Mythical Beings

Mythical Beings is an investigation into the mystery and fantasy of the world's traditional cultures. It contains so far a census of 50 beings that exist in the imagination of the peoples, embodying millenary values and teachings. Some of them are known to the general public, although, in general, only the picturesque form is preserved, and what wisdom and worldview they contain is discarded. This research is the brainchild of a painter, Ana Santiso, a writer, Palheiro, a board game creator, Fernando Cimadevila, and several restless souls (Daniel, Kai), with the aim of learning from these ancestral cultures, enjoying their fantasy and their art, and above all, reviving their legacy with new technological forms, but always with respect and affection for the original contents and styles. The format chosen is that of a trading card collection, digital of course (NFT), which is distributed in packs of three random cards. To complete the collection, the user must contact other creature seekers in the world, through the forums on Discord, the marketplace, etc., in order to exchange the repeated cards for the missing ones. There are also some game dynamics, such as crafting (burning five common cards to obtain a rare one), morphing (burning a card to obtain another of the same level), and a jackpot for those who manage to complete the collection. Users who complete the collection also get access to an e-book with descriptions of the creatures and an overview of the history of their culture of origin. We also have a board game, funded by a global Kickstarter, an online shop, and we are preparing an online game with the NFT.
