In which I need a hand killing off mythical beasties
3-2-1-Panic! Ok, so it's not that bad, but still. I've been wracking my brain for more than a month on the subject of "Mythical Beast(s)" and finally, on Monday, sparked off an idea I can run with: The Gashlycrumb Bestiary. I had been dead set on doing something awesome with alliterative verse, but my brain wasn't cooperating, so rhymed couplets it is. *sigh* Fortunately, they are completely and totally period. Also, I don't know what I'm doing for the "these are my strengths as a bard" category. Maybe another Sir Gawain excerpt, since I already have one mostly prepped. Last-Minute Girl strikes again.
So, Gashlycrumb Bestiary. I'm killing off the beasties alphabetically, but I'm five lines short of the 26 I need. I need to do away with an Incubus (pairs with "J is for Jormungand, strangled by Thor"), a Kraken (or something else starting with K), and a Roc (pairs with "Q is the Questing Beast, gone with no trace"). I haven't even chosen the beasties for L and S (maybe Salamander, but how do you kill one?) (Edit: I have drowned the Salamander. Close enough. ^__^). Oy.
So I turn to you, my f-list, for help. I need creatures (medieval, Norse, Greek, Persian, Arabic) and causes of death.
Help me, LJ-Hivemind! You're my only hope!
