Though Phantom Beasts originally came into being as a result of Miynie's influence, these creatures have all since been claimed and alligned to Fortuna's deific pantheons.

Though Miynie would have been content to rule them herself, happy to be the Goddess of Monsters as well as Magic, she alone was no longer capable of this feat once her power had been split apart into the gods of her Pantheon. As such, each of her sisters took up the task of presiding over certain creatures in the world, depending on what kinds of magics or physiologies they based their forms from. This was deemed as necessary, as otherwise their existence would have upset the Magical Balance of Fortuna, and none had the heart to simply exterminate all of the world's Phantom Beasts to solve this problem. Of course, even if they could bring themselves to do so, the existence of Miynie's pantheon would merely bring more monsters into the world eventually, thereby rendering it moot.

For those deities who could not take up the task themselves, due to being indisposed for whatever reason, Mighty Streike, Goddess of Death, was tasked with using her powers to forcibly bind certain creatures to the souls of those deities, so that even her sleeping (or bound) sisters could do their part.

It is said that any who is a true and devout follower of a certain Deity will never be harmed by a Phantom Beast that exists under that deity's jurisdiction, but it is unknown if this is quite true - either because those who think themselves true followers are not in fact as devout as they believe, or because those who have indeed never come under harm from certain creatures have never actually encountered them. As such, it is something of a wive's tale, and it is not advised that one tests it, especially against some of Fortuna's most feared creatures.

It is also said that Monsters which exist under the pantheons of sleeping or negligent deities are known to be much more dangerous or rambunctious. This is much more largely believed to be true, especially due to the fact that so many of the creatures said to be under the preoccupied Streike's jurisdiction are incredibly violent.

The information presented here is meant to inform you as a roleplayer about some of the more fantastic creatures that inhabit your world, but do please always remember that your characters may not always know this information! Education on Monsters is widespread enough in Fortuna that most people will have a fairly good grasp on various bits of knowledge, so don't be too conscious of this, but just always remember to think logically about your character's background in order to reason how many details they know about certain creatures! For example, if you spent all of your life in one Nation, you probably wouldn't know much about a creature that was primarily native to another!

Natural Habitat: This will indicate the country where the beast in question is most primarily known to be found. A number of these creatures can be found in other locations as well, especially if they've been domesticated, but this still has varying levels of occurrence depending on the creature.

Intellect: This identifies the monster's general level of intelligence on a scale of 1 to 5 stars. Most beasts fall into the range of 3 or less, with 1 being rather mindless and incognizant; they typically run completely on instinct. Meanwhile, 3 reflects beings capable of social functions and receptiveness to suggestion from sentient Fortunans, lending to the possibility of them being pets. 4 is an exceptional degree of intelligence and understanding, and rarely occurs. Such creatures are often considered untamable, though it has been observed as possible. 5, meanwhile, is a level of sentience that rivals the average Fortunan, and typically the only thing setting such creatures apart from the Fortunans is the lack of organized society, an inability to integrate with those outside of their own kind, or the presence of too many basal instincts.

Threat Level: This value, also from 1 to 5 stars, describes the general level of aggression and danger present in a creature. Some beasts, despite overwhelming power, are fairly unthreatening due to docile natures (so long as they aren't provoked). Others are extremely aggressive, and if they are also very powerful on top of that, must be avoided at all costs.
