Aah... I have never heard of a myth that would explain these creatures. How interesting... and ferocious. Still, these are much less dangerous than creatures such as Toothfairies. Poor things. Someone is controlling them, are they not? That is what it feels like

Toothfaires?

And I'd love to!

[ectoplasicious]

Yes, toothfairies. Have you never heard of them? Any kind?

When and where would you like me to bring it?

[poppingseeds]

None at all, actually. Are they like nymphs?

Anytime that you'd like! I'm all over the place right now, so I can meet you where you are.

They are like... fairies. I suppose the best Greek counterpart would the wild and fae-like nymphs though. Creatures of fae lore are usually described as wild and mischievous; neither evil nor entirely helpful. Some will help lost travelers, others will play pranks on even the downtrodden. This particular fairy is named after the fact that it eats calcium as it's main diet. Teeth are made of this--the Toothfairy will go after the teeth first, as they are its favorite. Hence: toothfairy.

I--apologize if that was a bit lengthy.

Um. Do you have need of sleep?

[poppingseeds]

They eat teeth? ...Right out of people's heads?

...

Let me rephrase that, my apologies. Anytime during the daylight hours. Night is not usually a good time for me.

[ectoplasicious]

Mmm, more or less.

I was just curious really. You are a goddess after all. ...I will meet you in the garden at noon tomorrow then.

[poppingseeds]

That's... rather disturbing. Actually.

Even my kind has their limits. I'll see you then!

[ectoplasicious]

Yes, well. They are a bit more animalistic than most faes. In modern times the myth has been skewed into one of well-being: the Toothfairy is a lovely winged being who comes at night to take away children's naturally shed teeth from under pillows where the children are told to leave them, and who leaves money in place of the lost tooth. In theory, perhaps this is based upon more truth than not. Toothfairies probably only ate discarded teeth, and the bones of the dead left unburied. Today... well, they are usually sold on the black market, left unfed for lengthy amounts of time, and therefore will attack on sight. It is horrible, really, the abuse they go through.

I... see. Until then, mein Göttin.
