This month, look for mythical creatures in the book you're reading. How does the author use mythical creatures? Are they made up, or already established?
What I mean is, in DragonSpell, by Donita K. Paul, Paul creates her own races: Doneels, Emerlindians, Kimens, Mariones, O'rants, Tumanhofers, and Urohms.
Tolkien, on the other hand, created some of his races, but used already established ones as well. Although he created hobbits, he used elves, but still changed the common perception of elves just enough to make them his own.
How do authors you're reading use mythical creatures? Post in the comments!
