексуально (кстати, Faery Cloak даёт иммунитет к этой липкой хрени). Ой, у импетов ещё и языки длинные. Господи, этот фансервис в игре ещё больше заставляет думать о Лабиринте, ахахах. Нет, не зря у Жриц-посланниц с мантией есть Стражники.
Позднее на пути встречается один из Folks: Boobrie. Щито это такое в мифах.
Он один и на него надо потратить времени чуть больше, чем на обычных фолков. Нет, он не Folklore, не босс. Но к шаманству с джойстиком надо приготовиться. 
Любопытно, что в игре Бубрик встречается не в воде и с элементом воздуха, а не воды.

Hinky-punk Will-o'-the-wisp
Дальше нам встречается Bug-a-boo! Я помню, как долго тупил, прежде, чем сумел поймать его. В игре он описывается так: Adults often threaten their children with THE BUG-A-BOO WILL GET YOU IF YOU DON'T BEHAVE. But the Bug-a-boo loves children, and wishes they'd stop saying that. Awww, thta's cute. Originally a minor pagan god of the sea in Cornwall, later evolved into a boogeyman-like figure.
Да, это бугимен. О происхождении слова:
- probably of Celtic origin; compare Cornish buccaboo the devil
- 1843, earlier buggybow (1740), probably an alteration of bugbear (also see bug (n.)), but connected by Chapman ["Dictionary of American Slang"] with Bugibu, demon in the Old French poem "Aliscans" from 1141, which is perhaps of Celtic origin (cf. Cornish bucca-boo, from bucca "bogle, goblin")
- Something that frightens or defeats one; bugbear; hobgoblin; bogy
О Бугименах вообще.
Следующий моб - Daru или Treant (Энт).
В Faery Realm Дару - это страж леса.

Warcadia
Эта вселенная была создана современными мёртвыми и их фантазией/эмоциями/желаниями, а также большое влияние на образование пласта оказали войны людей последних ста лет. Тут воюют две фракции. Первая - это Guerrillas (партизаны). Любопытно, как не так давняя история уже порождает фольклор. Хотя, крипипасты очень хорошо выполняют эту роль, рождаясь на сегодняшний день чуть ли не ежеминутно.
Hawk The Hawk are minor guerrillas who want to foil their superiors even more than the enemy. They come up with plans, but are to timid to carry them out.
Bull's Eye. They love nothing more than lining up and delivering a volley of fire. Placing great importance on teamwork, they become suddenly timid when alone.
Barrager
Ambush. The Ambush waits eagerly for the prey to step on the mines it's planted. It can be so deep in concentration, that the enemy will sneak up behind it.
Brummbear. A senior officer who loves to give the CHARGE command. It usually stands idly by and watches, but is strong and daring if it ever has to join the fray itself.
Volcano. When it gets angry, both enemy and ally alike will be blasted indiscriminately with its flames. Burning itself then coming to its sense, it's always sorry.
А вот и члены второй фракции - the Robot Army. Оригинально, просто псдц
Degasser. Its unbalanced apperance is due to training its right arm to the limit. Its movements are slow, but can pulverize just about anything with a single blow. This Folk was going to be called the Pied Piper, with the text "In charge of military music. Can't raise the morale of the robot army that does not possess emotions, but scares off the guerrillas, so not completely useless.
Ga-dearg. A weapon of war that bears the name of a mythological hero's spear. When the guerilla band hears it operating in the distance it scrambles to get away.
Ga-boi. An upgrade of the Ga-dearg, the Ga-boi is the latest weapon. Since the guerrillas can run away so quickly, it hasn't been particularly effective thus far.
Worthog. People who see the Worthhog approach its targets and drop bombs so casually, feel a chill of fear and a strong sense of outrage against war in general. Этот сукин сын летает вокруг и кидает он бомбами в вас.
Gargantua. А этот моб - ходячая дискотека, стреляет изо всех щелей 
Plagued by the Gargantua's long-range fire, the guerrillas planned a sneak attack on it, but no-one has volunteered to carry this out yet. It is the most powerful weapon in the Robot Army, but it has met no enemy that requires its full power. It is a machine, so it feels no discontent about this fact.

