It does appear in Greek Mythology though. In Greek it's known as a Ketos but if I go around saying that: one, people won't know what I mean and two, I sound really high and mighty :P

The Norse and Greek religions are pretty much the same in structure- they're part of the Indo-European Pantheon. The Celtic and Semitic religions are part of it too...

Anyway, I'd be very interested in this if you're still accepting. Could I be the Nemean Lion?

Isn't that the great white tiger of the west Bai Hu? Well that's what he is in Chinese mythology anyway


Basically. Every East-Asian culture has their own name for it.

Don't flatter yourself too much. The Kraken (which is strictly speaking closer to the definition of a cryptid) and the Ketos (plural) are only similar in that they are large underwater monsters. Ketos is the root word of Cetacean, the order of mammals such as whales and dolphins. If you want to generalize the hell out of them even more, just call all of them "leviathans."

While they might be comparable in structure, we're discussing the individual facets that differentiate them. Saying, "To hell with it, they're all the same," is the bane of anthropologists, archeologists and historians everywhere.

But they are! They were all inspired by the dinosaurs, anyway. You know, when people saw a dinosaur flying over them, they called it a dragon, and so myths were made ;).

Seriously though, I did mean only generalising. I know they have many differences- the Norse mythology didn't have the god of lightning being the leader, for example.

I'm back! I'm sorry that I've been missing for the past few weeks. My network crashed hard core and it was only fixed last night. I am still interested in moving forward with this RP, that is if there is still anyone left who was interested in it to begin with...

I'm still interested, glad things are working out now. I'm on my way to bed and tomorrow is a no good day for me but I'll be here Friday as far as I know. Still really interested in the idea!
