Aug. 28th, 2024 05:58 pmMonster by Starset was used in an early Arknights trailer. I saw a post arguing that the song represented the Doctor, and somehow I got confused and thought they were talking about Monster You Made by Pop Evil. I still think it fits.
Arknights doesn't usually have real-world races, but it has obvious counterparts to real-world nationalities. Sometimes painfully obvious.
If the only example of a species makes sense for its region, I count it. If the only example makes no sense, like an Indian Grey Moongoose from the Russia equivalent or a Feathered Serpent in the U.S., I don't count it. Them's the breaks.
Anywhere: Bird, Rat, Snake, Lizard, Tiger
U.S.A: Fox, Otter, Robot
South America (Not Indigenous): Dog
Amazon (Indigenous): Crocodile
Britain or France or Scotland: Cat, Lion, Wyvern, Western Dragon, Unicorn
Poland: Horse, Pegasus
Spain or Seasteader: A very wide variety of sea creatures
Basque Country: Dwarf
Germany: Goat, European Fallow Deer, Wolf if you happen to be a Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart reference.
Italy (Mafia): Wolf, sometimes Fox
Italy (Catholic) or Switzerland: Angel
Tibet or Norway or also Switzerland: Yak, Snow Leopard, Jormungandr
Greece: Cow
Eastern Europe (Jewish): Demon, Goliath. (Yes, this gets offensive sometimes)
Eastern Europe (kinda Jewish, but kinda doing their own thing): Lots of different "monsters" like Vampire or Gargoyle.
Somewhere in Africa or the Middle East, all squashed together: Camel, Zebra, Hyena, Frog, Rhino, Manticore, a couple of cat breeds.
Russia: Bear
China: Panda, Gaur, Yangtze Finless Porpoise, almost anything from Buddhist or Chinese mythology
Japan: Oni, Shiba Inu, Kitsune, Nue, Kamaitachi
Either China or Japan: Sika Deer.
Mongolia: Nightmare (technically, these are also squished into the Africa/Middle East hybrid)
Australia: Rabbit
Anywhere cold and northern that's stereotypically "primitive" or "Native": Deer, Arctic Fox, Norwegian Forest Cat, supposedly Cyclops but seems more like Norn
I don't even know: Yithian