И второй фолклор игры - Dreadnought.
Undersea City
Данная локация наполнена существами, которые являются отcсылками к европейским фолклору и мифам. И просто касаемо разной морской живности, хах.Alraune. A magic plant that brings good luck. Difficult to take care of, though, and if it dries up, brings bad luck in proportion to the good luck it previously brought. В общем, это мандрагора.

Annwn/ Acting in groups at all times, their understanding of the idea of individuality is rather tenuous. They don't grieve, for example if a few of them get eaten.
С Анноунами (неизвестными) забавно получается. Я понял, кажется, почему их так в игре назвали. Почти нигде нет толковых упоминаний о мужчинах-русалах, так что их тут можно просто отнести к мужской половине Asrai. Можно было б отнести к классу водных духов Fuath, но там по большинству существа женского пола. АНУКА ПАГАДИТИ, ЭТО Ж ЦЕЛЫЙ МИР
Afanc. Lurking in the deep, the Afanc pulls creatures passing along the shore down into the water. Some say it's a water sprite. Others that it's an unknown. Они использовали спрайта другого моба... So lame. Интересно, почему. В мифах
Agar-Agar. Agar-Agar cannot talk, but they quiver valiantly in a desperate attempt to make themselves understood. They can communicate this way amonst themselves, however.
Its name refers to a jelly-like substance obtained from algae discovered in Japan by Mino Tarōzaemon in the 1650's or 1660's. In Japan, it is known as kanten, and has been chiefly used as both an ingredient in Asian desserts & a solid substrate to contain culture media for microbiological work.
Aughisky. The Aughisky adopts a mild tame attitude, encouraging people to try to ride it. Once they're on, however, they get pulled down into the water.
Cu Sidhe. A dog faery with a sweet appearance. It charms people with its singing, and can sometimes be found in human households living the easy life of a beloved pet dog. The name translates from the Gaelic as Fairy Hound.
Dracae. Watch out for wooden plates floating in rivers. Reach for one, and you'll be dragged down to the bottom of the river and forced to nurse the Dracae's children.
Dracae are ancient English water spirits they are shape shifting spirits that float down rivers in the form of wooden dishes, by doing this they try to tempt women into the water to recover the dishes. As the women try to recover the dishes the Dracae drag the women down to the river bed but instead of been drowned they are forced to look after the Dracae children.

В философии, связано с Индрой - паучья сеть и камни.
In the Vedic philosophy of India, the spider is depicted as hiding the ultimate reality with the veils of illusion.The Vedic god Indra is referred to as Śakra in Buddhism, or with the title Devānām Indra. Indra's net is used as a metaphor for the Buddhist concept of interpenetration, which holds that all phenomena are intimately connected. Indra's net has a multifaceted jewel at each vertex, and each jewel is reflected in all of the other jewels.

One of the creepier creatures in Scottish folklore, and certainly not something you want to meet on a dark night, is the brollachan. Said to linger around lonely places on the outskirts of civilisation, it is often associated with faerie folk and kelpies, and has sometimes been thought to be the larval form of the fuath, web-footed people believed to have interbred with certain highland clans. The brollachan is considered particularly dangerous to children.
Appearance
The most notable thing about the brollachan is that it has no shape. This is sometimes said to be because it is young and has not yet learned to keep a fixed form. It appears as a dark, cloudy entity with two bright red eyes in the middle. It is considered possible to summon a brollachan in this form, or to entrap it using magical rituals.
The brollachan varies in size, from about two feet in diameter in infancy to about two metres across at its largest. It is not a bold creature and likes to hide in shadows, but prefers barren hills to forested land. Perhaps due to its parentage, it is often found near water.
Possession
Due to its lack of shape, the brollachan covets the shapes of others. If it gets the chance, it will possess any creature of an appropriate size and pour its formless mass inside them. You can identify a creature possessed by the brollachan because it will darken in colour and its eyes will glow red. Often such creatures will behave in a wild and uncontrolled manner, as if trying to shake out the intruder. (с)
