[Discuss] What kind of aliens are in other countries? If there are Romanian statues in Italy and folklore creatures in Japan.

In US it’s gonna be 6 7 child of terror.

I bet this thing would kill off most of the players. I wonder how they would beat it 🤔?

Are you being stupid on purpose or something?

u/megaween 8d ago

Maybe like Bigfoot and Mothman in the northern US, or native legends like the Thunderbird. In Mexico and the rest of South America, folklore creatures are just as abundant, similar to those in Japan — even religious statues play a role. In fact, I once did a fanart of a Gantzer vs. Mothman, which I depicted more like Blackheart. :P

Israel would have biblically accurate angel😂 that would be terrifying

u/Competitive_Tough913 8d ago

Isreal is already full of monsters, they don't need the aliens 😂

u/Slashfan707 8d ago

Native american aliens would be insane, imagine the beasts that they would have to fight. I'd love to see them fight skinwalkers, wendigos or the Katshituashku.

u/SD_CA 8d ago

In theory you'd have some pretty cool beast monsters in the Americas. Yeti, Jaguar men, Kukulkan (flying serpent). If they are based on native folklore.

u/Melzaris 8d ago

Australia would be Bunyip, Yowie and the rainbow serpent.

3

u/Ash_fckn_Ketchum 8d ago

Bro, Australia is scary enough with just the stuff that lives there already. No need to dip into mythology.

u/Melzaris 8d ago

I laugh anytime someone says this, like sure snakes and spiders are creepy but like, at least we don’t have shit like motherfucking bears or mountain lions haha

u/West_Mine_3039 8d ago

Ive always liked the idea that the US had cryptids like the Jersey Devil and Bigfoot along with like war memorial statues.

u/izzy_stampede 8d ago

big foot is an alien confirmed

u/piratepocketknife 7d ago

u/Sad-Boysenberry-277 8d ago

Man I hope the author sees this topic and thinks of spinoff for other countries :D
As a french, the different monsters you'd see could be :

  • Bioman, an insect controller based on les inconnus (based on popular culture like the tanaka alien)

- Christianity based aliens (Altrough Italy mission did that, I'd kill to have a Jesus as a 100 points lol, also this mission could use angels as they actually tend to be depicted)

- beast of the gevaudan (100 points, the aliens would be wolf-based + other animals you see in our forest I guess)

- gorgoyles

- A mission based on shrooms maybe :D

u/Cameolon-Monty 8d ago

In Germany it’s only a fucking wolpertinger Edit: or a better idea all the abominations and crippled people from the struwelpeter books

1

u/Galethorne 8d ago

Bunch of Wolpertingers in Germany. If they encounter Rübezahl, it's all over.

u/dotdothackers 8d ago

Americans fighting civil war icons would be hilarious.. Jackson, Lee, Grant

u/paprika12326 8d ago

Probably slenderman in Germany

u/mark_lenders 8d ago

Romanian aliens would be vampires, hopefully better than the ones we got

There are several overlaps in folklore so it's more a "best known" list.

Egypt: Several Egyptian gods.

Nordics: Norse Gods and other beasts from the Edda.

Greece: Greek Gods/ Half-gods and Titans. While they might appear as statues or humans, they could also shapeshift to animals.

Age of discovery powerhouses(England, France, Portugal, Spain and the Netherlands): Sirens, Giant Squids, giant Sea Serpents, Ghosts and the likes.

Germany/Central Europe(there are overlaps) would be based on a lot of fairy tales. So either you'd go dragons and other mystical creatures. Or you'd encounter several demons and the devil. Krampus being an example.

Ireland: Lots of pagan mythology from gods like Lugh and Balor, demigods from Ulster Cycle, Fairies etc.

Iraq: Creatures from the Epic of Gilgamesh.

India: Ganesha, Vishnu and other deities but there would be overlap to Kannon.

Middle/South America: Mayan/Aztec deities/creatures.

Haiti: Necromancers and Zombies

Some lore would result in a huge mission. Other lore is not tied to a location.
