Mythical Creatures


Many of the characters and magical creatures found in Fablehaven have a rich mythological, religious, historical, and cultural background.  Use the links below to explore the rich history of Fablehaven and its enchanted occupants!  Where applicable, I have listed examples of magical characters in parenthesis. While investigating the real legends and stories behind Brandon Mull's characters, think about how they compare and contrast to the magical world he created.  Do you think he altered and kept aspects of these creatures for a reason?  What symbolism do the real myths lend to the creatures of Fablehaven?
