My Favorite Monsters:
Gorgons
Do... your snakes bite?
Would you mind wearing sunglasses so I can actually look at you when we're talking?
Sometimes I scare myself when I look in the mirror, as if I'm going to turn myself to stone.
My skin is drying out, the heat doesn't do my scales any favors.
Sirens
You know what the legends say about sirens, that they can lure a sailor to their death by just using their voices.
Hey, would you mind cleaning up after yourself? You keep leaving feathers everywhere.
I brought earplugs, I hope you don't mind.
I'd make a killing at a nightclub with this voice of mine.
Relax, if I wanted to kill you, I'd have done it by now.
Centaurs
...You're standing on my foot.
Can I braid your mane/tail?
It's so hard for me to find a good place to lie down these days, so I usually sleep standing up.
Get on my back, I can give you a ride.
Would you mind backing up a bit? You're crowding me.
Shapeshifter
Is the transformation process painful?
Can you turn into (x person/thing)?
Changing takes a lot of energy out of me. I can only hold a certain form for so long.
That... was not a pleasant sight. I don't think I want to watch that again.
I told you, it's not some magic trick I can do on command.
Selkie
This coat is so thick and warm.
If you know what's good for you, you do not put that on.
Give that back to me right now.
So you just... turn into a seal when you wear this?
There's a reason you don't see many of us in the wild anymore.
