Ivan fights wizards and monsters and Baba Yaga with a music streaming subscription
What do you get when your daughters have been kidnapped by a sleezy cloud and your son not only spends all of his days jamming with his self-playing harp, but DOESN'T want to tear the heads off his friends? You get Tsar Wisehead, who apparently just figured out that parenting is hard.
😈 **The Creature: Garm
Garm is serious about his job, and that's unfortunate because that job involves blood splatters and the end of the world.

418: French stories: Our Son, Ourson, the Bear
🐻Ourson is a Beary Good Guy🐻
Sorry, I couldn't resist, but he is actually a good guy. He isn't a bear though. He just looks like one to people who have probably never seen a bear, because he's kind of just a very hairy kid. He's like that because his mom kicked a toad that wasn't a toad and the toad cursed him. Don't worry, it'll make sense (mostly).
😈 The Creatures: Ga-Gorib
A monster who does bad by tempting people into murdering...themselves?

417: Guy of Warwick: Don't Be That Guy
🛡️This Guy?🛡️
This guy is Guy of Warwick, and he's your guy. But only if you need someone to be the best guy in the world at fighting and killing. It's just too bad Guy hates being that guy.
😈 The Creature: Freybug and the Barguest
Two black dogs who might give you wounds that will never heal, or maybe just stand there awkwardly until you leave.

416: Hans Christian Andersen: Humbugs
🪲They're not so different🪲
One is the king of the world, and the other is a beetle. One wants to fight God, the other wants to wear golden horse shoes. When it comes to being completely arrogant and insufferable, though, they have more in common than you might think. It's two fairy tales of pride and power from Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen.
😈 The Creature: The Elle-folk
They're NOT elves. They just look and act like them and have a very similar name but if you say they're elves hope you enjoy your VERY sick cow.

415: Aesop's Fables: Bray it Ain't So
🫏One little rent-a-donkey, one big journey🫏
Actually he's a full-grown rental donkey but the journey is a big one because, when you're a poorly treated rental donkey and you have a chance to escape, you take it. Then, spend the rest of the time trying to get back to captivity because the world is dangerous and scary.
😈 The Creature: Eikthymir
The giant stag from Norse myth that makes it rain...rain. He's not as cool as his friend, who has alcohol constantly flowing out of her udders.

"Sewer King" by Blue Dot Sessions
Jason Weiser and Carissa Weiser tell stories from myths, legends, and folklore that have shaped cultures throughout history. Some, like the stories of Aladdin, King Arthur, and Hercules are stories you think you know, but with surprising origins. Others are stories you might not have heard, but really should. All the stories are sourced from world folklore, but retold for modern ears. These are stories of wizards, knights, Vikings, dragons, princesses, and kings from the time when the world beyond the map was a dangerous and wonderful place.
