Genuinely been to busy to make an appropriate post for it, but we have found ourself full-filing a cycle in this site.

A whole year of posts around all kinds of archetypes used in this medium, found by me or shared by many of you.

And for that, I'm grateful, from the heart.💚

Surprised their lemma isn't "If there's a story to tale, there's a case to chase."

This serve as part of a registered service that deals with criminal reports around fictional stories.

Likely works as an "Interpool" of the supernatural, traveling all around one tale at the time

Annoying roommates are one thing, but just because this fit anywhere now believe they Own the realm.

This examples have supernatural qualities and, perhaps per preference or no luck looking for a better place, share a room with the lead (and most likely the spotlight as well).

A living representation of 'Trial and error', but the results, it's just terrors.

This examples aren't a well adaptable copy from the source, what's more, they may devolve as time goes on.

Probably kept around as playthings by the creators, or at best, still genuinely useful.

Need a hand? Need Another?
Want the whole deal?

This examples can detach/remove (and back on) any part of them and still move them at will

Probably a play of the 'Ghost limb' feeling, where this react as if this could still move it even if no longer there as an "And if it did?"

A classic of classics.

Popularized in 1900's literature, it comes from the folklore of how this reflected the natural environment they resided in.

This have an "antagonistic" air to them, so if not straight up villainous, will still be narcissistic and/or impulsive in nature.

"Am I being myself today?" may come to mind when you're not feeling well or at your fullest, but what if it was said by whom was never been 'it' in the first place?

This sentient examples (or not, surprisingly) weren't "naturally birthed", yet desire to be as 'someone' who was.

This examples have such powerful control over a realm, they could extend it to a non-Physical territory, or became it and still has the need to rule over a kingdom.

Likely to not be a literal case, but a superficial tittle of one that no other can take on, not even the living.

Man, I heard this trope is rad for doing anthology stories for each room/floor, as the source can come from anything that counts as supernatural or out of this world and-sh*t, is cursed for being built above Indigenous graves isn't it? Is gonna be graves.

Non surprising when one realize their most notorious feats are done through Bravery and Adventures (Quests), being everything a kid could look up to be, but instead of doing all the cycles of the correct training of Squires, they just become it for being 'that good'.

"Hot Headed" or "Burning Anger" much?

A waste of potential if they couldn't bend flames of their own, wouldn't it?

It really isn't necessary, but that's what makes it special.

Unknown if this ignite or even hot, but likely to use shower caps made of aluminum.

A one-on-one of the most, Flanderazied take on the fantasy creature, as 'fictional' as the genre can give.

Will rarely not have a prominent role in the show, but if so may just appear as a fast gag to make fun of classical mythology compared to the one present in universe.
