[WP] "Ugh! Why is it that all these magical lands have dark lords threatening to take over?" | A gigantic rainbow portal opened over a lush green field and a gleaming white dragon fell out.
The hill-sized dragon kicked up a huge storm as it fell onto the field. Leaves and branches were whipped from trees and carts and wagons were sent flying. The dragon came to a rest on its back, unmoving.

[WP] It was well known that the Americans were using werewolves, and that the Germans and Soviets each had their own race of vampires to help them in WWII. Not many people knew of the secret Canadian platoon and their wendigo. | So, you want your dear old grandad to tell you about the war? Well, I suppose I could do that. What do you want me to tell you ‘bout? Landing at Omaha beach? Fighting on Iwo Jima? Perhaps even marching across the Alps into Italy? Oh, I know! I’ll tell you ‘bout the Wendigo.
